Practicality. Area of Interest and Growth

Overall, this semester was an amazing semester. It was full of challenge, growth and development. Coming into my internship I wanted to accomplish three things. 1. I wanted to find a context where I could apply some of the theory and philosophy I have been learning. My internship was with CORD and I definitely was able to do that. I had seen first hand how collaboration is vital to accomplishing objectives and goals. I am very impressed with how CORD is structured and flows, many individuals contribute and work together. 2. I was able to find an area of interest to focus as a graduate. 3. I was also able to grow and develop as a professional. I had first-hand experience into how to manage the rigor of academic life. Watching my supervisors and team members function to meet deadlines caused me to recognize areas of procrastination in my own life and deal with them. For that, I am particularly grateful for.
