Internships are very important for personal growth and learning. Thus far, I have discovered a lot about my self. Some things I don’t really like and others I am proud of. I have run into a few challenges along the way. I am a very creative person with large ideas, but fear of executing them perfectly. I have seen I am afraid of failure, but failure is where I have learned the most. Recently, I have had to push what I think this business needs in order to thrive out of the way and focus on doing exactly what she wants. It is interesting because my boss will say, “you are free to try anything”, but then I do and she is upset. I am trying to meet in the middle with them and be adult about being talked to in ways I feel like I don’t deserve.
I have learned that I really want to work for a larger company instead of a small business. I also learned that I really dislike Public Relations and want to finish school and become an art director. I like the idea of public relations, but it feels like there is a ceiling of creativity on it and that you can’t really expand beyond that. I am most proud of my work with a photo shoot I directed and styled. I love seeing my ideas come alive. I have seen that small business owners (especially older ones) are extremely stuck in their ways. The idea of change sounds fancy and sweet, but scares them. I want to work in a field that’s ever changing and adapting. I realized I don’t ever want to be stuck. I don’t ever want to be set. I always want to learn more.
