As an intern, I discover a lot of new skills, experiences, and knowledge. I gain firsthand experience in a professional setting and learn how to work within a team. I also get to experience the challenges and successes of my field, and learn how to use my skills to solve problems. By working in a professional setting, I am able to build my communication, leadership, and critical thinking skills. Additionally, I get to network with other professionals, build strong relationships, and gain insight into different career paths.
