Instead, I was tasked with assisting the convention director with the tasks leading up to the convention. As I settled into the internship the tasks quickly evolved in to a variety of tasks that covered a large number of aspects in the business world. In the beginning of the internship, it felt like I had to prove myself to the management involved, but as the internship moved on, I believe I gained more trust with the faculty and I began to get tasks associated directly with management. There was an onsite representative in New Orleans that was in charge of finding community service opportunities that members could participate in the buildup to convention. I was tasked with setting up the time and dates for an emergency kit assembly project for Save the Children and helping paint two rooms at a local culinary school for at-risk teens, called Café Hope.

What I thought I knew about writing wasn't anything compared to what I have learned throughout these last four weeks.

Never mistake a single mistake with a final mistake”- F. Scott Fitzgerald. When it comes to writing I have never really been good at it I have always needed a little extra help on writing a good essay. I remember always having trouble especially now that essays are expected to be excellent. I never understood the importance of writing an essay until I took INRW.

I have learned the different methods for business writing, such as resume and interview tips, proof reading for 30 minutes or so, and the different forms of correspondence writing.

My father, a small town pharmacist, and my mother, a child behavioral psychologist, each had a fundamental empathy and compassion for aiding others. Through them I witnessed, and became inspired, by the ever complicated relationship dynamics of total patient care. I realized my father didn’t just fill prescriptions as the local “Walmart Pharmacist” and my mother didn’t just convene and listen to individual’s dialogue about their personal issues. Instead, the interactions they both faced with each of their respective patients carried a multiplex of red tape, claim denials, write offs, prolonged consults, bureaucracy, and confusing medical terminology from beginning to end. Yet, somehow they both managed to offer the care, sympathy, and willingness to assist anyone and everyone who required it within our small community.

As I reflect more on my childhood years and the complexity of my family as it goes back generations I have come to better understand myself. Consequently, there are a number of personal and professional implications from these reflections. The personal implications have been the most difficult to work through, and many have only come to the surface through working on keeping a healthy marriage with my wife Megan and in raising our daughter together. The first implication, is the need to live out something different than what was model to me growing up. This analysis has helped me realize that most of the relationships that I was a part of, or witnessed growing up, were filled with anxiety.
