Fourth Week

My internship is a magazin center where we write newspaper magazin that come out every six week. There is a director, who represent the magazin to the press and help with publicity. There are the editors (my mentor included) the editors revise the stories written and suggest changes, they make sure everything is perfect. There are the photographers, adults that take picture to use in the magazin. There are the writers/drawers who write stories and illustrate a drawing for the stories.
The neighborhood of my intership is nice and enthousiastic. Ther are a lot of store, hotels, tall buildings,cars, people... It's at 34st. More specifically 29st.
It takes me at least an hour to go to my internship. During the fourth week of my internship, I was 30 minutes late because there was a fire at Wall street. I stay on the 2 train in Atlantic Ave for 30 minutes. It was a track fire.
My mentor is a very nice women, with a very low voice, very sweet and sensitive. So far at my intership, I've wrote to stories that will come in the next magazin in june and i made a crosswork puzzle for the febuaru nmagazin.
I live school at 11: 45 and I take the train at 11:55, I arrive at my site at 1:00

My second week. (keeping record of my work)

In order to keep record of what I do at my site, I always print 2 copies of any thing I print. It is easier for me because I have stories to write. Every time I print a draft, I save it on the computer so she could revise later and maybe make some corrections. My mentor always come up with some improvements that I can make, for the next day.

My first week

My first week good and calm. My mentor is a women, she's very nice and sweet. During my first day I did nothing but get to know every body in there, get to know my environment. I was given a computer to work. When I first arrived I thought that I would have a lot of pressure on me because I have to write many article for a news magasine and there were deadlines. But I was wrong, I was at ease, I could write about whatever I want, I also have plenty of time because the Magazine come out every.
6 weeks. The goal of my internship is to write at least one story so we could put in the Magazine " New Youth Connection"( a magazine written by teen and for teens). I hope I would improve my writing skills while working there, so when I go to college writing would be easier to me. So far, I have been brainstorming story to write about and I have already stated to write 2.
