I want to gain real world experience in a working environment and learn what is expected of me. That is what I hope to accomplish.
What do you hope your career will be after school?
I want to have a career in engineering, though I do not know the specific branch I want to study yet.
What have you learned through the internship?
I have learned how to use a lot of the office machinery like the copy machine, but I also have learned how to use different website creators and how to act in a workplace.
