This assignment has been a very good experience for me. I kind of knew what a internship was but never thought that I would do one. Now though I have applied for a couple and I’m very excited to try some new careers out. I had never thought about public speaking but I ran across a internship were I would be helping an outreach program speaking and helping at risk youth with health and fitness. I am so excited! I found the application in one of the web sites in the reading. I think this activity has opened my options to another major I had not previously thought of, but I think I would be really good at and I would love to be a public speaker. I actually have a very unique back ground and would love to share it.

I also went to the Ranger station at Timp cave and talked to the manager over the internships for the Timp cave and the parks, she told me they will be doing hiring in January for the Summer of 2012. They have a internship program. I had no idea there was a internship program for everything.
