Today was a busy day for me. I had to do so much work that i had headaches.What i basically did was reacherching different community websites and trying to find ethnic news to put into our weekly publication. It wasn't easy finding these websites and it required a lot concentration. Some of these websites did'nt even have the news we wanted, so i had to call their companies and ask them to send us their news by email.It was a hard day for me, but i'm glad i made it.

Today,I helped Juana(my mentor)make researches about the other media communities and contacted them. We mostly worked on the "Tri-State Muslim Newspapers". What we were trying to do was to get as many communities as we can to join our online media publication.As soon as i finished these researches, i helped Ka(my internship coordinator)make phone calls regarding the "Immigration and Crime Reporting Fellowship Application".Then at 3:30pm,we went to an event at the Manhattan Borough.Even though my time was over, i decided to do some over time and go to the event, only because they invited me.

Today, was a great day for me.I made a public communication about our new event that's coming up tomorrow. What i basically did was to call several people on the phone and tell them what the event was going to be about.In fact,the event is going to be about"the Announcement of public Leaders".A lot of College students(from different backgrounds)will be awarded by the Manhattan Borough Community President.Anyway, that wasn't the only work i did.I also sent a couple of invitation letters(in the Spanish version) by fax and answered a few calls.I was busy the whole time, but i liked it.It wasn't easy talking to people on the phone,but i was happy because it helped me practice my communication skills.

I compiled New Paltz reflections and edited them.Then,i printed these reflections with the help of my true friend Katrina(She had a day-off today; so she decided to help me finish my work). When we finished Mr Sean's work, we helped Ms Emily on her International News letter. I wrote a reflection about the Philadelphia & the New Paltz Trips; and i send it to her so she can proofread. Katrina was a lot helpful, because she helped me edit my reflection. She also helped Mr Sean cut some papers and made a poster on the New Paltz College Visit.

i Didn't work on monday, because, i'm tranfering to another internship. But i did do something interesting. Since i had nothing else to do, i decided to go visit my friend's internship site(Oumou's), which is the African services. It was fun, because, i had the chance to see what all the professionals were doing there, including hers. I was kind of a little bored because i was just sitting there, not doing anything and watching what she was doing; but it was a lot worth it.

Trip To New Paltz
The Trip to New Paltz gave us an idea about how college life really looks like. It was a lot worth it because we actually had the chance to meet with some college students and ask them questions about their experiences. The interesting part of the whole trip was "the college tour". We visited the college dorms, library, and even their gym club. Honestly, this was more than what I expected. I was glad to join the trip because I knew I was going to learn a lot from it; and I really felt bad for those who didn't go. I wish everybody was there to see it for themselves. There is a proverb that says " rather go and see it for yourself, than letting people tell you about it".

Third Week Assignment
Describe one significant activity or project that you have completed or are working on currently.
Recently, I've been working on receiving emails from the NYU Cancer Institute faculty members, and recording their informations into the computer.Then, I printed every single thing I recorded. After that, I had to put their papers in piles organizing them in an alphabetic order. Basically, it was the same as all other weeks, but a little bit harder because, I had to do too many things at the same time, and I was only working with the informations I gathered from the faculty members, instead of patients'. Actually, I've been doing a lot of work that were combined into a project because, they were all related to each other. That wasn't the only work I did this week. I also analyzed the servey responses given by patients, helped make suggestions and wrote the responses down, so my co-worker can check and record them into the computer(NB: it was her job to do that; I was just helping her finish it up). This project was a little bit hard because, I didn't have enough time to do it. I only had two days to do it( Monday and Wednesday) because, I didn't go to work on Tuesday( I had to go to New Paltz) nor on Thursday. I stayed at school on Thursday, and helped Mr Sean print out some transcripts for the parents' meeting. It was fun, and I enjoyed it.
