Personal Narrative: My Internship At UCLA Lab School

Although in the past four years at Roanoke Valley Early College (RVEC) I have grumbled about how long I have been in the program and mentioned being ready to graduate almost everyday, writing this paper almost feels like a farewell. A bittersweet moment that I can safely say I deserve because of how hard I worked towards seeing this year all come together. The best way to describe is stunning. I would almost always hear any and everyone say that senior year comes up fast and I now know that they were not joking even a little. During my time at Roanoke Valley Early College I have evolved into a person that I am proud to call myself through my internship, staff members, career aspirations, and individual improvement.

In my experience over my current internship at Aiken Elementary School this year has been very helpful. Mentoring a professional teacher gave me the experience of being able to mentor children. I am well prepared to make kindergarten students learn the alphabet and to help them build

When I heard about Generations during one of my AMS First Year Intern meetings, I quickly found myself connected with the club’s motive to integrate and support the Kingston senior community through one on one interactions. Specifically, I was excited to hear about the opportunity for the club to assist seniors at Providence Manor. Being highly interested in the medical field as well as with my experience working with the elderly, I believe that I am an excellent candidate for the Facilities Coordinator position. Starting off, throughout high school and my current years at university, I have collaborated and assisted with seniors on multiple occasions. For example, I was the club President for an organization named Junior Civitan, during which

While attending UMD, I have held four different jobs. My main job is a summer internship through Bolton & Menk, Inc. I worked there this past summer and was re-hired for this upcoming summer. My job duties included data entry, construction observation, field measurements, and daily field reports for many multi million dollar road construction projects around the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community and Mystic Lake Hotel. I observed the installation of storm sewer pipes and service entrances in addition to doing field calculations to correct pipe grades. I also observed parking lot and roadway preparation and asphalt laydown. Concrete work was checked and tested for compliance with state regulations in addition to checking string lines for

I was worried about being drawn to other topics besides marine science. It's what I've always thought I wanted to do, but after my first year at Evergreen, I've allowed myself to explore a lot more. I decided it's okay to learn and experience different things along the way, as long as I feel they're beneficial, and will improve my understanding of the world. I haven't veered too far from my original interest and want my focus to be in environmental studies.

During my first year at Ithaca College I experienced a major depression. I had family complications when I first went away to college and it affected in a way which I had never experienced before. The pain I suffered day after day, night after night was unendurable. I could not never concentrate enough to even complete my work, I lacked motivation to cease any tasks. Also, I was heartbroken at the thought of not playing varsity soccer because soccer is very important to me.

As I took the LASSI, I was comparing my educational experience at UCSB and currently at USC. I know that if I would have taken the LASSI while being an undergrad at UCSB plenty of those percentages would be on the lower end. There are various reasons for this; all revolving around my experience being a first-generation college student. When I first started UCSB, I met my first friends who were from a different culture and race. Prior to UCSB, my only knowledge about Asian and white people came from the media and my friends’ experiences. Moreover, much of my knowledge was negative and when I went to UCSB I unconsciously chose to hang out with those who looked like me. Nevertheless, I quickly learned that what I had seen and heard prior to UCSB

When I first attended SummerTech, I was amazed at how everything was done so professionally. Although our privileges were restricted, as I got older, I began to understand the liability risks that are associated with "on-the-loose" campers. I remember my first night at SummerTech, rooming with a friend from my hometown, Charles. We weren't able to sleep, and stayed up all night. I tried to soak up as much information as I can, within my two weeks at the program. When I returned to CIT, I learned that being a camper was the easy part. Nevertheless, it was still an amazing experience to see what happens behind the scenes at SummerTech. I taught two campers named Jake and Derek, in a web development elective. This was my first experience as a

The most challenging part of my first semester at Long Beach State was managing the work load and getting accustomed to the college life. My classes were difficult; I would spend a tremendous amount for time working on homework that I would not have much time to go to club meetings or hang out with my friends. I addressed the problem by going to office hours and getting extra help. In addition, I asked people in my dorm building if they could tutor me. I eventually got accustomed to the work load and balancing school and my social

Last summer, I participated in the Student Historian internship at the New-York Historical Society (N-YHS) and navigated from New Jersey to the museum every day. During the internship, I researched, wrote, edited, and formatted a blog post on a piece from their collection, now posted on the N-YHS website, demonstrating my strong research and writing skills. I am currently taking a photography class and enjoy using DSLR cameras in manual and automatic mode. Moreover, we learn about shutter speed, depth of field, aperture, and ISO as well as how to adjust the camera in order to take the best possible picture. In photography class, I take weekly photos on various subjects as well as edit and enhance photos in Photoshop. Last year, I took a sculpture and ceramics class where we not only learned how to create sculptures and ceramics but also the elements of sculpture and design.

It would be an honor to have an opportunity to contribute to your department throughout my entire two years spent at Teachers College. It is my belief that all of my qualifications will be applicable to aiding with

On March 1, 2016, my fellow peers and I took a school fieldtrip to the Carnegie Science Center. Fortunately, it was Sci Tech Days that day. Being this day, we were able to explore the different floors and visit the many exhibitor tables. Also, we divided into small groups for us to visit a workshop, but everyone combined again to see another workshop. For most of the day, I stayed in a small group of three other people who are my close friends

Last summer, I was able to intern at Clary Document Management, a small company that my soccer coach owned. I worked in the Data Management department, where I handled medical records for hospitals, doctors, and patients. Because the company was relatively small, I was able to get a really close look at an entrepreneur and his business. I have always been interested in one day developing my own business, but while interning last summer this interest really grew and began to branch out. More recently, I have also begun thinking about going back to Ecuador and establishing a business there. While I was able to get a small insight to the world of business last summer, the Endeavor Argentina internship will be able to further increase my knowledge in Latin American business, while also being able to provide to the Latin American community.

I was going about 10 weeks to internship at Delaware Technical Community College at Dover. During this time I was working most time like web developer.

During my stay at Cornell this summer, I was exhausted every day--my life was basically filled with group projects, art critiques, reading homework, social activities, and filed trips. I always felt so thankful when I finally got to lie down on my little bed in the dorm room, and also, I would think aloud--"Sweet, I had another awesome
