Starting Summer

Summer is a very important time for students in quite a few ways. It is a great time to get a mental reset from the prior school year and set goals for the coming year. Going into my senior year this coming fall, I have the pleasure to figure out what I want to do after graduation, which is obviously a totally stress free process. In all reality, internships are one of the best things I think a student can get in to. I have had multiple opportunities each summer for internships and was able to do things I really enjoyed. However, I would argue that finding what you dislike is just as important as finding what you do like in an internship. Trying something new each summer was a goal I set freshman year and I have stuck to that throughout school. This summer, I’ll be a “Production Agronomy Intern” with Corteva Agriscience and I’m very excited for it. I have not worked for any of the big, corporate companies before and it was something I wanted to do before graduating. After the interactions I had last fall at the career fair, I knew that Corteva was where I wanted to intern. Making connections and asking questions are my 2 main goals at this point in time for this summer, but I think it’s good to add more as time goes on. I will report back in August how my summer went, but good luck to you all this summer on whatever new things you face.
