WHO WERE YOU THE NIGHT BEFORE YOU STARTED YOUR INTERNSHIP? WHAT’S CHANGED?
The night before the internship, I did not really know what I was doing and what I would get out of this experience, but I expected to learn everything through this internship. After working at Y2Y, I learned that learning does not stop. I was only skimming the top of a deep matter that I still have so much to learn about. Through this experience, I learned that I want to continue to help the community and no matter where I go, I want to participate in more non-profits. If I were to go back in time to see me before this started, I would tell myself to be more organized and don’t be afraid to get help when I need it, as I did go through some personal issues during this time. Overall, even with some problems, I am proud of myself as I pushed myself to learn about something that I did not know a lot about and is an important problem that is not often talked about. Although I still have a long way to go in learning, I will continue to put my efforts into educating myself about important issues that affect our society.

IS THERE AN ENDPOINT TO LEARNING AT YOUR JOB? DO YOU WANT THERE TO BE?
No, there is no end point in learning at Y2Y as this non-profit works with many different individuals to solve a very big problem that is still occurring today. Every single person walking into Y2Y has a different experience, where it is impossible to learn everything about every single experience. Also, homelessness is a very serious problem that so many people go through, but it is not talked about often. It is something that I continue to learn about, proceeding my work at Y2Y. I’m not sure how it would be possible to even have an endpoint in learning. There is always something new to learn about and I don’t see how it is possible to determine that endpoint. |
