Our internship has a program called the intern community service challenge (ICSC) in which teams nationwide compete against each other to see who can raise the most money and give the largest impact in an act of charity. I competed on my office's national team and we took children to the zoo, donated books to them and their families and also raised a lot of money. We found out this week that our team had won an all expenses paid trip to New Orleans to help refurbish homes that had been hurt in Katrina, and also to promote childhood literacy by reading to children!
After my three days in Mountain View I was back in the office in SF where it seemed crisis had struck. Every one was very busy and I was given a project to finish before I had to leave work early that afternoon. After crunching down and finishing my project I rushed off with the other interns down to Pier 3. We spent the evening eating, socializing and kareoke-ing on a boat that circled the bay. It was a great and fun event.
The last day of the work week was spent giving presentations to our office on what each of our community service teams had done. Then after that we all traveled to Ella Hill
Hutch elementary. There we sat and watched their talent show and interacted with the children.
One of the most key things I learned this week that will benefit my career are EXCEL Formatting tips!!
