The internship started off in the month of September with my reading of Pennsylvania: A History of the Commonwealth written by Randall Miller and William Pencak. This book gave me a background in the history of Pennsylvania, from early Native Americans through the twentieth century. In addition, it discussed the many approaches of historiography taken toward the subject, thereby exposing me to many options. In the month of October, I was allowed to research any topic that I was considering to choose as the focus of my internship’s project. The topics I considered were John Dickinson’s arguments during the American Revolutionary era by studying his Letters, the debates about the Constitution that took place over Pennsylvania’s ratification of it during the Pennsylvania Ratifying Convention, Thomas Paine and the impact of Philadelphia on him to produce Common Sense and also any impact he had on the city, the work of Benjamin Rush and Benjamin Franklin Bache as viewed from his newspaper (of course, this was the topic I ended up choosing). In the month of November, I concentrated on my chosen topic, and researched many sources, both primary and secondary. Much of that time was spent reading eight years of Aurora (which was printed 6 days a week) on microfilm. Finally, by December, I was in the final stage of research and was delving into …show more content…
It was nice to have the autonomy of choosing what time of day I put in my required hours. Outside of the time digitizing with Preservation (which was also scheduled-well), I could put in my research hours anytime I wished – morning, day or night. It was certainly good to meet every two weeks with Professor Jones in order to update him on my progress and receive any help I wished. He was also available to meet more frequently during the end of the semester, when communicating often was important. He was excellent in his assistance and guidance through his availability and
In Revolutionary Summer, Joseph Ellis attempts to display the importance of the summer of 1776 in a narrative form. In doing this, Ellis must balance his knowledge as a modern-day historian with his desire to ensure that the reader sees the narrative as it was in that time period. In his presentation of facts throughout Revolutionary Summer, Ellis recognizes that hindsight can be both a powerful historian tool to provide context as well as a negative mindset that can skew the true facts of the time. Therefore, he uses hindsight only in order to provide context and importance for certain actions, and, similarly to a textbook, strives to present the facts as they were at the time, without any modern perspective. However, Ellis’s writing
For my internship, I decided to work at Waddell Mariculture Center in Bluffton. It is part of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and is one of the largest and most sophisticated facilities for mariculture studies. I was able to experiment and learn about many interesting facets of aquaculture over the 10 hours of working there. At this particular facility, they grow and research all kinds of aquatic species of fish and shrimp. Waddell was built during the years of 1983 and 1984. For the past 30 years Waddell has worked with a variety of different species of fish including Red Drum, Cobia, Black Drum, Spotted Sea Trout, and many more species. I chose to do my internship for a couple of reasons one reason was that my dad
In “Letter Sent from Philadelphia”, I particularly reveled in the fact that the politicians were only serving for the good of the community for a year’s period and then return home to tend to their personal affairs. William Penn and the twelve justices would be a sight for our country in these desperate times of career politicians. It intrigued me that Germantown had their own separate court system than that of Philadelphia. The local inhabitants of Germantown had no real interaction, except for some trade with the native Americans, because William Penn had paid them a sum of money to resettle outside of the Germantown area.
My motivation is to be part of moving the U.S. government into the 21st century. The 115th Congress will face many challenges shaping U.S. technology policies and regulations. As a Congressional Innovation Intern, I will improve my capacity to effect change by applying my technology and policy skills to assisting with this effort. The internship will provide invaluable experience in learning how legislative change happens in Congress. Taken together, these will enhance my ability to effect the change I anticipate in my future career.
After conducting researches on both Principal Financial Group and New York Life Insurance Company, I would be more likely to choose to work at Principal Financial Group. Both companies have strong background. Also, the products (insurance, investment, retirement solution) and services they provide for their customer are almost similar. Two companies, Principal and New York Life help individuals to create a plan that is the best fit for each person and design to be achievable and effective. In addition, it is appeal to me that both companies value and respect their employees. New York Life have a diversity environment and provide training programs for their agents. On the other hand, Principal not only value their employees, but
In the American Colonies Unit, I learned about the development and structure of the early colonies in America. More specifically, we talked about each colony's economy, government, religion, and history. For instance, we talked about how William Penn obtained a charter for Pennsylvania and made it a place of religious freedom and tolerance ("Brief History of William Penn"). In the American Colonies Project, we had to write a first-person narrative about living during the colonial times. For my project, I chose to research about Virginia during the time of Bacon's Rebellion. I chose to research Bacon's Rebellion because I wanted to understand why people 0f Virginia decided to rebel and what went through their minds as they burned Jamestown to the ground.
