What I learned from this internship experience was beyond what I had expected coming in. Not only did I get the opportunity of helping out the senior community, I was also able to enhance my communication and administration skills, which are both needed to advance in my chosen career. For instance, for one of my papers, I was required to interview a person whose career path was similar to what I have in mind. Through this internship, I was able to meet and interview the Center Director at John XXIII. This enabled me to challenge my interviewing skills, and also allowed me to get a glimpse of what my life could be like given that I will be choosing the same career path. Overall, being a Site Coordinator has contributed to my growth not only as a student but also as an individual whose responsibility lies in the community too.
