Greetings, refilling paper, delegating tasks… it was all just a blur. I can’t believe this is the end already. The semester rushed by way too quickly. It feels like just yesterday when I walked into the classroom and was nervous about everything. It felt like just yesterday that the job just started. With everything that I have learned from this internship, I feel like I am ready to take on the pressures of becoming a Senior Consultant. I feel like I am ready to become a leader, a mentor, and a friend to many new consultants. All of the “Next year.. when you become a senior consultant, you will…” will become true.
This week was another week of rushing to meet deadlines, final touches, and catching up. During the shadowing hours, Victoria discussed final procedures, and briefly went over what we learned over the semester. She gave me advice on how to become a better leader and to challenge myself. She taught me things that I would need to know when I become a senior consultant. She looked over my ePortfolio and told me about things that needed to be fixed. She taught me how to move my modules around and what would look better if it was placed in a different area. In the end, I feel very accomplished and I can’t wait to become a friendly face for many new consultants!
