Journal Entries Week 2: #1

Yesterday was a holiday here at Colombia, so I had some free time to share with my family and friends. Besides having an enriching working experience, I’m being able to see those who are so far away from me.
Part A: Learn about the ONAC (Colombian Organization of Accreditation) and the whole procedure needed for the authentication of the Laboratory


Part B: My job here is becoming more intense as days go by. People here now know me and treat me not only as a coworker but also as a friend. My responsibilities and boss expectations are much higher than before. I’ve been told to analyze the process of authentication for the Laboratory. This is a very complex and extensive process in which several requisites need to be met.

My boss always tells me about the importance of this project and the positive impact it could have for the whole organization. My main purpose is to learn carefully about this accreditation and create an initial stage for this process. At the end of this week I would have to present to my boss and the manager of the division of packaging, my point of view about the project and how it would benefit the lab and the company.
This project becomes into the most important task I’ve been assigned in my entire professional career. I understand how important this accreditation could be for the company. I really like this challenge although I would have to work really hard figuring out where would be the best part to start. From what I read today, I acknowledge how tedious this process is. My boss has been working for the approval of this project for more than 4 years.


Challenges like this are the ones that really make me feel a professional. Working here really makes me feel competitive and learn beyond a classroom.
