| dc.description.abstract | Look, I’m not saying I didn’t enjoy myself. I did. I’m not saying that I don’t value the experience. I do. However, even after fitting this internship to my exact needs, or what I thought they were, I’ve discovered that I want to do something entirely different. I planned my summer with the thought that it would help me reach three goals; to combine my passion for horses with my need for a job, to build my own media marketing firm and to complete my degree one semester early. Two of those goals have changed, care to guess which? I’m not saying I didn’t learn anything. I learned plenty. I learned enough about myself to realize that I need something different. You can make your internship work for you, even in ways you would never imagine. | |
| dc.description.panabstract | We need to talk. It was a great summer, full of passion, excitement, and love. We’re just not right for each other. Each of the panelists found an internship for the summer that excited their passions and connected to their dreams for the future. From advocating for the rights of Indigenous Peoples, to working on constituent and legislative issues with a State Representative, from counseling teenagers in Korea to building a media presence for a local business, each panelist found a way to test the waters of pursuing our passions in our future careers. However, after working in these fields, each panelist discovered a different way of approaching their passion, a way that will make them feel less distant from the important issues and the people involved, and will fulfill and connect to their passions in new, more effective, ways. They enjoyed their internships, they learned a lot from them, but ultimately want to follow different paths in life. | |
