Entry 1, The Calm Before the Storm!

Journal Entry #1
Kurt Hahn once said,
“..As our society has become information rich, it has become action poor. It has become poor in the necessity and possibility for struggle against the environment. As affluence has increased, the young person's environment has become impoverished for responsible and productive action, or any action that tests and develops him.”

Reflecting on all your actions to this point and looking forward to your internship experience, how or how not have you exemplified the idea of exemplifying responsible action and productive action? When you answer this question again after you finish your internship, how can you create an experience that truly exemplifies this quote?:

Reflecting on the weeks and months preceding my internship, I can honestly say that I've read quite a bit, completed a research essay and was very concrete in my setting and experts needed. I'm jumping into tomorrow a little unaware of everything I'm getting into because I don't have a calendar quite set up yet, but I'm doing an orientation and meeting with Dr. Sheldon (my expert) to solidify my duties at the hospital. It's hard to say if I've done enough work, because psychology is such a broad topic, and I don't quite know what I need to zero in on yet, but so far for my background knowledge, I'm feeling prepared, I just wish I would have read it later or more spread out, so that the information was a bit more fresh.

I know that I really want to dive headfirst into this experience and do as many hours, as much work on the side, and as much I can in the field on my internship. I specify with this because in previous years I have not enriched my own experience as much as I should have, or would have liked to.

Time to go to bed so I can make it to work on time!

Goodnight and Wish me Goodluck!
