Work Experience Day 5- Banking Basics

Today was another great day at the Polanco law firm! I spent today doing many of the same things I had spent my time doing the rest of the week. I filed papers, made copies, and entered data. It was a lot of fun because I was really getting the hang of it, I knew better strategies to find files and began to be able to do all of these things faster! However, today was a little bit different than most days. I learned that every once in a while the firm has a representative from BB&T come to their office and talk to them about financing tips. I got to sit in on one of her classes while she taught us all about credit and how to use it responsibly. She told us about the benefits of using a bank, how to save effectively, and what types of credit accounts are available for individuals to use. The class focused equally on how businesses should manage their finances and on tips for individuals. It also came with a work book that me and all members of the firm filled out. Overall, it was extremely interesting and I enjoyed learning a little bit more about money management. It reminded me that law firm’s are a type of corporation and have to manage money effectively on top of all their other duties.  The rest of the day I continued data entry and I talked more to some of the interns about law school. They told me about how there were opportunities to study abroad in law school, I found this extremely interesting. One of them is planning on going to study abroad in England this summer! Overall, it was another extremely productive and interesting day at the firm.
