To serve and contribute to the community, it means to have the communities best interest in mind, and to truly hold purpose to your actions. I believe that Rob Riordan wanted to really emphasize the importance the internship experience holds to students and their character. It is clear throughout this quote that Riordan believes the intern makes the experience what it should be. The goals and its accomplishments are in the students hands. My internship site at Bell Middle School, is there to serve the basic needs of students. The internship i will be apart of really focuses on the well-being of students that may not have basic needs met in other areas of their life. This schools supports children in the local area. Serving and supporting others around you will build your character and empathy towards other, this will make you an amazing team player. Serving lower income students that may lack support will ensure stability through this generation. I feel as though I can truly embody perspective and use this as an asset. Therefor as a current student, I am able to relate to the young students of my site and understand what is most effective. I believe it would be beneficial to design a safe space for students of Bell Junior High to rely on. I also believe it would be beneficial for students to have a zine promoting advocacy of such taboo topics in society, mental health. I would design a zine for students and faculty to provide information to students about such a innovative way of spreading ideas/ information through personalized art and writing.

Throughout my years at High Tech, I had been challenged in all subjects in very different ways. Through these challenges, I had learned different methods to work through them and problem solve independently and in groups. A specific skill I have practiced throughout my years of projects as a student would be familiarity of general technology. I hold enough of an understanding to have the ability to operate most programs. A specific project that comes to mind would be a project that I did in 7th grade. My team and I had a task of designing and executing and functioning machine with wood. We designed our machine using Adobe Illustrator, therefore I had spent countless hours using a fairly advanced design program. Many projects I had worked on required work on photoshop, adobe illustrator, Video editing programs, and countless word documents/ presentations. Therefore I believe I am relatively proficient with such computer programs. As common as class projects at High Tech, are individual presentations. These presentations are requirements throughout the school year to show growth, and simply as class assignments. Presenting to groups and communication is a skill that I have practiced and learned to feel comfortable doing for the past 6 years. This also has taught me to be a strong listener and observer. I believe I would be able to apply this to a adult-environment, since I understand communication is an important asset to any working and productive work place. I also believe having security in the quality importance of your work is important as well. To have strong confidence in ones own work reflects the quality and effort that was exhibited in the work through its curation process.
I am very interested in Psychology and mental health. I believe Brain Health issues are important to address and have open conversations about. Raising awareness and encouraging conversation will help reduce the stigma. My big dream of my future is to open own practice. I would love to become a psychiatrist and be able to serve my local community with mental health support. I would love to feel as though I succeeded and had done the most I possibly could to get to that point. I would love to be able to support my family and the people around me. I would like to be a self sufficient individual that is successful and hard working. I would like to be a reliable source to many people of the community, through true dedication and goal making, I know I can meet meet my dream. At this current point in time I feel a bit disorganized and hectic at the moment and bit discouraged. I think I could work on this and get on a steady path that will allow me to succeed. Im excited for a change , a change from my everyday school schedule and hopefully gain some insight into my future general career path.
