Week of November 7th

My internship site has been a significantly valuable partner to my education as my mentor has been supportive throughout the college application process and has given me guidance towards my future. It is helping to prepare me for the workforce, and is giving me the resources to get there. I feel it has also given me a competitive edge by giving me real world experience in teaching me how to balance lots of school, work, and other activities. In addition, it has provided me with a new challenge, and has helped me strive to better myself and excel.


In my time at my internship, I have met my goal in helping some of the middle school teams qualify for the VEX Robotics State Championship. These kids will have an awesome opportunity to go compete against teams and students from around the state and go for the gold. I like to think that my internship has allowed me to help get them there. I have learned new skills with not only teaching, but leadership and technical skills. In addition, my experience has been so positive that it has made me consider a career in Career Tech education. As of right now, my plan is to seek a degree in mechanical engineering, work in the field for a while, and then come back to be an engineering teacher or professor.
