The tasks I have been working on for my internship were making 3D models of game characters based on completed 2D pixel art. During the internship process, not only did I gain more knowledge of my professional skills, but I have also improved my personal development skills such as communication and time management.
When I first started the internship, I was nervous and wasn’t confident in my skills. My tasks are straightforward, but I had trouble envisioning/designing these models because there are a lot more details involved in 3D models than 2D pixel pictures. I am glad that my supervisor came to check on me often because I did not dare to ask for help. My supervisor told me it is normal to encounter problems in the workspace. Asking questions and communicating effectively with others can help you learn faster and improve productivity. I kept that in mind, and it works quite well. My colleagues are very friendly and were able to answer all my questions.
Time management is another area that I improved on. I consider myself to be a procrastinator, but I had to organize my time well for this semester because I am a lot of time-consuming classes as well as an internship. Therefore. To make sure I have enough time to excel in my classes and work, I made a schedule with daily tasks that I must accomplish. It was difficult to follow through with all the tasks that I assigned to myself every day in the beginning, but as time goes on, I find it quite satisfying when I can complete all the tasks. And it surely helped me stay on track with all the homework and work assignments.
