Spring Discussion

Similar to the fall semester, this semester as an LHSI intern, I participated in the spring discussion board. In the online discussion, I was asked to reflect about my experience so far and the impact of the internship on my future career choice. One of the experiences which I discussed in depth was understanding myself as a professional and reflecting on what I want my future career to look like. Many other interns shared similar experiences and it made me feel happy that despite the a global pandemic related uncertainties, me an d my fellow interns have grown as professionals and progressed on our career planning. Another aspect of the spring discussion was thinking about workplace culture and what we may want our ideal job to be like. It was useful to start thinking about workplace culture because that is a huge part in determining career happiness. Prior to the discussion, I have never really paid attention to the workplace culture around me. Now I am more aware of the workplace culture around me in this internship as well as through my other roles. This thinking will help me choose my future career and the environment I want to work in more carefully.
