The past four months work at the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care has been the greatest time of my life. I have learned many new things and a completely new language. I came into MOHLTC not knowing anything and really feeling like I was out of place and not suited for the position. Over the past four months I have thought my self how to code in WebFOCUS and the ins and outs of some of its features. I have also learned how to write technical, architectural, business and system documentation. The past months have been a great learning opportunity for me. I have also been involved in many meetings and it really feels as though the rest of the staff have come to treat me as one of their own. They all know that I am still very young, (21 is young when it comes to programming computer programs) but they have all been there themselves and are helping me along as much as they can.

I have also strengthened my use of SQL as I have had to do some SQL pass-through for some of the programs I was writing for a particular project. I was nice to get to know something better as I was forced to use it even though I did not know it that well. I still feel like there is so much more to learn but it will all come with time and there is only so much I can learn at one time before I start overloading myself.

I would just like to thank everyone on the HNS team that I have been apart of for the last 4 months. Thank you.
