Last Day As A DCRHS Intern

I started off my day with an interview with Channel 7, then I came to work, I began to work on the excel sheet that Yvette and I are creating for future volunteers. Then I, transferred tasks. I helped Yvette with a diagram of the Urban Garden. She organized each bin with what was planted inside of it. I continued with that task throughout my day. I also helped Sean out with checks. We had a meeting at noon with Tony, we talked about scholarships and he gave us some good tips for college. Overall my day was good. Four years ago I walked into Ideal Group as a freshmen. I was really scared and nervous. I did not know what to expect from this. My experience at the Ideal Group has been a rewarding one. I've learned so much through the work study program. I've become a more responsible person. I learned a lot of skills that will help me out through my college life. Detroit Cristo Rey High School has put me on the right path. I have learned and received a lot of help through my mentor, sponsors, teachers and friends. Today being my last day as a DCRHS intern was a bit sad. I am excited to say that I will be working here through my college curriculum, and that I will be one of there first graduates from DCRHS. It's sad to know I won't be defined as a Cristo Rey intern anymore, and that I won't give my elevator speech as often. But what excites me is that after today, I will be a Cristo Rey Alumna and an Ideal Group Employee. I look forward to giving back to the community as Ideal gave to me. I want to be able to help out the future interns throughout their high school experience. I'm done with school and interning, but my journey has just begun.