Before the Revolutionary War, Pennsylvania was most opposed to the independence movement from Great Britain. Pennsylvania’s secondary delegate, John Dickinson, was the main cause of that anti-independence movement. Dickinson’s view was that “independence from Great Britain was ‘treasonous action of the most despicable kind’” (Pandel, n. d.).
William Penn, an English entrepreneur, had an unforeseen impact on the history of the United States of America. Penn had been already a champion for democracy, religious freedom, and anti-slavery movements. Through his good relations with both the common people of England and the Indians of Pennsylvania, Penn was able to secure an entire state for many years to come. So that people could escape persecution for their religious beliefs, have more freedom, and have a good relationship with the Indians.
As a natural born resident of the City of Long Branch, I personally have gone to admire and appreciate the level of professionalism in our police officers in which govern our community. I have ultimately come to understand this high standard of professionalism and leadership has been properly groomed over generations. Thus, in my closing year at Saint Peter’s University in a concentration of criminal justice, I have taken significant interest in applying directly to Long Branch Police Department.
While I, Nicole Holcombe, was at my internship I learned how to do a walk around. You go to every door and check to make sure a person is in every cell. If you are doing a walk around after the inmate is back in their cell you make sure to check if the doors locked by pulling on the handle. I also learned you can check three places to know if someone has money on their books. Deputy Briggs showed me the rule book all inmates receive and how to write someone up. You write what they did wrong their name and cell number and then you give it to them when you can have another officer with you for your safety. Briggs also showed me how to log inmate movement, for example, if they go to the library. When logging movement you go to a program called
On wednesday at my internship was a very important day, because I got to go into the field and instead of go to the agency with went out into the field. That day I went to a place with some body of the agency and I saw the process of how they recruit the young participant to join the program. Which I think it's a good way to reach out to this participants, because as young participant they most of the time won't be interested until somebody reach them to help the participants.is a speciall internship becaouse is very important this is a good story to tell.It was really interesting to see the agancy from another perspective. Chapter 11 on the book the human services internship, it explained how as a professional and as a person that is learning,
This research paper is compiled from many interviews conducted with Agents at the Fort Smith office and has contributions from documents in the DEA resource center database. It will outline the history of the DEA, along with its mission and purpose. It will also introduce my supervisor and describe the Fort Smith agency, in general, and how the DEA operates within the domestic and international criminal justice system. In conclusion, I will describe my time working with the agents and my experience with the internship as a whole.
I am currently holding an internship at Waupaca Foundry and with the time I have spent there I have seen how much technology has evolved. Not just in the manufacturing world but in the world around us as well. Technology is growing and we use it more in our everyday lives. This is why I want to study the electrical technology field because most actions that are held in a factory, school system, or home run off of electricity. Learning a trade in the electrical technology field will also allow me to pick up and move anywhere. Even if the work would be different the basic concepts would still remain the same. If one is willing to continue to educate himself as time progresses they will never lose value as an employee.
Four months later, Penn had constructed his general layout for colonization. To the purchasers of sites within the province, Penn made his first mention of a large city, Philadelphia. “Penn did not want Philadelphia to be a duplicate of London. Instead, he desired the appearance of an orderly, yet rural, English town.” 3 He built the foundations of the town in a new way to match the new principles Penn wanted Pennsylvania to be ruled by. Penn idealized Pennsylvania as the political solution to economic prosperity. “The free practice of different faiths, except for Roman Catholicism, was necessary to a successful economy. Political participation by various religious groups was also a condition for a productive society.” 2 Nearly 20 years after commencing construction, Penn drafted and structured a “Pennsylvania Charter of Privileges,” for the citizens of the territory to be governed by.
Over the summer, I work as an intern with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) at their central office in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. While my official title was Engineering Intern for PennDOT, I spent ninety prevent of my time with the Pennsylvania State Historical Preservation Office’s staff working under three different mentors.
