Internship #11 Jan 22nd

The highlights of my week were going to different meetings, and meeting people who wanted to make a difference in their surrounding community around them. Like when I met Jimmie Slack, who is a councilman. Some of the challenges were understanding what the people in the meeting were talking about at time because I had to be able to be professional, and be a good representative for not only my organization, but my school, too. Also, when Iwas named scriber-- someone who writes the notes/ideas on a white board or big notepad from the meeting-- It was a little bit of a challenge getting the ideas and other important things down, but I caught on after a while, and was complimented on how well they said I did. There were quite a few memorable things. One I think is the most was when Ms. Helen (one of the workers at ACT) said that I made up for all three of the interns that were there before me. And that she never would've thought that the little boy who was always with his mom (she used to work with my mom), would become such a nice young man. (It was something like that, I don't remember directly but it was very close)
