Almost a Wrap!
Only 2 assignments stand in the way of me being all done with finals. I am almost an official graduating senior, which I have mixed feelings about. This year has went by quickly, lots of great things have happened socially and academically, and now I am ready for the summer to begin!
Now that this school year is days from being over, there are lots of things to look forward to for this summer including fun with friends who went away to other colleges, visits to the Mall of America, hanging out at the Farmer's Market, and watching movies in downtown Minneapolis!
Also, this summer, I will be leading my first high school tour with Students Today Leaders Forever (stlf.net). I and 8 other leaders will be on a charter bus filled with alternative students from both the north and south side of Minneapolis. It will be interesting to say the least. We will stop in Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri and do a community service project in each city. I got to plan our service project, dinner, and lodging for the day that we will be in Springfield, IL. Fortunately, it turned out to be a pretty simple process, The Salvation Army was excited to hear that we were coming. That will be 5 days of full of dancing, fun, and leadership. I can't wait!
Upon my return from that, I will be taking a family vacation to Atlanta for a week. Hopefully, I will get to see some family who i have not seen in a while. There will be no internet access, so it will definitely be a challenge for me, but I am sure it will be a great time.
When I return from there, more fun will be awaiting me, Luckily, thanks to the help I received from the Career & Community Learning Center, I have been offered an internship and am excited to gain experience in a new field this summer.
One great thing about living in the Twin Cities is that there are so many Fortune 500 companies close by, If you are interested in working in corporate America, it is a great place to find internships and see what areas you like.
The CCLC helped me to create an awesome resume and cover letter, and learn about the importance of informational interviews, which is how I got this upcoming internship and the one I had last summer. I am very excited to begin working for this company and gaining experience in a new area.
This break from school will be much needed and I will return in the fall raring to go!
Until next time, Be EZ!
