The Pandemic was awful for me and everybody else I knew. I could go on and on about the isolation, inability to do most things outside the house, and always making sure I kept my distance from others whenever I left the house. However, there was one thing that would change my life for the better, and it was something I wouldn't have thought possible. Chegg reached out to me. Chegg, once again, was looking for Summer Internships and was wondering if I would be interested in starting a third internship with them. I knew that because of the Pandemic, the workspace would be my home instead of Chegg's offices, and everything would be over Zoom and online. Regardless of those barriers, I accepted their offer and was thrilled to start "Round III" of a Chegg Internship.

As mentioned in the previous paragraph, the third internship was going to present many new challenges than my previous two internships. The main reason for this was because the entirety of the Summer 2020 Internship would be taking place over Zoom. I would either be freelancing on my own (mostly working on presentations in Google Drive), or I would be in Zoom meetings with my manager, co-workers, and others at Chegg. I had decided not to attend the University of Denver during the Spring Quarter, as I despised working remotely and was not a fan of going to Zoom classes. In order to do well at my third internship at Chegg, I had to clear my mind of my hatred for Zoom and prepare to use it religiously in order to succeed for both myself and my team. I knew it would not be easy. However, I knew I could do so if it meant I could work at Chegg once more.
