I am grateful for the people that helped me make this internship a possibility. Nothing like this had ever been done at Toys for Bob and it was a great experience. I am grateful that I got to experience the somewhat hectic and exciting time of game development right before the release of the game. I am also grateful that I got to learn about and set up a LinkedIn profile which I know is something I need to have for the future. Because of my experience over the last 5 weeks I now have a more direct vision of my goals and the steps I need to take to complete them. I learned a lot about my personality through the waybook and various tests we took that I may not have known otherwise. I used to spend most of my money impulsively but I know look at purchases in how they affect my goals. Over the course of my internship I become more professional in the way I deal with supervisors and more literate in the skills I have with things like excel in my internship. Reflecting on my discoveries made me think more about what I want with my life and what goals I have. Learning how to set up a Google site has also been interesting as I haven't set up a site like that before and it could be a useful skill. To get an internship at a video game company was an unreal opportunity that I am very blessed to have. I don't think very many game companies would be willing to do something like this or take on a high school intern.
