Internship #1 Wednesday 1/6


Work Place
The work place where I'm going to be working on is a little office cubicle and in that little office cubicle i have a computer where I'm going to be sending most of my time researching and using many programs.


Some thing that struck me?
One thing that struck me was that the Zoo doesn't get money at all to keep their animals safe and to feed them. What the Zoo has to do is that they have to depend one the money they made selling tickets for the Zoo and doing many events that will get them some money. They said that they don't get money like Sea world does because their not an organization or something like that but i thought that the Zoo really did need the money because they have a lot of in dangered animals that need a lot of care for.


Interesting Experience
One interesting experience was that i get to go in and out the Zoo with the ID card that i got. And during the time that i was there today my mentor said that i could go take a tour bus and go get a tour of the Zoo. It was really nice getting to see the Zoo again in like 1 and a half years. I also got to see the new born giraffe that was 3 months old.


Work
The work that I'm going to be doing at the Zoo is for a couple of weeks I'm going to be researching companies and other businesses that would like to help out the Zoo and we would like to auction them a couple of things and many other events that the Zoo is going to have. For maybe most part of my day there I'm going to be working in a office that's mine and there i have my own computer where i get to work with excell which I'm familiar with and with other programs and recording data.


Dress
The way that i have to dress to go to my internship is well i couldn't really tell because there were some people wearing jeans others wearing dress pants so i didn't know how i was suppose to go so i didn't know what to take a picture of. But my mentor said that almost every Friday they wear jeans and any kind of shirt but then other times during the weeks its more like a little professional.

Economic Questions

1.)What is the role of your work site/company in the larger economy?

Well the role that i think that my work site has in the larger economy is that well i don't think that it has a role because the San Diego Zoo had made their own money through events so i think that they have no role in the economy unlike Sea World and other companies that get money.
2.)How has the recession impacted your work site?

I don't think that the Recession has impacted the San Diego Zoo because since the Zoo makes its own money and it doesn't depend on getting it from some where else or getting loans then it doesn't owe anything and gets its money off of events and shows and the tickets that they sell.

Internship Day

-The time that i woke up today for internship was at 8:30 in the morning because i didn't have to be at my internship until 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

- What i ate for breakfast was some scrambled eggs and with a coffee

-Well i got to my internship because my mom dropped me off, and it took 20-30 min, and it was great i had a great day.

-The first thing that i did when i got to my internship was that i had to go to the lobby and ask for my mentor then after that i took a tour with my mentor around the Zoo.

-The place that i work at is the event planning and i work with many different people on different things. I work at the San Diego Zoo.

- Well what i did for lunch was i didn't really had lunch because i had already eaten before going to my internship

-During the after my mentor told me to go take the tour bus and go check out the Zoo.

-The type of work that i see myself doing is more research that my mentor wants me to for the up coming events

-Well i feel prepared for anything that my mentor wants me to do and i am always up for a little challenge if there ever is one. I think that I'm going to do mostly ever thing well.

-Well i don't think that i have learn anything else to be successfully

-The thing that makes me excited for being in this internship is that i get to help other people and also helping raise money for the animals that need help.

-Well at first i was kind nervous but then after a while i wasn't that nervous. I was nervous because i was in a new place with new people but i over came that and meet them.

-When i got home it was 6 o'clock in the after noon and my after noon was i got home and for some reason i was tired and fell asleep. When i woke up i went over the things that i had to do for my internship and brainstormed for ideas on how i could help.
