Post # 6

     For the ten weeks of my internship I worked in my very own school. International High School @ Lafayette. In this building I assisted the technician.








Every day I would first begin my day  at work here at the technicians office, here I would receive my instructions to do all kinds of different task around our school building.




In my time in internship I learned about the school's server, an how it works , also I learned how to replace an image on Mac computers.





Other responsibilities on my internship where to organise and track our equipment such as cameras, calculators, computers, printers, speakers, cables and much more.
In this room is where we kept most of our equipment, I spent a lot of time in this room, going in and out to get equipment for teachers and staff that were needed.


I also provide help on the office when it was busy, moving the new orders, putting together the orders. helping with office task such as letters, and storage. Also It was one of my favorite places to stay when I needed to wait for my job to be available.

I enjoyed coming to work every day, and to have my co-worker Bryan, a student Brooklyn International High School, our sister school. It was fun working along him, we learned, helped, and worked great with each other.
