When my supervisor Handi Qawasmi asked me last week to
write an article about my internship at CHF
International so she can post it on the CHF's blog I had no idea what to
write about. Instead of dwelling on it I decided to write what I know for sure,
what I learned interning at CHF's office in Ramallah.
Being punctual is important and it means that you respect
others, also you'll be avoiding that weird look of the people's in the office.
Dressing up in the morning is difficult when going to your
fist job or internship, on my first day I spent an hour and a half trying to
figure out what to wear. Which is not the most important thing in the world
when compared to my ability to create and achieve but to my new fresh
inexperienced mind this was a vip.
The only thing that helped me survive the long hours of
work on translating dozens of pages was the fact that I had good coworkers a
the office who made it real easy most of the time.
do things on time and don't delay even though I still do
sometimes, but it is important and yes I know we all heard it and our parents and
teachers told us
Team work helps , it's a cliché but it does. Brain storming
does it especially if you are stuck on the last
few pages or on one term or two, the team then helped greatly.
Read and try to get to know your work and organization
before you got there and actually start.
Put a work plan ahead of time and stick to it.
Working on green building is amazing, there is that great
feeling of accomplishment and sense of responsibility towards nature and my own
home land. The more information I got on the comic book I was working on and
the green building topics the more crazy about the environment I got, I used to
go home and test everything I learned in my home and family which only drove
them even more crazy than normal.
After 5 month of interning at chf
I can say that I am glad and lucky to be there it was truly an amazing
opportunity for me to grow and learn, practice. And so much more...
