What I will bring back from internship into the classroom is the professionalism. An actual workspace is such a different environment compared to the classroom environment, so I would be more on task because there is less space to slack off and mess around since its real life and its just not a good look to be messing around etc. Also more communication skills, you have to be more professional and have to communicate with your mentors if you are running late or for some reason you cant show up. So I think I have gotten better with communicating. Lastly what I would bring forward from internship is hard work. With cars you cant slack off and do an alright job, any little mistake or just rushed job will be noticed and its not a good look for you and the company so I think going forward my work ethic and overall just drive will improve.

My Internship project will be to work and fix up a truck. The truck is missing a bumper and the right hand mirror is also black in which the whole truck is white, I will need to prepare both the bumper and the mirror. So I will need sand them down, fill the dents and scratches on the bumper and around the car with putty and stuff like that. How I will complete these tasks with the things I have been taught is since ive been shadowing my mentor, ive gone through all the steps to complete the task at hand and will have a lot of support when needed. This will help the organization by having one less car in the shop, which means another opportunity for another car to come in and them being able to make more money.
