My First Internship

Although I am a junior, this past summer was my first internship. Going into the summer I was scared to start this new adventure in life. This was the first time I had ever worked a semi long-term job away from home. Nervously, I went the first day and fell in love. I spent the summer splitting time between two employers in a joint deal working in crop research. These opportunities taught me a lot of new information and opened me to the research field. Although everything is such a small scale, I enjoyed being a part of all the testing and work it goes to check and make products work. I even plan to continue to work in this field for the coming years. The lesson I learned from this was just because you may be scared to start a new adventure, wether it be a job, internship, or coming to Purdue, don’t let that stop you from going and trying it, you might just fall in love with it.
