I am grateful that I was able to fill my summer with experiences I can include on my college applications. I am grateful for the class increasing my computer literacy. Before this class I had never made a gmail, I had never done anything with google sites or drive. I feel I have the tools now to accomplish so much more. I have written my first resume and cover letter, I have created a linked in profile, and I have a letter of recommendation on file. I am thankful for my internship which has really helped me identify the sections of veterinary medicine I enjoy. I also am glad I did this internship and class because I am reconsidering my future. Through budgeting and finance planning I realized it's more ideal for me to be a neurosurgeon on humans instead of animals. My passion lies with surgery and with animals, but it's also important for me to not burn out on my love of animals. I feel volunteering with nonprofits for animals and working as a surgeon for humans could be the balance I'm looking for.

It's great that you got so much out of this experience. Doing the internship also caused me to re-evaluate my career choice. For me, part of this change came from the discoveries on Waybook. Did you experience the same? I did not think about the benefit of having a gmail before reading your blog, but I realize now that it is a great tool for getting work done and put out for the rest of the world to see.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you found a happy balance for yourself, Sierra! This internship was tough because it made me re think my plans as well!
