If you like working in a fast paced environment, the news industry is the place to be. Walking into the news field I had a few ideas of what to expect, as in working holidays, finding unique stories to cover and being inside a noisy news room. During my internship at WBRC FOX6 News, I learned how to operate multiple cameras and other equipment in the studio for different news segments. I was able to work with a variety of reporters, learn about their experience from being on camera and going out in the field to cover different stories. The most interesting thing I learned was that if a reporter is not able to make it back to the station in time to get their package made, they can use their laptop to edit their footage and still send it in

Internships are extraordinary opportunities to learn and grow. Internships are mostly designed to expand the depth and the breadth of the academic learning in the particular areas of the study. Internship is an opportunity to receive experience in applying all formulas, methods, theories in the classroom to specific experiences in the real world and to see how it actually works.

I did internship with Novogradac & Company LLP is a national certified public accounting and consulting firm with a major emphasis in the real estate sector. During my internship, I mainly audited property management company regrading cash account, accounts receivable, accounts payable, fixed assets, long term debts, revenue and expense account. Because Financial Report & Analysis I and II courses covered the accounting terms and journal entries in the last summer, I could complete assignments related to audits and journal entries. In addition, I prepared for balance sheets, income statements, statement of partners’ equity for partnership, direct and indirect cash flow statements for each rental property. I delivered required financial statements

During the fall semester of my junior year, my Aerospace Engineering teacher had a sign outside of his door about a program at NASA for high school juniors. Since I was interested in engineering, specifically Aerospace and NASA I decided to apply. So that night at the end of September I came home and filled out the application and wrote the essay and letters to my state representatives. I had told my parents at that point and they were excited and of course hoped I made it. I thought, “There are thousands applying and I won’t make it.”. Little did I know how wrong that thought was. When I received an email from NASA it stated Congratulations and that was when I was like: “WOW!”. I was shocked to say the least, but proud that I had made it into this prestigious program at NASA, that has now changed my life.

During both my internship and my pre-internship classroom experience, I have had students with suspected Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). One was in the process of being diagnosed with Alcohol Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder, the other was suspected to have partial Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Though both students were quite different, they did share some commonalities. Both had trouble with following directions and trouble with memory. I also had trouble reaching both in the classroom as they needed more individual instruction than I could give them. There were often times I felt like I was making no difference at all, which was devastating as a teacher. These students though the most challenging have made the most lasting impact

My confirmed dates of availability are from May 16th- August 22nd, and my preferred duration is that entire period (13 weeks). If granted and accepted an internship with the Manatee Research Program, there would be nothing that would prevent my ability to participate as an intern. Please note that these dates have changed to what was stated in my application, as my graduation date was moved up and I was accepted into graduate school starting in the fall.

to start in the month of December of 2015. Currently, the project is mainly concentrating

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

My internship at the Institute for LGBT Studies at the University of Arizona has been time well-spent this semester. Not only did I create valuable professional relationships and work in a real-world office setting, but I also was able to experience what it was like to work in a field related to my major. Every day at my internship I learned something new about LGBT studies and after work every day I felt satisfied and accomplished. This past semester I was also enrolled in Introduction to LGBT Studies with Professor Galarte, and I feel that course complimented my internship very well. The intersections between my internship and Introduction to LGBT Studies were often perfect, with the course material coinciding on a weekly basis with

My goals for the start for my internship were simple, but quickly evolved. My goals were to gain experience and build my resume, while bringing the lessons I have learnt in college, and using my skills as an engineer to help the department of public works. Now my goals have become more specific; I would like to learn more about sewer operations, I would like to develop my computing and design skills using the tools available to the Hydraulic section and I would like to mature as an engineering professional. While at the hydraulics section, I have access to programs like MUNSYS, as well as ArcGIS. As an intern, I update and maintain sewer related features on these programs. I would like to learn everything I can to develop my skills as a designer to help me become a better engineer.

Today was the first day of internship. I attended a new hire training secession about 8 hours and heard about the history of Novogradac & Company LLP, met the partners of the firm, completed all new hire paperwork and turned in to HR. In addition, I learned about ProSystem Engagement which company has been using for audit and tax preparation software. At the end of the day, all intern received a tour of office and met their own team members.
