Reflection

Well as I began to look for my WLE I was really hoping and had very high expectations for one place that one place was the Zeum. I was really hoping to work in a place that works with people and gets to work with art and technology. But as I got deeper into the search I had to work on a place that meets the requirements. So later I ended up getting an internship with a school to work with their kindergarten division. But due to a misunderstanding I was screwed out of that WLE.
So I decided to keep my head up and focus on the Zeum. The process for that started out really good but I never got a call back and I decided it was to late and to far into the week and I realized that it was not possible. So at a certain point I knew I had to keep looking, my options very open and kept looking. I ended up looking at places like Thrasher Magazine, The Academy of Science and even Orphanage studios. Most of this place never got back to me so I was in piss creek without a paddle.
Through constant days of searching and whining I ended up finding an internship with Noel Benoza who is Cat’s I.T. I felt working with him would be a fall back on internship that I could go to if nothing else worked. I never thought I wouldn’t get an internship in my desired places. But later I realized that working with
Wow I just received greatest of great news. KC is on the phone with the Zeum and so far it sounds like I got the internship with the Zeum. Wow I am so happy a little advice for the 11th grade has more patience and be confidant. I am really hoping that I will get to work with the exhibits and the people. So over all what ever work I receive I will do it with a smile on my face. So yeah stay happy and be patient
