Work Experience at Comics Youth
By Milo
DAY 1
Hi! Comics youth work experience guy Milo here.
Before the work experience I was very anxious to be doing it. I mean it’s the first time I've been in a work place, so before I always thought it was a strange and mystical world of ‘paperwork’ and ‘big suits’. I was worried that I wouldn’t fit into a new environment like this and wouldn’t be able to work in a team. And then I thought ‘what if I'm asked tons of questions I can’t answer?’ or ‘what if I made a really big bad mistake that was IRREDEEMABLE?!’
Luckily it’s nothing like that, it’s just my worst possible situation brain alarm going off. I’ve already been treated super nicely with a tour around the building, and I’ve been helping a bit too. If I didn't know the answer to something, that's okay! And if things didn’t turn out well when I tried it, everybody makes mistakes! And this was only my first day. So if you’re worried about something similar, just give it a go, it won’t hurt! Here’s an over exaggerated comic about my worries, enjoy!
DAY 2
Hello! Comics youth work experience guy milo here, again!
It’s my second day here and there are a lot more people. But it's okay! On my way there I was worried a lot about if I would be too overwhelmed by the amount of people in the room. I was also worried about whether I would be left alone. My super negative brain was trying everything to stop me from ringing the doorbell.
But I did and I talked with some great people and learnt some valuable information. Also, I'd be left alone if I asked and I felt comfortable sitting and working in the same room! Here's another overexaggerated comic about a talk I had, enjoy!
DAY 3
Bonjour! Comics youth work experience guy Milo here, once again!
Today was a quiet day, because I didn’t do much. So why don’t I review a book instead! Here's a little shelf talker about ‘mind over margins empowerment edition’.
5/5
Every story is creatively driven by the writer's thoughts and insecurities allowing every story to feel personal.
A brilliant read which brings you inside the brain of the youth.
DAY 4
Ello! Comics youth work experience guy Milo here, for the last time!
Today isn’t my last day but tomorrow is small press day so I won’t be able to make part five. Luckily I can talk about all my thoughts for tomorrow here! It’s going to be a little busy so I'm worrying my head off thinking about it because it might be too stuffy because of the heat or I might embarrass myself somehow.
I’m sure it’ll be fine though and I’m still looking forward to it and playing some games. Thanks for reading, whoever's reading, because it means a lot! Bye! - Milo (or the comics youth work experience guy milo) (or the cywegm)
