Before starting the internship I had to plan ahead some key points as to my purpose, the goals I wanted to accomplish, what I had to do before the internship, and what I had to do during.
My Purpose:
The purpose of my internship is to be an active worker in the section of marketing for Metropolis. I want to take advantage of this opportunity to explore the section of marketing and analyze if this is what I want to pursue when I graduate. Because I will be working in the social media of the company through advertising them, and one of my projects being the creation of a Facebook page, I want to deeply understand the concept of advertisement and the different ways there are to do it.
My Goals:
1. Learn what you must have to successfully market your company. In other words, be able to analyze the different marketing strategies there are within a company. | 2. Understand the working atmosphere of marketing and the projects they are in charge of, in order to identify if I want to pursue marketing as a career when I graduate from school. | 3. Understand the concept of advertisement and the different ways that exist nowadays. In other words, I want to find out: how social media is used to benefit the company. |

Schedule:
- Have the same schedule every day
- Start at 9:00 (that’s when the office opens)
- Finish at 3:00 (need to be at school at 3:30 for basketball practices)
- Work on any lunch schedules or even any breaks
I'm really excited about the internship and I can't wait to start. Even though it might be really scary because it is the first time I actually work for a real company, at the same time it is a great opportunity to be exposed to the "real world" and experience what older people do everyday. I'm not only excited because of the opportunity to work, but after researching about Metropolis I was really impressed by the projects they've done and what there vision is.
