Internship #7: Friday 1/15

Project Description:

Internship site: San Diego Zoo
Department: Development
Project Title: ???
General Description: Art Gallery with Alana on how all the little departments at the Zoo work together and help each other to get the Zoo running and functioning. The Zoo is run by many departments not just one because if it was just one then the Zoo would not have been successfully and as popular.

Learning Objectives: The learning objective of this project is to learn from all the departments and their contributions to the Zoo on how they can help the Zoo earn money and help the animals with any needs that they need.

Organization/Company Objectives & Benefits: Well I dont think the project that Alana and I are doing is going to benifit the Zoo in any way but it may help peopl know how the Zoo works and maybe nowpeople might want to help out the Zoo with any donation that they can to help out the animals.

Summery Of My Week

One highlight of my intership for this week was on Wednesday 1/13 when Alana and i got to go see the 4 month old baby panda at the Zoo and even though we had to wait from 9-10:30 so that the panda would just show its head it was worth it because we were the only ones that got to see that. Some challenges that I faced were well I think there was only one chanllenge which was on Friday of this week i had to be in the adoption booth and to every peron or customer that came to the booth i had to explain what our booth was about. At first i got saved twice by one of the employee that was there with me, but after those two times I told myself that there isnt every time that some one is going to save me so I just gave it a wing at it and the next customer that came I had the courge to tell them and i fell proud of myself because i got them to buy one of the things that we were selling. The way that I worked with others was by helping set up the adoption booth and help out sell. One thing that I experienced that i did not expect was that I was going to be selling at a booth because I tought that all I was going to do was help file papers and help my mentor and other people organize their things and just help out that way. But I didnt know that I was going to be selling things but it was really fun eperience. Well the first week of intership is really a great experience well maybe at first you might think that its borging but then there are things that you dont think are are going to come up or things that you dont think that your going to do but its a really fun experience doing so its a really nice and every day and week you never know whats going to happen so thats the great thing abou internship.
