The Fulton School
For the first few days into my senior project it has been what I had expected. I have been shadowing my boss (Steve Krueger) around seeing what he does in his field of Building Engineer. Steve makes sure that throughout the day the residents are happy and that the machinery and staff are working properly. I have also shadowed Steve’s maintenance crew (Jeff and Fred). They do whatever Steve tells them and they take care of calls from residents like if their A.C doesn’t work anymore they go out and fix it, and if they can’t they call Steve who will go up to the home and help. Throughout these three days I have, helped Jeff and Fred on the pool deck by carrying pool lounge chairs and replacing the bathroom toilet valves and faucets, been to two work meetings, manually switched the chillers on the roof, changed batteries on grills, fixing the cooling tower on the roof so it stopped overflowing, fixed leak in water heater, and I have checked on residents and helped them get into their storage units. I would say that the worst part so far is waking up at 5:30 every morning.

I am very impressed that you were able to get so much done already. I am excited to see how much you get done over the internship.
Normal time for waking up is 5:30 as an adult get used to it. Good job hanging in there though keep it up!
After shadowing Steve as the boss and then the employees underneath him, which position do you think you would prefer?
I would prefer to be in Steve’s position only because of all the work the employees do for him. But to be in Steve’s position is really hard with all of the paperwork he has to do.
