On Monday, I talked to my coworker and supervisor about the CSBG (Community

Service Block Grant) and EFSP (Emergency Food and Shelter Program) funding sources. I found

out that there are payments that can be paid using CSBG, EFSP, or both, depending on the

reason to the need and the amount of funds available from that funding source. On Tuesday, I

went with my supervisor and coworkers to the central office because they were having training

for EFSP (Emergency Food and Shelter Program). This training went over the summary of the

program and all the components needing when completing applications and payments when

using this funding sources. I also did a water application for a client and entered the client into

the system since they had never worked with the Ninth District before. I did not enter the

payment for that client as I was not sure what the payment would be given that the payments for

water are not the same as the payments for heating/cooling applications. On Wednesday, I was

given a LIHEAP (Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program) form to complete for a client.

After doing so, I entered the payment into the system before giving it to my supervisor to sign

and staple. A while later, I was given a client’s documents to complete a water application. After

filling out all the information for all of the necessary documents, I entered the payment into the

system and handed the all the documents plus the application to my coworker to sign. On

Thursday, I started the day by entering a case note into the system as I was asked to do so by my

supervisor. There was no task given to be to complete, so I began to type what I had done each

day of this week. An incident occurred before lunch where I was asked to leave the office,

therefore that was the completion of my day. On Friday, due to me being asked to leave

previously on Thursday, I was not able to come back on Friday, but I hope there is some place

that I can be placed to complete my internship.

This week, I have not had the best feelings. The week started off with me barely being

able to walk on my right foot due to a swollen toe just to end with me being asked to leave over

what I consider a misunderstanding. I am aware that there had been a previous intern that had

given the company a bad review in her evaluation, however, I have no ill feeling towards the

organization because what they do and stand for is great. It is important to aid low-income

individuals who truly need it. However, I understand that everyone does not think as I do, so

something I say may come off as negative, despite that not being my intention. I will not allow

for this to detour me from my goal, which is to finish this internship after all the hard work I

have put in over the past 3 years. If given the opportunity, I am going to continue my internship,

however I will not allow myself to get too comfortable. I can be a very funny person to be

around and would to be able to be that way around those I will spend my day with. However, I

do not feel like I am able to do that now nor do I feel comfortable doing so anymore. I hope to

push through the rest of the summer with my only focus being on finishing up my degree.
