1. My name is: Olivia Gorski

2. I interned at: Chatham High School with Mrs. Ryan-Martin

3. My internship experiences was: fun and preparative

4. Describe your role and responsibilities during your internship: grading assignments using rubrics, formatting documents, setting up and executing labs, and observing classes.

5. Describe how you think CHS prepared you for your internship: Since I stayed in the high school, with a teacher that I know very well, there wasn't much for me to learn off the bat. I already knew most of the material from taking the class myself, so I would say this is the best way CHS prepared me.

6. What did you love about your internship OR what is most memorable about your experience?: I really loved being able to see the other side of things as a teacher rather than a student. As a student, you never see the behind the scenes of all the preparation teachers do prior to class. Being able to experience this really made me gain an appreciation for everything teachers do for their students.

7. Who would be a good candidate for this internship in the future? What qualities/skills/interests are important to have?: I think the best candidate for this internship would be anyone planning to become a teacher themselves. I am majoring in secondary education on a life science track next year so I knew this would be the perfect internship for me. It is a great way to pre-expose yourself to what your day to day life would be like. I would say that confidence, communication, and patience are necessary qualities for this internship.

8. Any last thoughts or reflections about your internship you want to share?: Overall, this past month has been a really positive experience for me, and I would highly recommend it to anyone that is considering becoming a teacher too!

1. My name is: Meghan Sabin

2. I interned at: Mariner Wealth Advisors

3. My internship experience was (one or more words to describe it): incredible and I believe it has really helped prepare me for work in the future.

4. Describe your role and responsibilities during your internship: I had many different responsibilities during the four weeks of my internship. The first week was more of a learning week for me where I would read through articles about the market and the economy and I learned how to navigate the software programs they use here at Mariner such as eMoney, Orion, and Salesforce. After I learned the basics, I would help out by running reports on Orion, organizing the information from those reports on an excel spreadsheet, updating clients’ financial information in eMoney, and scanning and filing documents from Fidelity and Schwab. I was also given the opportunity to experiment with the financial planning software they use by building the foundation of a financial plan for an imaginary couple. I later used the information I learned from this exercise to help update my parent’s financial plan.

5. Describe how you think CHS prepared you for your internship: I would have been completely lost at this internship if it weren’t for the AP Economics and financial literacy courses offered at Chatham High School. There were a lot of things I had to learn about financial planning during my first week of internship, but those classes provided me with a solid foundation of information that made it easier to learn the more intricate details of the finance world.

6. What did you love about your internship OR what is most memorable about your experience? One of the things I loved most about my internship was how professional and important I felt while working there. It is one of the only things I have ever participated in that I believe will help prepare me for a career in the future. I have never worked in an office setting before nor have I spent so much time on a computer, but this internship at Mariner gave me experience with both. Every day I interned here, I felt like I was doing something meaningful which was extremely validating. In addition to the experience itself, I also really loved the people I had the pleasure of meeting. Everybody was so incredibly kind and welcoming, and I’m going to miss seeing these people in the office every day.

7. Who would be a good candidate for this internship in the future? What qualities/skills/interests are important to have?  In order to achieve success and enjoyment from an internship at Mariner, you must be practical, detail-oriented, willing to learn, and good with excel spreadsheets. Additionally, it is important to be passionate about finance and financial planning or to at least have some interest in the subject. Some of the work that needs to be completed here is tedious and not the most thrilling, but if you enjoy the subject material, it can be really cool and interesting.

This included reading 3 plays, creating a glossary for Macbeth, and creating a viewer's guide for Enchanted April by researching and finding articles and images relevant to the play. However, weeks 2, 3, and 4 were very different, as I spent a to of my time loading the set into the vans, loading it into the theater, putting the set up, hanging the lights, taking apart the outdoor stage, cleaning the theater and the shop, and doing many more tasks that a stagehand might do.

5.

