Personal Narrative: My Boeing Internship
The first week of my Boeing Internship is a busy one. I have attended two of the three Marriot Boeing events. It was an incredible experience. I took fond of the stories of important Boeing employees’ mistakes. I also found interest in the poster session—specifically the augmented reality device.
As the weeks went on, I have attended the Satellite 101 Training, met an astronaut, took a tour around the Boeing campus, took a tour around the Chemistry Laboratory at Huntington Beach and many more activities. When asked the question of what I found interesting during my time here at Boeing, I would say, “Everything was interesting to me.”
The EPC and Process and Tools meeting, the tedious work in burning down documents, the frustration of having
numbers not adding up and stress that audit can place on my co-worker and even myself are all something I do not regret experiencing. I have work experience and volunteer experience before this Boeing internship. I was treated like a child—a baby just brought into the new world. I have to say they are nothing like what I experienced these past three months. At Boeing, I had to face hardship. The internship has given me failure to learn from, resistance to fight and goal to work for.
I have learned several lessons these past three months. I learned how to do a burn down plan, burst a prompt and manage information through excel. One thing, however, that has been holding me back is my grammar. I always had a problem with my writing skills. During elementary school and middle school, I have been placed in remedial English and never passed. There were several times I could have gotten a 4.0, but did not because I got a C in English. To be honest I do not know why I have such a huge problem with my writing. I had worked incredibly hard at improving my English and writing skill. I devoted myself to read an article every day. I had written stories and am writing a story right now. I even took elective college classes to improve my writing skills. Therefore I have decided to get a personal teacher to help me with my writing skills. This is going on for far too long. I already have a teacher in mind and I will hire him when I have the time.
