During the first week of my new internship, there was a lot to unpack. Both figuratively and literally. When I arrived on the first day to Security First Insurance, I was nervous and was not sure of what to expect. They welcomed all of the interns with open arms and loving smiles that said “we want you to be here.”

We sat down in a conference room and they showed us a presentation, fed us, let us do personality activities with each other and then our managers came to get us. My manager showed me my desk and told me to decorated it anyway I want.

The second day we got professional headshots taken and I talked cameras and editing with the photographers who ended up working in the same department as me.

In the middle of the week we have our anchor day meetings with all the interns. We were told we would make a project together to give back to the community. We can pick a charity or organization and decide how we want to move from there. It is very open ended.

Later in the week, we made a Canva slide to display on the tv’s in the office. It was just a simple “all about me” slide, so the workers could get to know some fun facts about us, what we study, etc. It was the first creative thing I did as I await more information on the big project that I will be working on with the other interns all summer.
