Interning with a mentor is a very serious undertaking that requires a professional attitude and a very specific sets of skills. The handout detailing tips for meeting your mentor along with the audio clip giving tips for being a part of the work place were incredibly helpful in acquiring said skills. The most important thing listed for both was that the intern, myself, be personal and polite. It encouraged dressing appropriately, making friends with the best and hardest working people in the work place, making eye contact, being friendly, being punctual, being efficient, listening to all instruction, and being a valuable and contributing member of the team. These tips were very helpful and will help me when I first meet my mentor. I intend to utilize all these tips and make my internship a very positive and beneficial part of my high school career.
I envision myself gaining an even greater passion for photography, a basic understanding of the career as a whole, camera skills, and personal experience in the field. I have always been leaning towards photography and enjoyed in in very amateur forms. I intend to gain a more mature and professional knowledge of photography skills and general work place skills. I will take several specific actions in order to get the most out of my internship, including being punctual, staying overtime if necessary, becoming close with my mentor, being passionate about my work, and putting a lot of hard work in. This is preparing me for my future as a photographer by showing me what the career I am going into will be like and giving me an edge over other applicants to visual arts programs to specific colleges.
