Personal Narrative: My Internship In Laguardia Community College

706 Words3 Pages

I was doing my internship in LaGuardia Community College. LaGuardia Community College is one of the many two year institutions that is part of CUNY, New York City’s Public Colleges. CUNY is a public university system that offers an affordable, well-rounded college education. My job title is Lab Tech and I was stationed in the B-building. I was working directly under Mercedes Acosta who is the supervisor of the Lab Techs in Math Engineering and Computer Science (MECS) department at LaGuardia Community College.
My first responsibility was to maintain the labs. This meant updating the machines with any software upgrades and shutting them down at night. My second responsibility is to help both professors and students with networking issues. If they couldn 't connect to the internet or needed to set up something in the LaGuardia network, it …show more content…

The most valuable was brushing up and finally mastering all my technical skill I have been honing since Fall 2014. It feels as if every class I had taken had culminated into this internship. I also received valuable experience and taken notes of them during my internship. These records will be extremely valuable for any future certifications I plan to go for such as the CCNA Security exam I hope to take next year. The gift of knowledge can only be rivaled by the other gifts I received that will forward my career. I received a dream spark account which gives access to useful software from Microsoft such as Visual Studio for C++, SQL Server, Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 Pro, among many others. I also got the valuable gift of Cisco IOS files. These files allow me to replicate all the projects I did during the internship and in Professor Walter 's Computer Networking Class. I wished there was more time to learn new things during the internship. The six weeks went through fast and with three other classes in between, I did manage to get the most I could from

    Upon arriving to Miami Dade College, you will never imagine all the resources offered to students to succeed during their scholastic years. I’ve been lucky enough to been advised by some of the best staff at their Interamerican campus. From their advisement office to their profoundly knowledgeable professors. As a current student of ENC1102, we were required to attend one section with a tutor at the writing center. I always thought I had sufficient knowledge of the English language and taking time out of my busy schedule to attend a section with a tutor was absurd.

This led me to make much more meaning of my experiences and utilize them to help others. I walked my group of freshmen through a series of activities and I tied those activities with real life scenarios so that I better prepared them for their upcoming journey.

  • Personal Narrative: My Trip To NYU

    I was ten years old when I first heard about NYU. I needed braces, and my medicaid insurance required my mother take me to NYU’s College of Dentistry to determine if I was eligible for them. I remember the first appointment vividly, for until that appointment my mother, as a single parent, rarely had the time to take me anywhere outside of our poor working class neighborhood of Corona, Queens, let alone into Manhattan. Stepping out of the train at 23rd St, had felt like stepping out onto a whole new planet. I remember at school, my teachers had always talked about about how lucky we were to live in a great city like NYC, but it wasn’t until that moment that I understood what they meant.

    While I do not consider it a failure now at the time I was definitely frustrated with myself and considered it a failure. When I had to repeat my junior year I was mad at myself for not be able to complete the school year. As time went on I was able to focus on the positives in the situation and I was able to finally accept that I was not prepared for my senior year both emotionally and academically considering I missed so much school. If I did continue on to senior year I would not have been close to prepared as I am now for college. I ended up repeating my junior year due to the fact that I missed close to two-thirds of school due to a medical condition.
