Elk Ridge Internship Reflection
Being the security guard at Elk Ridge Ranch over the course of the past ten weeks has proven many things about me as a person. I have benefited tremendously from the experiences during the internship. I have developed a strong understanding of what it takes to provide security for people and also how beneficial this type of work can be. The impact that this internship has had on me as a person have been tremendous. The internship has changed my overall perspective of what I want to do for the rest of my life. I feel that the internship provided a unique opportunity to get to know people from all over the United States. Being able to meet people from all over the United States was something I never dreamed I would get to do, but I benefited from this greatly. I felt that with my background as a student at Vincennes University, I was fully ready to take on the tasks I was dealt on a daily basis.
I found that I had much more strength in many areas than I had thought prior to

In order to be a good candidate for this internship, a student must be able to perform tasks in a thorough manner and also be very responsible. These two things are the two single most important things that I learned from interning as security guard at Elk Ridge Ranch. If I were looking into interning with this organization, I would look forward to all of the different people you will get to meet and provide security for, and also the overall satisfaction resulting from providing security for all of the people that visit Elk Ridge Ranch. I have nothing but positive things to say about this organization, and if I were an individual looking for an internship that will lead to very positive outcomes, this would be the place to

    For this essay, I chose as my influence the classic American novel, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Many people know The Great Gatsby as a book they were forced to read in high school. If truth be told, I count myself among that group. I believed, like many of my fellow classmates, that our seemingly fruitless efforts at dissecting the meaning of this book could have been better utilized toward more “important” things. However, once I started college last year, I developed a renewed interest in this uniquely “American” tale. I suspect my interest stems from the fascination I have always had with the “roaring twenties” or “jazz age” as Fitzgerald himself described this decadent period of living in our nation’s history. Something about this era seemed to me so glamorous yet vaguely familiar to our current standard of living in America.…

In addition, I believe all of the CITs helped the head of the camp tremendously. He told us when we were all finished how much we all helped him this summer. He told us he could not have gone through it without us. This experience should pave my way into a life of helping other young and…

    Throughout my high school experience, the one memory I remember the most that helped me the most would have to be the time I interned at a local non-profit, Lettuce Live Well. I decided that I needed to encounter more challenges in my life; as if my life wasn’t challenging enough. I decided to work with a non-profit because I knew I would get all the experience I can get while getting to work head on with the local community; this was what made it all worth it. The one place that I found I can get the most experience while still connecting with the local community was an organization call Lettuce Live Well.…

    Not only did I feel proud for making interdisciplinary connections when explaining things, but I was also able to support my friends. My peers would walk into math tutoring completely clueless, but would walk out offering to teach others the material. The excited yells of kids who received As on tests for the first time was worth more than anything else I could’ve done in my free time. Beyond that, I realized support is a universal need. By believing in my peers’ ability, I helped them overcome hurdles that had been there for a long time. Most of all, contributing to the community wasn’t about the hours I put into it, but rather the effects that my service had. My actions can protect the future from the chaos of potentiality.…

    My internship experience for this summer was quite engaging, exposing, knowledgeable, yet challenging at the same time. I began to serve at PSP Professional Services on May 31st. PSP Professional Services is a private practice created by one of the licensed counselors and it is funded through several insurances and/or employer-sponsored services. Moreover, my schedule consisted of going Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 3p.m. Occasionally, I would attend Saturdays depending if there was an interpreter needed for the day. I chose this specific facility because it is located in the Hispanic area and I support the premise behind the foundation of this facility. PSP Professional Services hopes to reach out to those who have been victimized,…

    Veterans Internship Essay

    One of the more important things I learned from this internship is that I don’t want to work in California; I dislike the hyper social, flaky, culture. I also learned a lot about how working with a living history program feels like. It was more social than I imagined. This knowledge will affect my life plan in that I am sure I don’t want to go to college or pursue a career in California. I also think I am more inclined to seek a career as a Librarian than as a schoolteacher, given that enjoyed working in a library much more than working in a…

    Howard High School of Technology helped me be prepared for my future because when I came to Howard as a freshman I was not ready, and I was scared.

    Job Shadowing

    I came to the Liberty Champion for job shadowing on April 7. I spent the first half watching Greg edit stories and tried to help him come up with headlines for each story. He helped by explaining how everything worked again. This is my third time taking the practicum so I remembered a lot of how everything worked. Then Greg had me and another girl edit the Coffeehouse story that was going in the paper this week. So we took the article and fixed all the edits that you guys had made to the article. Then we helped Sara try and come up with the headlines that Greg was struggling with. I enjoyed getting a rundown again of how everything runs and works in the Champion office because I seem to always forget. We ended up our time by Sara going over each one of our articles with us. She gave us some really good advice and told us exactly what you guys were expecting from each article. She went through and explained each edit that was made and she made sure we understood why it was not right. I enjoyed being able to help out the most I could while I was there on Sunday and I feel like I learned a lot. I realized how much work Greg and Sara really put into this section of the newspaper. Well, everyone puts in a ton of work, but for my section it made me realize a lot of things. We make their job ten times easier if we really focus and put a lot of work into our articles. I would say this job shadowing was my favorite out of all the three semesters I have done it. I felt like I learned more and was able to help out, which helped me better understand what goes into putting a newspaper…
