First week

Hi, on Monday I started the Micro macro internship program and so far it has been very interesting. On Monday morning we had a getting to know each other session and an inspirational talk by Mr.Watson who told us to be what you want to be not what anyone else wants you to be. Then Ms.Eastmond gave us some insight on the importance of setting and updating your goals, and also planning how you intend to reach these goals, unfortunately I had to leave early and my day ended there. On Wednesday morning I started my internship in the P.O.S. building under the supervision of Mr. Watson and Ms. Thompson, my main assignment is to observe, document, analyse and suggest improvements on the process by which retailers go through to sell their product mainly Popular Discounts Supermarket. So this week I did some research and formulated a questionnaire to prepare for when I go out into the field from next week, I also got the chance to go to Carters to observe their Marketing strategies and to talk to Mario, who does their stock counting and is responsible for providing a theory on any discrepancies found. Today the interns got together for another educational session with Alanna Myers who is a veterinarian but is also working with youth empowerment and she thought us the importance of loving yourself. Our next speaker Selena Dodson also made us think about ourselves this time more in depth as we had to define ourselves and the self we hope to be one day not only to us but to others. So far I have been made to think more about myself and what I want and who I hope to be and I look forward to another week.