Most of the work I did was in a group, so being able to work with other people is very important. Also, the head of the technical theater department had a health emergency and has been out for 2 weeks, so many of the things we did we had to do without him, which was very scary as he is the one who knows exactly what to do and such.

6. What did you love about your internship OR what is most memorable about your experience? The thing I loved the most was the people I worked with. I loved working with so many interesting and different people who had so many funny and cool stories and who were so helpful and understanding. I will miss them and they are so awesome.

7. Who would be a good candidate for this internship in the future? What qualities/skills/interests are important to have? A good candidate is someone who loves theater, as you will be spending most of your time reading plays, hanging around a theater, and talking to people who love theater about theater. Also, you need to be hard-working, responsible, on time, respectful, and you need to be open to doing a little bit of everything.

8. Any last thoughts or reflections about your internship you want to share? (if not, do not include in your video) It was an amazing time and I made some great memories so I hope someone does this internship in the future. Also, you will make some great connections that you can definitely use in the professional theater world.

1. I am Marianna Zingone!

2. I interned at Contain Yourself Gardening!

3. My internship was so much fun!

4. My responsibilities during my internship were to act as Mrs. Peebles extra set of hands! Typically we helped pack/unpack her truck with plants for the day! Then, we would unpack flowers at the client’s house and move plants into their relative location. After, we would pull out old plants/arrangements and prep pots for planting. Later, we would clean up and water the arrangements. By the last few weeks, we were also planting arrangements on our own!

5. The flower arrangements may be totally glamorous (however, for the most part, the steps to get there may be less so)! Chatham may have not “taught” me how to garden, but it has definitely taught me the attitude needed to garden! Flexibility, out of the box thinking, and an open mind are all things I learned during my time at Chatham that have allowed me to not bat an eye when approached with carrying a heavy, soaking-wet bag of soil or when an ant colony is unearthed in a pot!

6. I loved that my internship was always changing and that everyday was a new adventure!  I got to visit a lot of cool places (a penthouse in Jersey City or the Weichert Estate to name a few!) and meet many new (very nice) people! Plus, the plants and flowers were gorgeous!

7. Anyone who loves being outside and isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty would be perfect for this internship! Also, anyone who doesn’t mind lifting heavy plants or bags of soil and who isn’t afraid of bugs would also be a perfect fit!

8. I had such a fun time at Contain Yourself! Mrs. Peebles is an awesome boss (and her dog Hazel too :)  )!

It is very important to know how to hold a conversation with people and I think CHS helped me with that. I also think CHS taught me how to have a good work ethic. I always was asking for more things to do and trying my hardest in each and everything that I completed.

6. What did you love about your internship OR what is most memorable about your experience? Talking to the kids and being able to help them when they were at their lows was very memorable. Some of these children just needed some love since they most likely did not get that at home, and it was adorable when they perked up and all a sudden felt better. Taking care of their wounds and giving them reassurance are equally important in my opinion.

7. Who would be a good candidate for this internship in the future? What qualities/skills/interests are important to have? A student who has a passion for working with children and wants to maybe go into medicine. They need to be caring and have a lot of patience. It is extremely fun though and an amazing place to intern.

CHS prepared me for my internship by teaching me both artistic skills which I was able to use during the internship while also teaching me skills of flexibility as we did very different tasks everyday. It also prepared me by even just letting me take many art classes which helped me get to know the art teachers themselves and the way around the art room.

1. What did you love about your internship OR what is most memorable about your experience?

What I loved about my internship was being able to set up the art show and see all the artworks from so many different grade levels. A memorable moment was during that art show when you could see all the families of the artists come in and admire the works.

I think it’s important to have patience because especially in this place where people are a little older and can’t hear you. You need to take a breath and not get overly frustrated.

1. My name is: Jack Foley

2. I interned at: New Jersey Youth Symphony (NJYS)

3. My internship experience was (one or more words to describe it): informative and pragmatic because the skills I learned were not just applicable to the field of classical music but to any type of job.

