Reflection

I am currently writing this almost 2 weeks after I wrapped up my internship at the Los Angeles Kings sales and service department. Looking back, although a bit cynical, I tend to think about all that I hoped to learn but never got the chance to. However, as I reflect on the experience more and more, I've become a bit more optimistic regarding all that I took away from my time at those offices this summer. This opportunity was no ordinary circumstance, and I was incredibly grateful to even of had the chance to work for a professional sports team. In reality, I shouldn't have gone in there with such sizable expectations. I was still only 19 years old with little knowledge or experience in the areas of sales or office work. But, it was a stepping stone. And as cheesy as it sounds, it's true. Over the course of the summer, I was introduced to the workings of spreadsheets, sales calls, boss/employee relationships, and much more. So, after absorbing all these helpful resources and experiences, I've realized I have no reason to complain about all the tedious and stale work of an intern, but rather to appreciate it.
