Goals Mastered

According to my first post, I set four goals:

• Establish the Student Leadership Board (SLB)
• Maximize TRIO Devils
• Learn about grant writing
• Create a tutor/coach model

I have completed three of my goals. In the beginning of my internship, I read ASU TRIO Downtown-SSS' grant with the U.S. Dept. of Education and learned from Sylvia, the program director, about how grants should be written. The Student Leadership Board had its first meeting this week and we have six members on the board. Four members are current students and two are recent alums. TRIO Devils is planning for the fall semester and I am treasurer of the organization. I am still creating a coach/tutor model, but I am almost half way there. I will continue my internship till the first two weeks of August.

I believe I have mastered my goals and I'm on my way to mastering the last goal. My internship would not have been a success if I did not have great supervisors who really wanted me to learn and grow from this experience. I was able to accomplish a lot because I was guided on how to do certain tasks, but also given the freedom to accomplish each task in my own way. I am really glad I interned at ASU TRIO Downtown-SSS.
