I have already been working for two full month at block institute and has been a really nice experience. I obviously have a very different idea of the place before I started to work there. The job has been easier than what I expected. The similarities between my job at Block and the culture of IHSL are that both provide education and a save place for human and the difference is that block institute is a school for people with mental disabilities.
Working at block institute I have learned some important computer skills like how to merge hundreds of letters that were to going to be sent out for each of the customers. I also scan and file important documents and many other little things on Microsoft word that are going to be really helpful on the future. The relationship that I have with Emerson, my mentor, and his co-workers, is just acceptable. We only talk about the projects that he assigns me and nothing us. I also have learned about how to interact with adult better because I think I’m the younger working there. I think my English has improved a little bit more because the people that work around me use a very professional English which I’m learning with them. What other kinds of skills/abilities have you gained so far? Think of the tasks you do and consider the abilities required to do those tasks. By working at Block Institute I have not faced any challenges because I always try my best to make it easy.
What I most want to accomplish is to learn all that I can from my mentor and all the people there.
