Internship -Life Outside High School Reflections

1. Describe your view of life beyond high school.

There are several different paths I could take after high school. The primary step following high school is definitely college. Without a proper education, I highly doubt I'll be able to find as many opportunities. Any UC (University of California) school would be preferable, though many other colleges would equally suffice.

2. What questions do you have about our world? What do you wonder about? What are you moved to go out and do or learn about on your own time?

I often wonder about the many different functions of the human body. I always question diseases and sicknesses. I wonder the millions of factors that contribute to their spread, and the factors to combat them as well. I also always question human behavior and interaction. I'm intrigued in the way that humans react to certain things, and how certain personalities act differently.

3. In terms of work or a profession, based on my current interests and opportunities, a job in the medical field would be my ambition. Specialty is still debatable, but any type of job in medicine would be preferable.

4. To achieve my current goals, there's definitely a number of steps to take before reaching them. I know that my first prerequisite is education. No doctor can be licensed without proper education. The school itself is an enormous obstacle in itself, as an additional decade in school can be excessive.

5. What qualities or characteristics did you see in the people around you that you want to develop in yourself? Why?

The one quality I'd like to improve in myself would be productivity and initiative. I see so many people with great work ethic, who never seem to exude a stressful attitude. This is one thing I highly seek.

6. How do interpersonal relationships and/or collaboration influence your understanding of life outside of high school?

It's said that with experience comes knowledge. Being able to learn from my experience, and especially mistakes, will allow me to know what to do in many encounters.
