My first week at my job was something new for me; it changed how I see myself as a Youth Designer. I learned a lot in only a week. I was given tasks that challenged and pushed me to do better every day. I learned how to work with Indesign and Photoshop much more successfully than the first day I was introduced to them. I was surprised to discover that I was assigned my own desk, computer, phone and privacy. I had to get used to everyone being in his or her cubical. My previous work environment was much more interactive, a bit louder, ranged in age groups and had more diversity. But I jumped over that bridge and realized that every work place is different and I would have to adapt. Now, I’m more comfortable. I have privacy and feel like what I am doing is important. The expectations for my work at Girls Scouts are high and I like it because I feel busier and independent. I was looking forward to seeing the Girl Scouts but they are at camp now. I also wanted to see how they produce the cookies. But it’s fine; hopefully soon I can come across a Girl Scout because I’ve never actually met one in my life.
