Journal Entry#9  Wednesday 2/29/2011

Kurt Hahn was also quoted to say,

...Plus est en vous. ---  There is more in you than you think. [commonly used by Hahn and motto for one of his schools]

Reflect on this quote in terms of your experience with your internship:

I honestly never thought that I would have been going to a hospital every day to help people and to learn while I was I was in High School. It's so hard to think that I would be able to study psychology at age 17. I am so thankful for this opportunity. I know that since I was able to make this happen that I can do many other this with my life that will benefit me just as much if not more. I have been set up for college and the real world by setting up meetings, going to meetings, facilitating meetings, going on call for integrated care consultations, going to brainstorming meetings for help groups, going to help groups, and many other things to help the hospital during my time.  I never imagined I could do that, nor did I think I could set that up for myself. This has been a wonderful experience and opportunity for me to go one step closer to deciding what I'd like to do as a career.

If you were to give advice to a junior next about the whole internship process, what would you say.  Write a letter for me to use next year in September.  It will not have your name on it.

Dear Juniors!

          Hopefully you already have an idea of what you want to do for your internship and some places to go and people to meet up with in mind. If you do not yet, you need to get on that as soon as possible. This experience will set you up for college internships, jobs in real life, and taking responsibility for your own learning. Don't get bogged down in the research paper, because it's one small part of a greater project. Keep your experts, teachers and peers informed on what you're doing so that they can help you move forward and no one is surprised when your internship come around. Try and get out of the house to do what you can, the world is your oyster, so go explore it. Do something you might want to do as a career or you want to study in college for your internship! If you don't like it, that's okay, then you know that you don't want to do it for a living and you would have saved yourself a lot of time and money. If you end up liking it, you could have set yourself up for the rest of your life. Make sure you start setting a timeline for yourself so that you are ready for due dates when they show up. 

Overall, have fun and work hard in the begging and save yourself the hell. 

Love, 

An anonymous Senior
