This is from our second stop at Seaberry Farms.
We saw all the different flowers and different kinds of bouquet materials   

I have learned quite a few things about myself during this internship. I am not the biggest fan of working with graphs and organizing statistics is not something I enjoy. However, I have learned more about working in an office setting and using different systems. I have a chance to see and learn about different career paths in agriculture and this internship has provided me with the chance to narrow down what path I want to pursue.

I went on a Horticulture Tour with my mentor Emily.
This picture is from our first stop.

I have learned I work best when given directions with a clear objective and good communication. I work well in a team or on my own providing there is clear communication and directive. Some things that I have started using to help reduce stress are when I leave the office I do not think about any of the projects I am working on. This is something I learned from one of the Weekly Connections and it is something that I have a habit of doing. I spend too much time worrying about things that I can’t control and it adds to the stress. I am working on getting better at it and the presentation helped me realize that I need to start minimizing how much time I think about something if I am getting nowhere.
