An internship. My initial thought going into an internship with a huge company, Miller Electric, was that I will most likely be going around the office passing out coffees and delivering various papers for my manager. However, it was nothing like what I imagined at all.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My first day on may twenty third was a hailstorm of emotions. I was eager, excited, and hopeful. But at the same time terrified, nervous, and anxious. This is mostly to the fact that it was my first internship. But also because I wanted to make a great impression. I couldn\u2019t wait to see what kind of tasks and jobs they would have me do, or what a normal day at a company was like. We started off the day getting our id badges so we would have access to the building and various rooms we would need to be able to enter. The rest of the day was filled with speakers and presentations, learning about the company culture and core values. The speakers were all quite inspirational. Most of them also happened to be executives of the company. It was day one and all the interns got to meet and greet with executives of the company. It blew my mind.

The rest of the week followed a similar pattern. We would come in eat breakfast listen to more speakers and do fun activities that had to do with the company. The most notable and fun of the activities we were tasked split into groups and using Legos we had to design and sell our products to other tables. With the goal being to make the most profit for our little table of 4 interns. The task was both challenging and exhilarating. It taught and opened my eyes to how a construction and electrical company worked and how sometimes an opportunity for success really comes down to who you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All in all the first week was a blast and although it was sort of an orientation week to get us familiar with the company and what it would be like to work there. It was an unforgettable experience. I cannot wait to see what the next week will hold at Miller Electric Company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
