Wow, I did not know camp could be so fun for kids! Today was a overall fun day. I showed up in the morning to a meeting of about 30 differnt staff from different Y locations. During that meeting we played a couple games to break the ice and get to know each other. I took notes about their meeting and all the upcoming events in case they were going to ask me anything after, which wasn't that bad since people were asking questions and I had enough time to write things down. We then had to play a game of personality cards with different traits on each card along with color. We basically had to arrange them in the order you think makes more sense to you and falls into your personality. It was really cool because we got to see different people with different personality's explain why they are like that. In the end we explained why each different personality category is useful at the YMCA. Everything and everyone was just so awesome in their own way. I didn't know mostly any of them but I only needed a few minutes to know how they were. It was a really awesome little workshop they did with us there, i want to show this to my class maybe. After that it was just a cool unassigned tuore that a mentor named Matt gave us around the Surf camp and all its awesome activities. Matt seems like a really cool guy so far, really energetic and has a passion for what he does. I will eventually start to learn marketing so I cant wait what that's like... (haha) I am just excited overall and happy I got the YMCA .
Today was a pretty successful day! Something that struck me about the YMCA was that I had no Idea they were so organized and the overall staff was really fun and nice. I really liked how everyone that showed up today and was in the room with us , had a positive attitude and the energy. I think the thing that stood out to me the most today was the lesson that we had about child abuse. It was a really strong topic to talk about and very serious, I liked this because on the first day they were already giving us a mature topic. I am really excited for going to different departments and meeting new people along with the events I am suppose to go. I'm really looking forward to meet and learn marketing skills. I am actually not worried about anything so far besides the gas I will be wasting to go everywhere, but It will be fun.
So currently as I stand for my internship is going well but I'm not fully satisfied. I recently got accepted to the south bay YMCA in marketing and I have no Idea on what that is going to look like. I personally think I can do way better than YMCA. I was thinking about the Olympic training center but I have to talk to Lisa about that. If things don't work out as I imagined them to, I think I'm going to just go with my back up internship which is the south bay YMCA. So far I'm excited and eager for anything that comes my way so Good Luck Me! It is now almost internship month and I have achieved on obtaining a internship. I ended up getting the one I interviewed for on interview day and it was for the south-bay YMCA. So currently I am pretty excited for doing this internship. I ended up getting marketing for the YMCA so I don't know what exactly I will be doing but it will be fun. I am ready for anything they throw at me so I shall be waiting. South Bay YMCA |
