In this picture, it shows part of a project that I’m doing for my internship. My particular project consists of making “fruit cards” for various schools that my mentor and I will be going to, to give presentations about the nutritious values fruits and vegetables have on the human body. On the fruit and vegetable cards, the title is the name of the actual fruit or vegetable, then there's the color of the fruit, the family the fruit belongs to, how to prepare the fruit, when and where the fruit is harvested, a fun fact about that fruit, and then the fruit's name in which is located at the bottom of the cards. In this specific picture, it includes the details that are needed to be known about the banana so that the kids can have a better sense of how to prepare of the types of fruits and vegetables that they enjoy
eating.

In this picture, its me posing while separating two days worth of physical activity cards. There was a big number of them just waiting to be separated from the plastic containers they originally came in and waiting to be put into their sleeves. These are cards that have different types of exercises that people could do to keep in shape. They explain how to do the stretches through pictures and it tells readers the part of the body the stretch will work on. After the cards are put in their sleeves then they are given out to different families at events that are hosted my the Network for a Healthy California, which is the company I intern for. Once my intern partners were done separating the various cards, there were twelve boxes full of
fitness cards.

Taking place here is a collaboration of most of the people that work at the office discussing what they've done individually to let the public know what is necessary to keep nutrition in their homes and beyond. This is a meeting that the people of the company have every second Tuesday of each month. Its a way for the director to check in with the rest of the workers to make sure their job is getting done on time and none of them are slacking off. These meetings last about two and half hours because every one talks about what they've done individually. Each of the employees has a time set for them on a schedule that is made by an employee. There's also set time for questions the workers might have for the director and a chance for the director gets to speak to each one of them, by telling them what they need to work on and the materials that are necessary for their next meeting.

Following in the tradition of setting aside time for going away parties, all the workers gather together for a surprise going away party for one of their co-workers. Every time someone has a birthday or anything big happens that is worth celebrating, the company assigns people to bring different foods for a pot-luck type lunch. Here you can see various dishes that each of them have brought in so that they can enjoy a tasty lunch. As you can see they're very excited to start eating because its not often that these nutritionist eat these types of food.

In this image, is my mentor, Larissa, at the front desk of the office, posing. She is holding a plant that we used to decorate the front desk to make it look more welcoming and colorful since it was drab and boring looking before. As you can see in her eyes, she was very excited about this mini project of hers. Larissa is not a serious person. She's the type of person that will transform serious things into fun projects so that people are better able to remember what is being taught to them. Without her presence at the office, there would be less laughter and work would get done but just not in a fun productive manner.
