Workplace Evaluation
How was my overall performance and how did I contribute to the ongoing work being conducted?
You did an excellent job of contributing to the Mother Against Drunk Driving effort, although there were restrictions on the type of work you were permitted to complete. As a result of you completing the surveys, Mothers Against Drunk Driving is now able to add updated statistics for the number of drunk driving incidents in the state of Ohio. Eventually, the statistics collected in the Columbus office will be combined in the national statistics as well in future seminars and brochures.
What growth (intellectual, professional, and personal) did you see during my internship?
Intellectual growth is evident as you are now more aware of the tragic drunk driving cases, like Dalynaca Watrous. Although Dalynaca's case made it to the Ohio Supreme Court, the case did not receive much notoriety to the general public. During your internship, I see your interest in knowing about cases similar to Dalynaca's and hope to have sparked your interest in other cases reported by Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
What words of advice do you have that might help me continue to grow?
The only advice I have to give is to continue your efforts of being educated of the current events in the world. To be specific, issues similar to drunk driving awareness need to be addressed in society instead of just being reported in a small section of the newspaper.
