Everyone in the office is EXTREMELY outgoing and helpful. Even if they are in the middle of something, they will drop it to help someone in need. They are also all really positive and funny. They play pranks on each other, and keep the overall atmosphere happy and fun. I would really like to be more outgoing in my life so I can help out others in need. I would really like to know the different amount of schooling it takes to get into each pay-grade. I want to go on my own time to visit different colleges and find out what I really love and want to do.

My contribution to the workplace was a series of guides that show how to do certain tasks I did during my time here. These guides can be kept by HOA for any new members to read and that new employee will be able to easily accomplish these tasks. My work included multiple things: Talking to clients, writing violation reports, and creating tutorials. By doing these things, I was able to actually influence people in the outside world, by helping the

I actually didn't go into this project wanting to go to an HOA so this entire thing was pretty surprising and unexpected. I wanted to go to an engineering firm but I had a blast here at HOA Business Solutions. Although this isn't the career choice I want for myself, my mentor, Donna told me that this is a perfect example of motivation for me to do something I love. I never really thought about my situation that way, so this internship backs up my strive to do really well in high school and college. I definitely have learned about hard work and putting in 8 hours a day, and through that I really want to do something I love; like engineering. 

Ever since day one, I have been required to mail out letters, file away checks, and organize everyone's paperwork in the office. If I stayed quiet and didn't talk to other people in the office about my problems that I was having; then I would end up getting nothing done and probably get fired from my internship. Another way that I have been a self-advocate is through offering to help people when I notice that they are stressed out or worried about something. If I see someone struggling with something, I'll offer my help. Whether it be carrying things to their car or just helping them with some paperwork. I really think that I am doing a great job here and really feel welcome around the office. All of the workers are really chill and I love hearing them talk amongst themselves about gossip with clients and that sort of thing.
