What I’m Up To

I am doing an internship at Cottonwood Ridge in Rocky Ford, Colorado. I have been doing many different activities with the residents at the assisted living building. I have assisted to residents in playing bingo, horse shoes, bean bag tosses and many other games. Each day I get to work I help the residents by participating in an activity, then I prepare the tables in the dining room for lunch then dinner. I answer phones at the front desk and fax papers. I also help by making copies or layouts for all papers. I have helped decorate for the holidays. I help pick up anything that needs to be done. My communication goal was to be able to express myself in front of many people I do not know and learn to not be shy and nervous. My networking goal was to meet at least 15 new people in a professional work environment by the end of the summer and get to know others with in the community. My leader ship goal is to be able to fix problems on my own, share my ideas and be responsible to help everyone in the community in the workforce.
