Top 3 Internship Sites
|
One of my ideal internships are with the Chula Vista Olympic training center. I chose this internship site because athletics and biology have always been an interest of mine and so I think it would be really awesome to be in an environment where these two things are showed on a day to day basis. I am very curious of the day in a life of professional athletes and of the way they keep their bodies healthy and the physical struggles that they go through. Some skills I could offer for this company is just my willingness to learn and my quick adaptability.
Outside the lens mission is to empower youth to use social media to create change within themselves, their community and their world. Photography and videography are really big interest of mine so I believe this company will allow me to take my interests and take it to influence the youth. My interest in film photography will allow me to grow in different areas and my desire to make a mark in the world will be a good opportunity to start here. I've always wanted to take a trip and visit google headquarters. Seeing that they have a headquarters in SD really made me really excited to think of the potential opportunity to intern over there. I think being in a workspace where there are so many different jobs would really interest me because there would always be something to get done and so I would always stay busy. My contribution would go into being able to take on a workload, and assist people in jobs. I am always looking for things to do, or the next thing to work on which would really useful in a workspace like google.

What am I most looking forward to about junior internship?
For junior internships I am really excited at the idea of taking of school to be in professional space and explore a possible career option. This opportunity will really help me figure out or at least give me an idea of what I want to study in college and will help me develop some skills that not many high schooler get so learn until they are much older. I know that a lot of alumni said that their month off of school they were not only being getting experience but, expanding their social web for connections that have become useful to them for when they got older. So for me I am most excited for all the opportunities that come with dong an internship and for the career exploration.
Which of your skills do you hope to apply to your internship? Which of your skills do you hope to strengthen?
Some skills that I hope to apply for my internship is my ability to adapt quickly and learn fast. My passion for learning has really made it easy for me to develop the skills to learn things quite fast so wherever I am needed and whatever work I am willing to learn and do whatever work that needs to get done. My skill in adaptability has come from being an athlete all my life. I am always put in situation where the outcome is unknown and my skill to analyze and adapt will really come through in being able to catch on to the professional work environment.
Some skills I hope to strengthen is my communication with adults. I found that I work well with my peers and people my age group but, I seem to get very timid when working with adults. I hope that being put in an environment with adults will allow me to open up and communicate with them with anything.
