Today I was sending letters then making copies. Later I was working a little bit in my homework... same as always... *_*

**Midpoint Reflection Questions**

*Well, my internship for me is good, at least better than the 1st week, and it was the same as my expectation because when I went there I though that I would learn more about law, which is why I wanted this internship.
* Something similar between the school environment and my workplace is that both deal with Youth. Some new skills that I have learned were; how the court work(how to file the cases of a court), but basically we do things like making copies and sending applications and more.
* My relationship with my mentor and co-workers is good, I try to be good with everybody in the office, I do what I have to do when my mentor tell me to do it.
* Some challenges at the internship are that sometimes I don't understand the hand writing of some of them so I have to look at the letters very careful, making copies and listen to cases doesn't have a lot of challenges.
* Some challenges in the school are the homeworks because when I go to my internship I get home very late and I don't have enough time to do all my HWs but sometimes I stay awake until almost 2 am trying to do them, and then I have to wake up very early to get to school on time, but I try my best to do them because other wise I will put my grade very low and this is something that I don't want.
* I will like to learn more about law and also justice system this is all until now.
* I have learned more about how police work in NYC and how different are the laws in different states, also I learned some more about Youth Justice.
