Zoey Deng

Hey guys! My name is Zoey and in here I'll be taking you on a ride with some things I did in the Digital Media Marketing Internship. Digital Media Marketing Summer Opportunity taught me a lot about how to be much more independent when working, and how to better work as a team, with including communication, during work time, having us plan our own projects and work and adapting them, and having us to have our own time management, but getting the work done in time. It’s my second year being in this internship, and last year I learned more about how to manage a social media account, and this year I learned more about creating websites and ways to use it to help others.

My pandemic life

How my life changed since March 2020 till now

When the pandemic first started in March 2020 I thought it would just be a short period of time, so I thought of it as a break. But when 3 months passed by, things got harder for me since I was so used to just being outside and doing whatever for many years. I used to barely text my friends since I would be able to see them the next day anyways, but friendship fell with nearly everyone since the pandemic lasted longer than expected. When everything was starting to fall, I was starting to lose myself and did not enjoy anything. It was my first time experiencing not having anyone to rely or talk to, and it was just myself. Coming from a toxic household, it threw me deeper where the word happiness seemed to not exist anymore. Things were just getting worse and worse, and so I decided to just distance myself from everyone. It was the toughest time of my life, but after a year of being in quarantine, I started getting so used to just being independent that it started to feel normal. Quarantine had let me find a different me that I’d never imagined I’d ever be, and now in 2021 I feel like myself finally, no longer keeping up with trends and trying to fit myself into spaces that I did not belong in. Realizing that I don’t really need friends and can cut people off no matter how nice and helpful a person can be. I used to not be able to survive without having friends or something to hang out with, and now I enjoy time with only myself and I feel really healthy and happy in a mental way. With not having to be afraid to shut doors in people’s faces. It was a huge transformation in myself, but I did it for my own goods. With a clearer mind and health, I now can see who’s worth by my side and who I really need by my side. Don’t have to worry about pleasing anyone, and just living who I want to be without caring. Finding myself was my biggest accomplishment over the pandemic.

Ideas I want to keep exploring beyond this summer opportunity

If I have another opportunity, I want to learn about how to advertise products like a marketing business person, since it seems to be a really difficult thing to do and learn about. I think advertising is a really fun thing to have as a skill and to learn in general.

Advice I would give to incoming student about Oakland High

Oakland High School is a very welcoming and informative space to be in. Good grades equals a better future! :)
