What are you grateful for? What experiences this summer are you grateful for? Discuss at least one thing from CLASS and one thing from your INTERNSHIP. Think about what might be different as a result of how you spent the last 5 weeks, and express gratitude for it.
Internship: I am extremely grateful that I was able to meet the amazing people who have become my friends through my internship. They have each taught me different things that I never knew - both about myself and about the world. I will never forget some of the people I had the opportunity to meet.
I am also grateful for the chance to interview so many experts in their fields and become more comfortable with the interviewing process. It was also cool to produce three radio stories because it's something I've never even considered doing.
Class: I really solidified my goals and plans for my immediate future through this class, and I think that if I hadn't taken it, I would still be questioning how to move forward. It was also useful to learn about finances, since this is not taught in school.
You're lucky that you met so many people at your internship; mine only had four — two adults and two interns. At least I was able to meet people at the class. Were you at Earthscope?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on making so many new connections! Hopefully you can use them as future references. At my internship I wasn't able to meet very many people.
ReplyDeleteAs another intern at Earthscope, I also never imagined that I would be creating radio stories. Even so, the experience was very valuable and made me value reporting, even from my perspective as a future science-major. Reporting news is essential to keeping the public informed and I feel that even though we may not have a large audience base, we gained perspective and valuable skills.
ReplyDeleteI have similar thoughts to you - Earthscope was a great internship and I'm really grateful to have made friends through it. And it was great learning more about how to plan for the future. Good thoughts!
