First Two Weeks into internship!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My mentor she is a very hard working person she makes sure and me and Chamil are doing what we are suppose to do. The environment in my internship is salient because every one is doing they job and no one is playing around.
When I first arrived in my internship I thought was going to be hard because every one was doing a lot of computer working in Microsoft Excel and I didn’t know how to use that program and then my mentor teach me how to use it.
My first day was hard because I started to work I didn’t know what to do and the show me around the office and then my mentor teach me what I was suppose to do.
I hope to learn how to be more responsible and learn how to use Microsoft Excel better.
I have been checking the medicine to see is they expire and then written down in the chart of the donor.
