A San Miguel Education

At my internship at San Miguel School, I'm taking advantage of the opportunity I've been given to do many different activities. I can't express enough how much I enjoy working here. I support the cause of this non-profit, to provide 6th-8th grade education for underprivileged Latino boys, but what gets me out of bed in the morning is the people with whom I get to work. This includes Laura, even though we are constantly around each other. They make the best combination of supporters and teachers, as well as occasional comics. It's a very positive atmosphere, and the boys and their parents are inspiring. My boss is great- he’s a down-to-earth person, who is easy to talk to and offers good advice. (He graduated from the MSBA program, as well). I’ve learned a lot from him since I began interning here in May. He is also very generous with the work that he allows us to do. We get to undertake important projects that require a variety of skills. As interns, we have gotten exposer to event planning, database usage, marketing, and demographic research. He also plans to let us assist him with the audit process this year. Not surprising to most of you, but I’m actually excited about the audits… As interns, we also do tedious and miscellaneous tasks. It’s easy to stay engaged in this job because there is always something new to look forward to. I can honestly say that I hope I will have this kind of enthusiasm about the other jobs in my future.
