When it comes to the people around me in my internship, they each have their own unique qualities that I would want to further develop in myself. Starting off with Eulalia, I think one of her strongest qualities is that she doesn’t let stepbacks in the workplace keep her from pushing forward. I noticed she had some results in her experiment that she wasn’t hoping for but she didn’t let that stopped her and she continued her testing. Frank, another lab member, is really great at being thorough and organized. He always makes sure to have all his ingredients, supplies and instructions set up with him when he’s preparing to start a PCR. He also makes sure to clearly explain all the steps in the process and even uses analogies so I can better understand. Shannon is extremely dedicated to her work, even staying after hours to perform surgeries on mice and making calls to secure different ingredients for the lab. Paige has really good time management as she has to handle both working in the lab and college classes at the same time. Jennifer is mindful of the fact that a lot of what I’m learning is challenging so she does her best to offer help understanding any of the information on the reading packets we receive. Adriana really goes the extra mile, accompanying me and Ernesto to make sure we receive all of our identification and access cards. Last but not least Sasha, he’s had a lot of patience and understanding when it comes to me filling out paperwork and completing interviews and project discussions with him. All of the staff members each present their own unique qualities that I want to strive to develop in myself as they are all useful in creating an inviting and helpful future work environment. I am and will be for a while, a developing adolescent who still has so much more to learn from the world. The way I do that best is by observing the people around me and I’ve been so lucky to have the opportunity to work with such amazing people. Although none of what they work on is simple or easy, they all push through and keep trying their best because that essentially is their job. Testing out theories and failing over and over until you get it right. I can only admire their perseverance and do my best to follow in their footsteps so that I may hopefully one day be to a child what they are to me, an inspiration.
