As an intern in two "similar", but ultimately very different environments, I've come to appreciate the schooling I've received and the opportunity to travel. In England, I realized appreciation what HTH has done. I realized quickly that I wouldn't ever enjoy my learning in an environment other than project based at HTHNC. Watching what the kids at HTeNC do compared to what the children do in England is so mindblowingly different. Children at HTeNC are encouraged to have bigger goals that involve the community and improving both themselves and others. On the other hand, children in England are taught from a very early age to quickly finish exams as proof of their intelligence and learning. It will be really interesting to see how these two emerging groups will compare in the future.
As for how internship has affected my direction in life, it's only crossed out what might have been a possibility to me. I want to try other fields, instead of sticking to what I've always known: education. However, the future is still uncertain to me. Even with senior year quickly approaching, I don't have my heart set on any college, nor do I think I will until I've found what I want to do in my life. However, I want whatever I eventually do to be meaning
