Time Management and Juggling Responsibilities-9/8 Assignment
Between my internship, normal classwork, extracurricular activities, and volunteer work, my schedule can get quite stressful. In order to manage my time well, I keep a very strict schedule for each day. I write exactly what I do at each time of the day, for example for Thursday the 10th, my schedule had school from 8:25-1:45, my internship from 2:15-5 and cheer practice from 6-8. I then figure out what time I have available for homework and free time. I then figure out how long I will have to spend on each subject for school. At my internship, I have anywhere from one big project a day, to 3-4 smaller projects each day. When I arrive, I sit down and plan out how long I will spend on each project. This helps me manage my time and it also helps me be more efficient on my tasks. Without managing my time, I would get to half of the things I need to complete each day.
Time management is necessary in my internship and career field because like I said, I could have anywhere from 1 big project to 3-4 smaller projects within two hours. In marketing, every project has to be done by a specific date so the marketing work will be useful and efficient. Also, since there are so many daily projects, it is necessary to manage when you will work on each task in order to get all of them done.

8.31.15 Assignment
http://growingleaders.com/blog/
The blog post written by Tim Elmore, the link can be found above, explains how interns can make the most of their time at their internship and make their mentors not regret the decision to take on the intern. He explained that interns needs to think of their internship as a twelve-week interview, just because we land the spot, doesn't mean we shouldn't continue trying our hardest. The four most admired qualities of an intern are teachability, initiative, responsibility, and energy. These four qualities lead to a good experience for both mentor and intern.
The way I am going to apply what I learned from this article is try to become someone who has all four of the admired qualities. I will do this by taking every assignment and putting 110% into the product, no matter how minuscule the task is. Now that I have this advice, I will walk into my mentorship every day keeping in mind that it is another day of an interview. I am going to make sure I put more effort into educating people as to how they can volunteer with Habitat for Humanity rather than just letting people know where I'm interning. I will make sure my main yearly assignment, keeping up with the business cards and brochures, is what I put most of my energy and focus into. I will also make sure that as soon as I finish one task, I am offering to do the next task.
The part of this article I felt is most relevant, is the statement that an internship is a twelve-week interview. For me, it will be a one-year interview. This is so relevant because due to my position, I will be attending all Habitat for Humanity events such as charity events, Rotary meetings, and any award ceremonies for staff members. So I will be meeting new people weekly that I can build a business relationship with. While I will be there to promote Habitat, I will also be promoting myself in the way that I present myself and the company and how I interact with high ranking members of society.
