Four Weeks into internship-Due Friday March 25

The full name of my Internship is Dwa Fanm (meaning "Women's Rights" in Creole).
My job title is Program Assistant. The kind of service that my company provides is domestic violence and immigration counseling, advocacy for womens rights and makes referrals to different agencies.Three tasks that I have been doing regularly at my internship site is organizing and shredding office documents, creating case files. The three qualities that I have noticed about my mentor in the last four weeks are she is friendly and nice to new co-workers and also helpful. The memorable moment at my first three weeks are asking people what can I do for them, and sitting down with my friend laughing at each other and making fun of each other.Something that I really enjoy about my internship is talking on the phone.The most challenging part of my internship is filing documents away.

My internship site is located in Park Slope. Actually I leave school at 11:30 each day and I get to my internship at 12:30. I work until 4:30 and sometimes I get home around 6:10 each day. My schedule at Dwa Fanm on Tuesdays,Wednesdays and Thursdays I work from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. My mentor signs my time card and when she's not there an alternative supervisor signs for me and before I leave they always say "thank you for your time."
