I have had the honor of being chosen to intern at the Autism Tree Project Foundation. I have recently been super involved in working with people who have Autism. I have volunteered at Banding Together a program that teaches music therapy for people with special needs, for about a year. Some skills I have learned from volunteering would be efficiency. While volunteering, I have learned to be quick and to adapt to any situation. This has shown when the van full of equipment would arrive later than usual. We would have to be able to set up quicker so that everything would be ready for the students. I am very excited to learn about all the different resources available to those who need it. Not only am I able to help others, I am able to help my sister to find the best program necessary to make her successful.

1. I would like to intern at BrainLeap Technologies because they combine neuroscience and computer science together. I think that this will be very beneficial to me because it would help me understand how to program games while learning ASD deeper. Something that really struck me about this company is that they make games for people that have ASD. I would be successful in this internship because I would be able to utilize my skills to help the company. This site would be perfect for me because I would have both passions included into this one site. I am very excited to intern in this company.
2. I would like to intern at Caltrans IT department because I think it would be an experience that would be interesting to take part in. Caltrans is the department of transportations and is in charge of managing the highways. The IT department is in charge of supporting the other departments technology. I want to be a part of this company because it will help me further understand my knowledge in computers and technology as a whole. I would be able to use my problem-solving skills to help me figure out problems that need to be resolved in a short period of time. I am very excited to intern in this company.
3. I would like to intern at Appfolio as a computer scientist because I would be able to collaborate with others to make the website the best it could look. I chose Appfolio because I am interested on how they create their webpages and understand how they find errors in their code. I have been on the fence about my future career, weather I want to go into computer science or neurology. This will help me find out what I really want to do. With my little experience, I think that I would be able to learn a lot from this internship.
I’m looking forward to actually experience working. My expectation of working is probably way different than what it will actually be, so I am very much looking forward to that. Another thing that I’m excited about is the experience that I will receive from it. I am not fully experienced with computer science, but I am looking forward to learning and understanding what code does what.
I want to apply the skill of being adaptable. This year I feel like even though I had a packed schedule I was able to manage my time and get the work done when I needed to. A skill I want to try and strengthen is time management. I am very bad at managing my time within the classroom and home. So I am hoping I will get a solid understanding on how to change myself to become a better student who can manage their time.
