I’m still in school to become a DA (I have two months left until my graduation), and I feel so horrible everytime I mess up. For context, a week or two ago we just finished up our prevention clients, and overall it went really well! I got a lot of good advice and feedback from my professors, and thought I did everything correctly.
It is now the week of my second practicum, and I just got a message from the reception lady that we work with at the school asking if I was still in town. I said no, because I was at home where my practicum was taking place, and asked if she needed anything.
She messaged back saying my ledger was a disaster and that I was messing up her monthly balancing, and now I feel horrible.
I’ve always been pretty bad at being in reception, it’s definitely an area I need to work on, and I remember putting in the codes with my professor beside me incase I did anything incorrectly. This is why this message caught me so off guard, as I had help the whole way.
I plan on meeting with her next week when I am back in town to talk about what went wrong and learn from my mistake, but I can’t help but be extremely embarrassed with myself.
I love everything I have learned so far, and I love the clinical aspect, but I just can’t seem to get a grasp on reception and I fear that’s going to be my downfall in this career. Any advice on reception and to not feel as bad as I do right now?
