Self-Evaluation

What strengths did you bring to your mentorship/internship?

The strengths I believe I brought to my mentorship was the knowledge gained from my MBA program plus real-life experience.I also brought the fact that even though this experience was not one that I would have seen myself doing I am always willing to learn and gain from this experience.

2. What were your major weaknesses? What personal qualities could you have improved during your experience?

One of my biggest weaknesses was my public speaking. One of the aspects of the internship that contributed to my personal growth was my communication skills. I've always struggled with communication, and I had to do it a lot during my internship. My communication skills have improved significantly by making phone calls, sending emails, and communicating with other trainers.
3. Do you feel you adequately satisfied the duties expected of you by the sponsoring organization? Why or why not?

Yes, I believe that I satisfied the duties that Giorgio presented me. He challenged me throughout the internship time with various responsibilities. I also got the opportunity to build a personal relationship through this experience with all the coaches and athlets.

4. Do you feel you adequately satisfied the time requirements (150/200 clock hours) of the internship?

Yes

5. What helpful suggestions would you make to future interns/mentees in your position?

Take the step outside your comfort zone in the long run you will appreciate it more than if you don't take the jump. Time management is a huge thing. I know we always hear this with opportunities like these but honestly time is one of the hardest things to manage sometimes.

6. What did you gain from your experience? How will this experience help you when you leave Tiffin University?

I have gained many things from this experience. I have expanded my knowledge from the course materials. Learned to balance both my own course load along with my responsibilities that I was given from Giorgio during the internship. Effective communication and adaptability were key in addressing diverse learning styles. The experience enhanced my own knowledge and provided invaluable insights into the teaching-learning process.

7. What overall grade do you feel you earned through your mentorship/internship experience? Justify your response.

I give myself a B+ not because I felt I did not deserve an A but because I like to believe there is always room for improvement. There were aspects of the internship that I would love to go back to and change how I handled certain things. Also, if there is no room for improvement, I am perfect, which I am not. Some mistakes were made, which not all were of my doing but mistakes nonetheless.