4. Describe your role and responsibilities during your internship: I mainly helped with the audition process for NJYS which included greeting students at the door, making sure they were prepared/had all the right materials, walked them to a practice room, comforted them, and then walked them to their auditions. With the audition process, I had to then organize the scores by adding together the component parts then upload them to the scores database so that the NJYS staff could then make a decision on the right ensemble for a student. I also worked in their music library, which was my favorite place, and this included responsibilities such as organizing and copying music from the previous and upcoming seasons.

5. Describe how you think CHS prepared you for your internship: CHS prepared me well by having a lot of the classes be interactive with other students and people in general, whether this be group projects or class discussions because a lot of my internship required me to work well with other people and have the social skills to make sure the auditions run smoothly.

6. What did you love about your internship OR what is most memorable about your experience? I loved working in the music library because I am a big fan of classical music at heart, so being able to look at the plethora of music was a really fun time. I also found the process of copying therapeutic and cathartic; plus, I could have a fun time listening to music as I did it.

7. Who would be a good candidate for this internship in the future? What qualities/skills/interests are important to have? An ideal candidate for this internship would be someone who has a background in music, especially of an orchestra. This helps a lot with the music library because anyone who works there should know how to read music to make sure the copying goes well. Another skill that is important is good social skills because everyone who is helping out with auditions wants to make sure that all auditionees feel welcome and calm in our facility, and we want to make sure that the process runs smoothly.

8. Any last thoughts or reflections about your internship you want to share? I will say that the hours are not great for this internship because a lot of the time they will be in the afternoon/evening depending on the day, so anyone who may want to check this out should feel comfortable with those types of hours. I will say it was also great because I got to sleep in everyday, a rare luxury that I was almost never afforded at CHS.

1. My name is Risha Surana.

2. I interned at the Physics Department at Chatham High School with Mr. Bandel.

3. My internship experience was fun and engaging.

4. My roles and responsibilities included grading final projects, setting up labs and demos, and helping out the four teachers with whatever they needed. I also started a project to organize the physics classrooms and prep room which was really fun because I got to test different equipment. One task included sorting over a thousand small resistors based on band colors. Another task included looking through old student projects and deciding which ones were the best to keep for future years.

5. CHS helped prepare me for this internship by offering the ability to be a lab assistant during the year, so I had a lot of the skills that I needed to do well during the longer internship. This including knowing how to post grades on Genesis and being familiar with the classroom set up. Also, taking design and technology classes at CHS were helpful, because I could assist students with their final Conquer the Hill project and could use the band saws and drill presses in the tech room to cut pegboard for student projects.

6. What was most memorable about my experience was finally being able to see the behind-the-scenes of all the demos that I had seen while taking physics during my sophomore and junior year. I also got to see a lot of demonstrations that I didn’t see before, such as a pencil launcher to study friction or a set of pendulums to study waves. While I definitely wasn’t the best physics student in high school, I’ve grown to really love the subject now that I’ve been able to see it from a teacher’s perspective.

7. A good candidate for this internship would be someone who enjoyed taking physics at CHS. It’s important to be a self-starter, communicative, and responsible. You also have to enjoy organizing a lot.

8. Overall, I really enjoyed my internship. It went by really fast, and I’ll be coming back during the last week of school to help run the tournaments for the final project!

1. My name is: Azra Ozan

2. I interned at: Jag-One Physical Therapy

3. My internship experiences was (one or more words to describe it): informational and filled with hands on opportunities. The Physical Therapist described his full time experience as ‘Thought Provoking’ which I also wanted to include.

4. Describe your role and responsibilities during your internship:

My roles and responsibilities during my internship consisted of helping my mentor and essentially observing what he does throughout the day. I usually also helped the aides with their jobs such as doing the laundry, putting away equipment, and giving patients ice/heating devices. My favorite responsibility was of course  getting to interact with the patients, and since my internship was a very hands-on experience, I got to do this quite a lot. It was especially very interesting to learn about everyone's different personalities and backstories.

