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.
