Journal Entry as an Intern - Assignment Example

I came back to work after taking two weeks off as I was too busy at that time. When I went back to the agency, I somehow felt strange. There was nothing much to do since there were no clients. I just went there anyway and whiled away my time at the donation center because we have an upcoming big sale this April. The agency needed to prepare and arrange everything, the clothes and all other stuff that were donated. I already knew what tasks to perform because of my prior experience days before so I did quicker in doing and finishing my work.

I got lucky and was able to get one for her. She was a bit friendly and talkative but I felt or sensed she was a weirdo somehow but thought it impolite to say so to her. I took a brief break and came back to the center at around five o’clock but I ended feeling scared of black clothes right now. Quite funny. Date of Entry: March 16, 2015 (8: p.m.) After I got home last week from work, I got sick and took two days off at the agency. Today, I am still sick but cannot afford to be absent anymore as I had been absent for a  number of days already.

I am extremely thankful to the supervisor for accepting my excuses for absences but I need to render some overtime to make up for previous absences. I went to the agency today but still weird regarding my encounter with that big fat lady last week who chose black clothes. I saw three other interns who later on left as they had rendered their time already. It is now only me who is left and I felt sad about it. Later, a male client went on looking for some male stuff and men’s clothes. I got everything he wanted in an hour as he was not difficult to deal with.

I went home and in the late afternoon, I came back to the donation center and saw it filled with many people who donated clothes and other stuff they no longer wanted to the agency. I was a bit happy that people are so generous despite the hard times and I was grateful for their charity. I stayed here until past midnight and I went home somehow happy, elated, and fulfilled. I am glad to have helped other people and somehow help reduce poverty (Van Nguyen-Marshall, 2008).
