1st Week of Internship

This week went by really fast. I've had a lot of fun though. I like how everyday here isn't always the same. I like the variety that there is in the tasks that I'm put on. From cropping papers, to making flyers, to laminating, to passing out letters to the elementary school kids; it's all been really fun. I'm already used to the location and the workplace too, and also how the day generally works.

Before this, I've never been on any kind of public transportation by myself, and along with this internship, taking the trolley everyday to work is also a new and fun experience. Everyday there are always new and different faces on the trolley. This definitely is better than going to school. I know its only the first week but I'm looking forward to the rest of my internship here.

Day 1 of My Internship at Pro Peninsula

I am Michael Caballero, a junior at High Tech High Chula Vista. Being from the second graduating class of my school, I was somewhat surprised last year when I found out I'd have to go on an internship in order to graduate. From the end of my sophomore year to about 4 days ago, I've been nervously awaiting a solid place for my internship. I didn't feel like it was really necessary for me to go out and look for one so I didn't actually choose this place. My cohort teacher told me that this place was bio-related, and it was all about ocean conservation. I felt like this would be a better place to intern at since it also involved protecting animals and nature. I've always liked the ocean, and all of the animals that live in it. When I was younger my favorite field trips were always those going to either the Birch Aquarium or SeaWorld. I looked up this company after hearing that I'd intern with them and I saw turtles on the front page. From that time on I've been really, really excited. I'm really excited for the rest of my internship experience here.
