1. How did you make a meaningful contribution to your workplace?
My job as an intern is to do the tasks assigned to me by the staff of digital gym. So far I contribute by sending emails to people/organizations that the movie could apply to, move objects around the office space, and providing any other support.
2. How was your work as an intern meaningful to your education?
After being an intern my views of how I learn in the sense that now I know to ask more questions, be persistent, and always working until the final product is as close to perfections as possible.
3. How was your work significant or meaningful for you beyond school and your specific internship site?
Now I have a new view of how the working wold works. Now I know that the way to have a successful business is to promote synergy, direct workflow, and be as productive as possible in a workplace.
4. How did your project(s) go from an idea or inspiration to a final product?Share out the process & be sure to upload evidence(s) of this work.
With support from our editing software/camera/lighting expert Simon, and cooperation from my fellow interns the production of my video is possible. Before beginning my video project I had to choose a subject, the subject had to be an issue that affects people in America socially. I chose male sexism because it is a very real and hardly talked bout subject. After choosing my subject I created a google doc that cover the content of my video (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CDblEbZZf8AVo3kVLIgTLkAdW6R0i-MjmjtCWfK2XfA/edit). After getting my content approved I began to interview my fellow interns. The next and final step was to put all my footage on a video editing program (iMovie).
5. What did you learn about yourself through working on the internship project(s)?
I learned that school has prepared me for the working world more than I had originally thought. I has fairly intimidated by the idea of working for a business because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to complete the work assigned to me. But since I have learned how to use relevant programs like google docs, final cut pro, and iMovie I am no longer worried about being able to deliver a string workflow.

Part 2:
1. What new appreciations did you develop while working as an intern? Why?
A new appreciation that I had developed while working in this internship is people saying good morning to each other (not a choice), not only because it promotes a positive working environment but it is also a good to know who is the building incase I would need to talk to them.
2. What qualities or characteristics did you see in the people around you that you want to develop in yourself? Why?
I notice that the people here always work until a job is done correctly no matter what. I believe this kind of persistence is the reason Digital Gym is such a successful business and if I apply this much persistence to my school work then I would be more successful.
3. How did your view of life beyond high school change or develop during your time as an intern?
Now I have a better understanding of how a multi-media based environment works, this alters how I view any future jobs that I am interested because I feel more confidence in myself as a productive worker, I now know how to handle tasks (as a professional) in a business.
4. How might internship influence the direction of your life?
Internship has taught me a lot about a strong workflow via good communication, knowing how this looks; I can identify if any future job that I have has this or not. This will determine what job I have and what business appeals to me
5. How did communication and/or collaboration at work influence your understanding of professional working environments?
Since the work here is fairly structured, certain staff are more knowledgable of one aspect of the company weather that is rental equipment, movie promoting, or financial situations. This a perfect example of excellent communication because we all know there a person that handles certain situations and it is clear on who handles them.
