Everyday I would arrive early and prepare for at least 4 full-body massages, which included stretching with fellow interns.
I would proceed to prepare for the day by doing the following:
Organize the necessary paper-work for scheduled appointments and prepare my massage table and work station.
Adjust lights and music to set therapeutic setting.
Greet clients who enter and and situate them with corresponding therapist.
Use filing systems to retrieve records, if repeat client.
Organize intake forms and cash out clients.
Introduce myself to client and go over intake form.
Ground myself and prepare for full hour massage mindful of contraindications.
Chart subjective portion of S.O.A.P chart.
Observe posture, tender points and sensitivity while massaging, continually transferring healing energy to the client.
Conclude massage and review assessment of observations and create plan for client to follow to continue the healing process at home.
Finalize the SOAP chart.
Walk the client to the office and wish them a good day.

I learned the inner-workings of office duties at a clinic and learned how to manage various tasks orderly and effectively.
The most tedious part of the job was the laundry at the end of the day.
My fellow interns were very enjoyable to work with and our teachers were very helpful during any situation.
The most enjoyable part of the job was seeing peace and happiness restored in the client after the massage was over.

After completing training for a week, the actual Project DREAM initiative started at various EPCC campuses. A typical day included proctoring the students to make sure they were completing their work, as well as helping them whenever they needed it. The instructor would teach them the lesson for the day, then they would complete their assignments and ask questions whenever needed, 
All the other peer mentors were equally as successful in college as myself and made learning the teaching aspect that much more fun. The instructors I dealt with had a deep command of their respective subjects and were a pleasure to work with.
The hardest part of the job to me was being able to explain the material in a way that the students would understand, since it was mostly exit level high school material and not something one in college would typically need to remember. 
The most enjoyable part of the job was watching the students get that epiphany moment when something they did not understand at the beginning of the program became apparent and fully understood.

I enjoyed working here very much!  Academic Computing Services is a good place to intern at if your particularly worried about your school schedule.  

Since I was studying IT, they had me helping the students, faculty and other patrons of EPCC in the ACS computer labs.  I was mostly assisting them with simple things like logging into the computer or logging into a certain site.  At other times, I was helping them with homework that involved stuff like MS Word, Excel and Access.  I also had to help out with basic maintenance of the lab, such as refilling printers.  

The labs' supervisors were very friendly and flexible to your schedule.  Co-workers were also very friendly and helpful.  

There isn't much that was very hard about the job.  There are some slow days (depending on what lab your assigned to), but other than that, it's mostly a laid back atmosphere.  

The thing I enjoyed most about this job was seeing a happy patron after helping them.  It's always nice to be needed and seen as helpful.

Tutoring is a great way to meet new and interesting people. While working at the Writing Center at El Paso Community College, I received he opportunity to work with students and strengthen my own academic skills.  I often helped students brainstorm ideas and prepare to organize and complete writing assignments. I also edited completed assignments for errors in formatting, organization, spelling, punctuation, and grammar.  I got along extremely well with the students, my co-workers, and my supervisor. Working as a tutor was a rewarding experience and probably one of the best jobs I have ever had.

As educators, we have the ability to develop, adapt, and use our own teaching style, syllabus, assignments, media, technology, etc to prepare the students for their future goals in their personal and professional lives.  Many of the students come into the college system with low skill levels, and once they graduate, most of the students have acquired a variety of skills:  communicate both verbally and written;  think critically; problem-solving; research various topics & write papers; time management; organization; computer literacy; internet literacy; knowledge acquisition & application; vocational skills.
After graduation, most of the students move on to a 4-yr college for more academic study, or they move into employment.

As an assistant softball coach, I was responsible for recruiting, strenghtening, and conditioning the athletes. During my time at the school, I learned how to recruit athletes and maintain composure when encountering different personality traits. Management at the college was extremely supportive and made the culture enjoyable. The most difficult part of my position was the budgeting constraints that were placed on recruiting. Many recruiting expenses were out-of-pocket. The most rewarding part of my position with the college was being able to witness the wonderful transformation of students when they are able to achieve their dreams and become so much more than they ever though was possible.

Working for EPCC was a great experience. We created a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere in our Pre-Calculus tutoring lab, and I believe that is what led to its popularity. Dealing with math courses is daunting enough as it is, one shouldn't ever feel nervous when getting help with it. And that's where we came in.
 
I worked with a number of incredible faculty members who were always ready to help if I ever got stuck trying to explain a particular math problem. They were supportive of each other and the staff.

The culture they've created at EPCC made going to work something to look forward to, and for that I was grateful.

An evening job that involved older adults. This was a unique, one of a kind and a heavenly position.  Talking to them I was able to learn from them as much as I was able to teach them.  Their life experiences, their knowledge and their desire to better themselves was amazing.  Due to the fact that this is a Community College, management was very easy to understand, we did our job and that made them happy.  Since I was part time and working only evenings I was not able to grow long lasting friendships.  The hardest part of my job was the end of the semesters, each and every semester was special to me.  I enjoyed working with adults more than with kids.
