My only hopes for internship are to not fail. I feel like this could easily be messed up & although I feel I am responsible enough to handle it, I'm not entirely sure if I'm emotionally ready for something as important as the equivalent to an actual job. I think that would be my fear. My dreams for internship, keeping in mind that dreams hardly ever come true, are to actually make a difference. The organization I'm working with, SEEDS (Self Esteem Education & Development in Sexuality), really helps people & that is something that I'd like to try to do, whether its working with one person individually or helping teach the SEEDS curriculum, I just want to actually change something. As of yet I have no specific project within the organization & therefore no specific job description. I also have not met anyone working in the SEEDS facility but my mentor has given me a good impression & I hope vice versa. I had originally wanted to work with another organization similar to SEEDS but I've found that SEEDS has a more specific focus when it comes to the needs of the intellectually disabled youth & I believe that this is good practice for something I may want to pursue later in life.
