Yesterday, I asked Glenn if could call the venues rather than looking up their information online. I realized that my strength is being a people person instead of aimlessly trying to decipher website layouts. This was after I sat in on one of PAC Arts’ meetings, where Glenn told the best thing I can do in a professional environment is to have a communication with my coworkers. So did just that and now I have a bunch of phone calls to make. Another instance of self advocacy, on my part, was when I was taking notes on a film called Chan is Missing. Originally, I had to review this film but I felt like I couldn't critique because I didn't fully understand it, so I voiced this to Glenn. He let me write program notes for this film instead of struggling to craft a review. Through the course of my externship I realize that sometimes it's better to communicate with your boss and to advocate for a compromise rather than aimlessly banging your head against the wall. I advocated for this selfie
