There are many reasons why I would like to participate in the Science Research Internship Program. Most notably I am interested in going into a career that is in the realm of science.

Lastly, the credits given are a amazing payout in which I would benefit greatly from now and in the future for my career.

At the time this was a hop skip and a leap out of my comfort zone. I feared that I would have to meet new people and was required to express myself in poetry to others that I had just meet. I knew that this was going to be very uncomfortable but knew that it would be a good thing for me to experience.

This experience and many others are what have encouraged me to apply for this internship. Of all the opportunities this could be the biggest one yet. I may have passed up other smaller opportunities because of my comfort zone and I greatly regret doing so. However, this Internship is something that I would be greatly disappointed in myself for not applying

    As each year in high school progressed, I found myself wanting to acquire more knowledge and learn about the world around me. To accomplish this, I signed up for college level classes.

    Up until high school, I have never experienced science as I did in a high school environment, specifically in DRS, where I fell in love with chemistry in 10th grade.

This love for the science influenced me to take upon myself the challenge of AP Chemistry. So far I have further developed and honed my skills. I have further ingrained in myself the idea to question everything.…

    The importance of an internship experience cannot be overstated. Today, employers favor prospective employees who have done not only one internship but multiple internships. A college education will serve to propel a graduate into a profession by conferring a degree, which demonstrates an academic proficiency in various theoretical and practical examples of ways that a job might be performed. An internship makes the classroom’s abstract theories and learned examples concrete by placing the student in a real life work situation with real live co-workers performing actual professional tasks, which the job encompasses. Therefore, the payoff of an unpaid internship is that you will gain invaluable professional experience, where you might…
