How might internship influence the direction of your life? This particular internship showed me San Diego as a city with so much to offer. I didn't realize how many opportunities there were just within this county. It also showed me that I should be passionate about whatever field I choose to go into because there is so much choice out in the world. As I was researching resources for the Citizens Diplomacy Council to use, I came across organizations that I have never dreamed existed. I also know that I want to work within a small company because of work environment. At CDCSD, I always feel encouraged and I think that gets lost in a big company because of the amount of people, but as of now I have nothing to concretely compare it to. Through this internship, I also know that I am going to have to be in a field which is project based because I realized my attention span is not long enough to withstand repetition. I have been working on three projects during my time at CDCSD and they have all kept me engaged because of their interest and the amount of time each project lasted.
What new questions has your internship inspired you to ask about our world? What has it made you wonder about? What are you moved to go out and do or learn about on your own time?
Yesterday, I attended a seminar at the Trans-border Institute at the Institute of Peace and Justice about a book called “Police and Public Security in Mexico.” It was an amazing seminar that identified the problems in the police force in Mexico and stated solution oriented ideas about how to combat the issues. Much of the seminar was new information to me as I have not researched Mexican governance in depth. Attending this seminar and being exposed to all the realities of this issue has inspired me to look into it further and be active in getting the word out. This was an opportunity that came up during my internship, and I was fortunate enough to be invited to go!
