Since my internship has officially ended, I will use this last blog post to reflect on my experience at the Massachusetts Advocates For Children in Boston. Through the privilege of serving at the organization this summer, I have gained new skills that will be invaluable to me moving forward. I am excited to share my…

Farewell to RMS, on to Senior Year
Overall, interning for the Red Cross has been a fascinating experience. Although it was not my first choice of an internship, I gained appreciation for a work-life balance, developed new technical skills in Excel and SurveyMonkey, and learned about how to improve networking connections. This summer I worked on time management. I’m not going to…

This summer has been a whirlwind of fun, learning, and personal growth for me. My program consisted of taking three classes over the course of five weeks in Munich, Germany: one week spent learning German, two weeks learning about the design of sustainable energy systems, and the last two weeks learning about the potential of…
A letter to July 3rd Sam
Dear Sam, There’s really nothing to worry about in the next five weeks, so live it up. The classes can be tough at times, but it’s nothing you can’t handle. You’re going to learn more about different types of car fuels than you previously thought possible, especially since they teach it in both of the…
My Beautiful Light German Fantasy Life
At this point in my life, I’d be lying if I said I knew where I would be or what I would be doing in five years. After spending 3 weeks in Munich though, I can say that ending up back here is far from off the table. If I were to come back,…
