My internship has shown me how different school is from actual worklife. I think the biggest thing that is different is the vagueness of the directions given to you when you have a task or project. People will tell me to do something simple, like writing a blog post for the website, and usually at school teachers will give you a rubric with specific requirements for the blog posts and what it should talk about. At Atos, they leave it simply at "Write a blog post."
Knowing these differences will help me in school because I will know how to be more self-sufficient and not depend on my teachers to show me exactly what to do. My work was meaningful to my education because I got to experience many different parts of careers so I can see how they work and what I like the best. It was also beneficial to me because it has given me a very relaxed version of work experience so I won't be completely overwhelmed when I actually start working.

transitioning from a school environment to a work place does seem like it would be difficult. Its great that you are able to work through this and be mature.
