With three-ish weeks left, I’m starting to feel the pinch. Now, not only do I need to finish my project, but I need to prepare for the symposium as well. So between designing the survey tools, trying to analyze the data, starting on the report, starting on the poster, and trying to do so with …
Hello all, So just when I thought I was finished with my project, my supervisor said “Hey can you do this for english too!” I have already reduced the states content curriculum requirements for science and social studies, grades 2-8 into something I writer can easily access and base lesson plans off of. Now she …
I was super excited to be working from home and now I will be back in the office (sad face). BUT the good news is that this time I will not have to sit in the waiting room in a hard plastic chair facing the wall! I will be sitting in the office managers chair …
So, usually I am in the office everyday for 8 hours at the same desk, in the same chair, facing the wall. This is horrifyingly uncomfortable and boring to say the least. I have very bad hip problems which results in my legs falling asleep or being numb every hour. It is truly painful. So …
“I am on a vacation,” was my mentality as I traveled with my director, Nate, and my co-worker, Alan, to Beaver Island for a four-days company’s first ever retreat.

Last weekend, Amber and I visited the DIA because, shockingly, I hadn’t been there in years. It’s difficult realizing all of the things I have missed out on just because of my peers’ prejudices surrounding Detroit. I guess the positive way to view that is, at least I’m experiencing it now! One thing that I really …
I finally know what it’s like to have strangers slam a door in my face. Well, okay, it only happened a few times, and it wasn’t really a slam as me getting two words out and the residents backing very quickly into their homes with, “We’re really not interested,” and a quick closing-and-locking maneuver. This …
I had never realized until working at one, that non-profits are not the well-oiled machines that corporations are. One could argue that the work that they do is much more valuable from a social standpoint, but moving information and coordinating with people outside of the organization is proving to be more and more difficult as …
Project 1 for me was our annul health fair. Myself and another intern had been preparing for this for about 4 weeks. I couldn’t wait to see how it was going to turnout. Everything that could have possibly gone wrong, went wrong!! I came into the office at 7 a.m. (real dedication) and I was …
