Internships play a big role in a person’s college journey. According to Brigham Young University (BYU) “an internship is a perfect way to put into practice what you’ve learned in the classroom while trying out different areas of the statistics job world” (2015). In other words, internships help you learn by experience giving students the opportunity to discover if that career is really for them or not. Unfortunately, most degrees don’t require students to get an internship until their senior…

challenging and will push you to your limits; one that will set me up for a future for caring and understanding of others needs. My senior year in high school was when I began to think about what career was best for me so I decided to apply for an internship program where only fifteen…

An internship with a political party is an invaluable experience for a student, regardless of whether or not they want to pursue a career in politics. It gives those involved the opportunity to use new skills, create a network of similarly minded people, and get training in real-life situations. The tasks that were given on a daily basis where foreign to me prior to my time working for the Democratic Party. There was a multitude of different tasks, all varying in the type of skills required.…

afraid to work on the men’s unit, I got over that quick. I think the patients where more afraid of me then I was of them. My profession calls for more than a discharge plan; I learned that early in the internship. My first day of working at the agency, I knew that some of the patients did not have a stable and loving environment. I started working on a plan to build a healthy relationship of trust so all the patients will open up enough to trust what I was trying my intentions and not shut down…

Staff at Green Bay City Hall. I worked this job until the middle of February. This was probably my favorite internship because I was assigned to do so many different tasks and assignments. I had done some things for the city where I could see the end result and things I did were brought in at a couple of city council meetings. Dr. David Helpap originally told me to apply for the internship at City Hall. He gave me the right information and I went in for an interview with Mayor Jim Schmitt…

what I was doing with the social media sites and any questions I had on the phone system even if I was scared to talk to them. Today, that has changed. I now go to lunch everyday with the two ladies and we frequently see each other outside of my internship as well. As I grew closer to them, it was a lot easier to read their nonverbals and I quickly realized from learning in class, the closer you are to someone the more you understand their nonverbals. Even more, I have realized it is a lot…
