The skills I’ve learned will help me succeed in my future, not just in other jobs but in day to day situations with people I face everyday. Both of my soft and hard skills are very useful to me even currently outside of my internship – I’m able to help my family with tasks, especially help my dad with my hard skills, and I use my soft skills with my friends. Whenever there is a difficult situation, I’m able to handle the problem maturely and communicate my feelings.
This internship has helped me connect with my community too by having us engage in multiple teamwork scenarios, including in fun ways where I was able to learn more about the people around me. It has helped me connect with the environment by educating me on everything that is around us. Working in nature everyday has accustomed me to act on instinct even in other places, with composting, planting, cleaning and taking care of the earth in general.
