My Intern Experience

It 's so cold today. I sit on a suitcase packed for me, Norah. I am from a small town in Ireland called Cobh, and I live there with my mother, father and little sister. Glenn is my older brother, three years older than me. Oh, and I 'm sixteen. I guess you could call this feeling anxiety, but it really is more than that. It feels like I 'll never come home, and I 'll never see mother and father again. Everyone says (well, if you can call the newspaper editor and his wife everyone) that America is "paved with gold" and that "endless opportunities" await anyone who goes. But the stories I

After working with multiple campaigns this summer, my personal and professional growth in the field of political science has increased significantly. The opportunities that have come to fruition through my time and commitment to these individuals running for political office have changed my outlook on the political process. It takes a lot of groundwork to efficiently connect with voters, even in a state that is perceived to vote in one direction. After researching multiple perspectives and salient points, it is clear that there is no substitute for the internship experience when it comes to first hand knowledge of any type of work.

This internship was one that really opened my eye and to getting me out of South Carolina for a year. It’s something that I would be really scared about, but I also would be really excited to see what Chicago, Illinois has in store for me. The LifeStyle Physical Therapy and Balance Center is located in Chicago, Illinois on 1330 Lincoln North Avenue. This place is within walking distance to all major public transportations. Within this intern, I would have major responsibilities such as listed on the website: observing patients, secure patients into and out of therapy equipment, transport patients to and from treatments, record treatment given and equipment used, clean and organize work area, perform clerical duties, maintain working equipment

This report summarizes my overall experience thus far at Grand Valley State University (GVSU), including my most recent internship experience. It will discuss how each experience that I have gone through has helped prepare me for my transition from life as a student to the professional world.

In the beginning of my sophomore year of college, I became passionate about public policy. Knowing that just my education was not going to suffice with the aggressive job market directly after school, I found myself being challenged to look for a position in my field for that summer. Recommendations from family friends led me to apply for Senator Rob Portman’s prestigious internship in Washington, D.C. The internship was a reach – as I was competing with some of the top students in my state. My hard work dedication paid off: a couple of months later the office of Senator Rob Portman extended an invitation for me to join their team that summer. I ventured to the District of Columbia with two main goals: first, to discover my intended career path; and second, to try to understand the language of government, since it will be relevant to my career.

James Joyce wrote Dubliners during the 20th century. As Joyce wrote Dubliners, he probably intended on telling what Ireland was like at the time that he wrote it. He uses many different themes in this book. He specifically uses the themes of light and dark and autonomy and responsibility to illustrate what life in Ireland is like. The stories that use these themes are “An Encounter”, “The Boarding House”, and “The Dead”. Each story contains the themes of light/autonomy representing freedom and dark/responsibility representing duty.

That we were going to Dublin, was not our biggest wish, but the fact that we could travel and have some quality time together was very great. The week before going to Dublin something sad happened. Our English teacher who we should have travelled with, was involved in an accident. That meant that we first of all were very sorry about our teacher’s situation. But we did also wonder if

I did my internship in Murray, Kentucky. It is a small town located in the south of the country, and 20th largest city in Kentucky. It is 7 km away from the north border of Tennessee and surrounded by cities Mayfield and Paducah. According to the census of 2015 city was19, 000, and it is part of Callaway County. The city has a diverse racial population: White 88.16%, African American 6.80%, Native American 0.21%, Asian 2.75%, Pacific Islander 0.02%, Other Races 0.68% and the city has a diverse population of international students from more than 60 countries. City's economy is mostly dependent on the university students' activities and population.

My first-year placement was in Case Management/Discharge Planning at a for profit hospital, Johnston Willis. What was I going to learn? How would theories learned in class translate almost exclusively to discharge planning? Wasn’t that just getting people out of the hospital and no proper clinical therapy would be involved? I felt the theories I was learning were for individual or group therapies, not for “treating and streeting”. How was I going to learn anything clinical or help therapeutically with patients? How would I serve patients will while being pressured from administration to make sure length of stay would remain low thus maximizing profits? Well, I was in for a great awakening.

Chris told me everything about his firm and his lifestyle there. I work in a financial advising firm that specializes in comprehensive financial planning for their clients. I majored in finance at New York University because I wanted to make a lot of money, and why not make a lot of money for others on the way. I am at my current job because of an internship I did in the summer before my senior year. It was my first internship in finance because I really did not know what I wanted to do in the field. Some of my friends wanted to be investment bankers or go into corporate finance, but that industry did not seem to interest me as much as it did for them. During my junior year, I interviewed for Merrill Lynch, and secured the internship. The summer was great and I was given an offer to return full-time as an analyst.

This summer I worked as an intern for a company called Saint Laurent Wealth Management in Houston, Texas. This company provides a wide variety of financial services that focus on providing strategic investment and financial advice specialized to each client’s needs or desires. They work with a range of different clients such as individuals, families, business owners, physicians, and institutions. For each new client, the company will provide a complimentary present position analysis to determine where they are financially and how they may improve. From there, they will consult the client by providing financial guidance in all areas of life and work to develop a financial plan. As I observed the company during my time there, I noticed that

We talked for hours, went through a pack of cigarettes, entertained a group of drunken dancers and ended the night with a toast to our good fortune of meeting. The next morning I awoke with the bravery of a lion. I showered and put on my walking shoes, I was attacking Dublin with a tourist mindset. Walking along St. Stephens green and Trinity College was like walking through a time warp. Everything was beautiful and clean. The people ever so friendly, giving directions and taking pictures without fear that they would steal your camera. I had fallen in love with Dublin in less than a day.

I grew up in Dublin in the 1970s. To understand how that shaped the person I am today, you have to understand something about Ireland at that time. It has been said by

FINAL INTERNSHIP REPORT Internship in Sustainable Development Period: June through August 2011 Personnummer: 19840413-5389 September 9 2011 Author: Clara Ruiz INTRODUCTION The following report describes the activities carried out during a 12week, full-time internship at the INTER-AMERICAN CEMENT FEDERATION FICEM-APCAC.

Timber is the biggest in volume among stuff in landfill, with the proportion of 14% of the total waste (Statistic New Zealand, 2008). Recently, Palmerston North City Council (2012) stated the proportion of timber waste slightly decrease into 13% in 2012 (PNCC, 2012). From recycling perspective, timber is considered as “partially recoverable” waste, since the untreated timber can be reused directly, while the treated timber is such a problem due to the chemical it contains (PNCC, 2012). According to PNCC (2012), the number of potentially recovered timber is 2,834
