Most of the projects I work on at my internship are collaborative. My supervisor would give me instructions on what to do and the dimensions I have to work with. One of the first projects I worked on was a breakfast menu board. I had a lot of text to work with and knew that tabs would help but I had forgotten how to use them so I ended up setting the document up with multiple text boxes. I also had line strokes instead of leaders to prices that were also in their own box.

It was embarrassing to have her see the file the way it was with all the boxes and have her ask why I set it up that way. It was a good leaning experience though as she told me it was alright and came to the computer I was using to show me how to use the tabs to make a cleaner and more organized document.

I learned that I shouldn’t be worried about speaking up if there’s something I don’t know or don’t remember how to do because I am learning and she was helping me to better myself. After being shown how to properly use tabs again I was able to fix the multiple box and leader issues. Things were unsuccessful at the start of the project because I didn’t communicate the problems I was having, because I was afraid of what my supervisor would say. After receiving her help the project was successful and I haven’t had a problem with aligning text after it.
