Reflection On Internships

I’ve taken rigorous courses in areas that challenge me and stimulate my mind. My favorite classes have been the one’s that challenge me the most, like AP World History, AP US History, and AP European History. One of my most meaningful academic achievements was getting the highest possible score on the AP US History exam. My love for history gave birth to my interest in politics and law. For the past two years I’ve been a delegate at the North Carolina Youth Legislative Assembly. This opportunity allowed me to debate and discuss politics with other young people. But what really merged my passion with history and politics together was representing North Carolina at the Electric Cooperative Youth Tour to Washington D.C. in June 2016. During this week long experience I was able to tour our nation’s capital and met with U.S. Representatives and Senators. I’ve always worked hard to succeed in my endeavors because I want my hard work to make the Hispanic community proud and inspire other young

The purpose of the proposed study is to explore how interns are influenced by the internship in regards to their career choice. The data will be collected from the three different field sites; Higbee and Associates, Legal Aid Society of Orange County and Public Defenders Office of Santa Ana with assessing total of 50-60 interns who will be participating in these three different field sites. Using the previous studies as a guideline I will use the combination of interviews and questionnaires to assess the attitudes of the interns regarding the before and after the internship. After assessing the interns the proposed study will conduct a follow-up study with the interns after six years to see the impact of the internship on the career

I was able to become a student senator and contribute to the Washburn Student Government Association. I was placed in an internship in the Kansas House Minority Leaders office for 8 months, helping with constituent service and developing a community mentorship program with legislators from both parties. I participated in four Washburn Transformational Experience programs which allowed me to study culture and economics in Japan and Korea, Politics in the United Kingdom, and follow presidential candidates in Iowa. I volunteered on a student voter registration drive led by the Kansas League of Women Voters. All while maintaining a 3.7 GPA in Washburn’s rigorous political science

Next, I began my internship for the Targeted Engagement team at Targeted Victory, as I learned about the technology, advertising and political frim aspect of politics. Here, I helped create a daily company newsletter through email software applications such as Silverpop. I

I had originally wanted to intern at my firm because of my love for policy minutiae, but I, unexpectedly, found a kind of magic in the grimy politics of Harrisburg. My first tour of the gilded capitol, taken in the midst of a budget crisis, was illuminating. “This representative is a friend of ours, this senator is an alcoholic, that man is just using this office

When signing up for an internship in Senator Flake’s office, I did not know what to expect. I did not know the type of work I would be doing. I hardly knew who Senator Flake was. It sounded like an interesting opportunity that I learned about at the job fair, and I thought it would be fun. It was far more than fun though—I learned so much from my internship, researching for the office, attending meetings, writing letters, and staying up-to-date on current events. More than anything else, though, I learned from the constituents themselves.

Serving as further motivation, I continued pursuing this desire by trying to understand everything I could about the realm of politics and government. I interned for Nancy Pelosi to get started and to learn more about the impact of politicians on the community. Despite the negative notions surrounding them, I learned that they give people hope and a way to reach ears in Washington, D.C. Constituents constantly wrote, emailed, and called in, fighting to be heard and to petition change. It was up to the politicians themselves to make a difference, but the

These interests have driven me to declare an Education, Schooling, and Society minor, to volunteer as a tutor for local children in the Slice of Life program, to join the EduClub here on campus, and to assist in research for National Study of Youth and Religion. Looking towards the future, I am now hoping pursue a career in education policy. This is where the Washington Program could be indispensably helpful. If I were accepted into the program, I would try for an internship at the Department of Education, where I could gain real-world experience in education policy and work among some of the most talented people in the field. Considering Donald Trump’s ambitious goals for the expansion of school-choice programs throughout the country, I would have the chance to witness one of the most exciting and challenging times in American education from the epicenter of policy-making itself. Although I have extensively researched available internship opportunities within the Department, I do not have my eye on any single position. Fortunately, as an intern at the Department of Education, I would have the chance to participate in weekly Q&A panels with officials from different areas within the department, thus exposing me to all the different subsets of education policy. Ultimately, the Washington Program would enable me to hone my interests even further and develop a better understanding of what areas of education policy most engage

I decide to strive toward the political science field. One of my first career goals is to receive a bachelor’s degree in Political Science. Having a bachelor’s degree, I will emphasis in being a Legislative Field Representative and assists a government member with helping constituents with any issue involving city services and quality of life. I Also plan to pursue a master’s degree in Public Policy that will further my career, possibly be a diplomat in residence, providing guidance and advice on careers, and fellowships to students and professionals in the communities they serve.

I am a current junior in the John Glenn College of Public Affairs. My career advisor, Alexander Toomey, has directed me to this internship. I have finished my previous semester in Washington D.C. as a John Glenn WAIP fellow. This experience has deepened my passion for policy advocacy. Because my degree focus is in education policy, I am especially eager to work with the firm knowing it has assisted clients in K-12 and higher education policy. Though I have specific interests in education policy, I am eager to learn and assist with any policy advocacy.

Politics has been a passion of mine from a young age. Throughout my grade school years, my father and I would watch the news before school, and as we ate breakfast we would process the information we had watched. Therefore, before I fully even comprehended the role of a president, senator, representative, or delegate, I knew that I would one day run for office. The Washington Semester would allow me to become one step closer to achieving that childhood dream of mine.

The marketing internship I was lucky enough to participate in at the University Center has been a very educational and valuable life experience. This internship has taught me many lessons that I can apply to my future career. For clarity purposes of this paper, I have listed my original education objective first and it will be followed by details about the progress of achieving that outcome over the course of the internship.

During my time at Accounting Firm X I learned many lessons that apply not only to accounting and the principles and practices associated with that subject, but also to life as a professional in a real world work setting. The purpose of this essay is to highlight my experiences at Accounting Firm X to shed light upon key learning experiences that can contribute to a holistic educational experience. In this essay I will first describe my goals and expectations. Next, I will go in to detail about my daily routine and how these exercises contributed toward the overall experience. I will then explore the overall lessons learned from my time spent at the firm.

“Competing on Analytics” defines an analytical competitor “as an organization that uses analytics extensively and systematically to outthink and out execute the competition.”(1) Business analytics is a new way for companies to separate themselves from their competitors. I recently completed an internship at the firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and will work there full-time upon completion of this program. PwC uses analytics to help solve complex business issues and to identify opportunities across different industries. PwC is the largest professional service company in the world and is part of the Big Four accounting firms. PwC operates in over 157 countries with more than 750 offices throughout the world.(2) PwC is structured into three service lines, which are Assurance, Advisory and Tax. The assurance practice audits almost 30% of the global fortune 500 companies.(2) The advisory practice is mainly consulting activities that cover strategy, cyber security and privacy, human resources, deals and forensics. (2) These three practices generated $35.4 billion in revenue in 2015. (2)

After this internship made me realised how diverse engineering fields and there is so much new knowledge to learn, considering myself with electrical power engineering background working in construction site which may related on civil engineering field. When I studied the project plan documentations, there is some new term and I need to find extra information on the Internet myself to understand more about the ongoing project. Having said that, knowledge that I have obtained throughout my study in ECU proved to be useful such as basic CAD, mechanic and material courses during my first and second year which make me easier to understand the structure drafting of the floor plans.
