Discovering My Path: A Reflection on My Internship Experience
Abstract
Before my internship as a day treatment intern at Family and Children's Center in Winona, MN, I didn't really have any solid career plans. My position as an intern has taught me a lot of valuable lessons—about myself, and about kids—and I have gained extremely valuable experience that will stick with me throughout the rest of my education and my career journeys. I have learned that I enjoy being a safe person in the lives of these kids and teenagers, I would like to work with teenagers in the future, and most of all, I have become a much more patient person. My poster presentation will include my job responsibilities, who I work with, and what I have learned, and I will connect a psychological principle to my internship experience.
