Describe your internship project. What will you be doing? What will the final product look like? Which skills (academic, creative, technical) will you utilize and/or develop as you do the project? How will the project benefit the organization?
My project will consist of multiple mini-projects that will become a big one that will serve me and my time here as well as the office of the 80th assembly district. Most of my project will require research and a deep understanding of the issues our San Diego community is facing. Some skills that are needed and that I will develop are patience, being able to turn things in on time, reading facts and looking to find reliable resources of information and multitasking. Once my research is completed it will play a vital role that will seek the inequities of how some of our communities and neighborhoods are treated, it will also be able to be a supporter of whatever future legislation might come to be.
How do you see yourself growing or changing over the course of your internship?
I have been able to see the way that my fellow coworkers as well as the assemblyman keep track of what all of them need to do. I have been able to witness the moments of how they schedule their time and the way they interact with people as well as how they care about the problems that they might encounter, I have since gained a lot of respect for the hours and work I've seen these people do just to simply make sure that the work they do is not just good but great. From meeting with constituents, advocates, and people that understand the issues, they make sure that the craft of what they're doing is for the good of their constituents. I will have definitely grown in the matter of how to plan for my time and be able to want to pursue something that I care about.
