I am interested in the MPD internship for numerous reasons. First, as my junior year is quickly concluding, I would like to narrow my quest for the correct placement, in addition to increasing my experience in a field that coincides with social work. Social Work is a very broad field, being that it ranges from military social workers to hospital ones, so hands on experience would better help me to choose which field fascinates me. Second, since social work and criminal justice work synchronously, it would be to my benefit to have a vast understanding of the criminal justice system of the city I hope to work in. So that I can greatly help my future clients and my community (being that I was born and raised in D.C.) . In a nutshell, this internship would assist me in selecting my specific field and help me to understand how to correctly associate with the representatives of criminal justice, as a social worker.

My first skill set is my drive, meaning that I am whole-hearted, tenacious, resourceful and willing to learn. My second skill set is that I have previous experience working with inner city youth. During my junior year of college, I began mentoring inner city Baltimore young ladies (middle school aged); whereas my organization(including myself) would support the young ladies in ways, such assisting with their homework, aiding them in figuring out life choices and lastly finding ways to improve their self-confidence. The third and final group of qualities I possess are secretarial work, meaning that I am skilled in a range of computer programs spanning from Microsoft Word to SPSS, I am sufficient in communication skills and finally I am organized and timely; this all shows that I am dependable and ready. Overall, though my skill sets are very diverse, I hope that they could be useful for your internship
