Reflection On My Internship Experience

The quarter has finally come to an end, and with that, I close out my internship and this class that went along with it. It was a great experience and I leave equipped with a new set of skills that are preparing me for the world ahead.

At the end of the internship, and several years down the road, I know I’ll be able to think back to this first real job as the stepping stone foundation that I needed to prepare myself for the world
