Hi, my name is Kaizer Gorraiz, I am a 2021 pinhead intern and my internship is a business and finance internship. I am staying in Columbus Ohio with the Stotlar family. I am interning with Doug Stotlar.
I flew into Columbus on Monday the 19th of July. It took a pretty long time to get into Columbus because my flight was delayed then we sat for 2 hours on the plane before taking off because of very strong winds. Eventually, I made it to Columbus and to Doug’s house after about 6 hours of sleep I had to wake up and get ready because Doug was letting me sit in on one of his meetings. The meeting was with the CEO of Ready Ice, an ice production and distribution company, it was a really great way to start my internship. After the meeting, Doug and I went over terms that were used that I didn’t know. He had been writing them down throughout the meeting so we could discuss them afterward. It was a great first look into the business portion of my internship. Over the next couple of days, we used Ready Ice as an example to understand other concepts. Doug has been showing me a lot of things on the business side this week and we are making our way into the finance portion next week.
Outside of the internship, I have learned a lot as well. I learning how to play golf. I played my first 9 holes of golf my second day in Ohio and I have done something golf-related every day since. On Thursday the 22nd we hit 150 golf balls at the driving range and I learned the proper form and how your hip plays a big role in the whole swing. Besides golf, we swim a lot in their pool and go fishing as well. We have a really good balance of working and playing. They also have the CUTEST cat I’ve ever seen in my whole life. His name is Jasper. He is huge and loves cuddles. He likes to sleep by my feet sometimes.
So far I have already learned so much and it hasn’t even been a whole week! I am super excited for the rest of my internship and I am so grateful for this opportunity.