5. Describe how you think CHS prepared you for your internship:

I do think that CHS prepared me for my internship because in school every teacher made us do group projects and interact with our peers/classmates very often which helped me build up a lot of confidence, and that level of interaction really prepared me to be much more comfortable talking to patients who I did not know, it felt very natural.

6. What did you love about your internship OR what is most memorable about your experience?

As I stated, my favorite aspects of my internship were how hands-on and interactive it was! I got to interact with so many patients, and my favorite story of one of the patients was actually when they told me they were a pediatric neurologist, which is the field I want to go into, and they answered so many of my questions about the career itself. So getting to learn from not only my mentors but also the patients were extremely interesting! A funny memory was when the entire therapy center was trying to solve riddles together, which will always make me laugh because some of them were so frustrating, which just made it hilarious to see everyone trying to work together to solve them.

7. Who would be a good candidate for this internship in the future? What qualities/skills/interests are important to have?

A good candidate for this internship in the future would be anyone who wants to go into the medical field and has an interest in this major (which is Physical Therapy). To specifically quote my mentor, qualities or skills that are important to have is that a person needs to know how to work with people, with coworkers, and in this specific case, patients. Skills that are important to have as an employed person consist of being a people person in this field, because you are interacting with so many people on a day-to-day basis, you need to know how to communicate with them), and have active listening skills. You also need to be committed to your work, as it should be something you are interested in. Finally, you obviously need to stick by the ethical rules of the field itself, which is probably the most important aspect.

1.  Emma Battiato
2.  I interned at Lafayette Avenue School, with my fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Marshall. I was a student here, myself in the 2013-2014 school year.
3. My internship experience was Fun and super engaging.
4. During my internship, I worked with fourth grade students, and helped out with many things. From walking the kids to elective classes, grading homework, to helping out with lessons, it was so much fun to get to know the kids and see what it's like to be in the classroom as an older student, and to see how different things are here from the high school.
5. CHS helped me prepare for my internship by making sure I stayed on top of my assignments, always handed in my work, and was accountable for my actions and attendance.
6. The thing I loved most about my internship was getting to spend time with my own fourth grade teachers and being able to witness what fourth grade is like as a student that has already gone through that year, but more than five years later. It was interesting to see how things have both changed and stayed the same in the school as a whole, but also in individual classrooms. It was also a lot of fun to be like one of the teachers for a few weeks.
7. Someone who likes children, works well with others, and is interested in helping others learn would be really great for this position. Considering the kids are only 9 or so years old, sometimes they can get a little rowdy, but you have to be able to just laugh it off and move on. In the end, it is so much fun to be a part of lessons, get to know each student, and also get to see teachers that I haven't seen in a while again!
Overall, I had such a great experience working with Mrs. Marshall at Lafayette Avenue School, and I wish I could’ve stayed longer!

C: My internship experience was interesting and fun.

D: During my internship, my role was mainly a teacher's aid and my responsibilities included helping students with work, making copies and printing papers for the teacher, leading the students to and from different classes, and sometimes staying with them during their specials to provide support.

E: CHS prepared me for this internship through the early childhood development class. In that class, we learned how young children, including school age children, developed socially, physically, and mentally. During the last days of that class, I went to SBS to observe the same class I would intern with. Those observation days prepared me for what the class would be like and how the students would behave.

F: The thing I loved the most about my internship was the bond I made with some of the students. The students liked me and they would always chat with me during their snack break and ask me questions about high school and even some silly questions like who my crush was and if I was 9 feet tall.

G: Skills that are important to have for an internship in an elementary school are patience, the ability to follow directions, and the ability to communicate if something changes. I think that anyone with these skills that is interested in elementary education would be a good candidate for this type of internship.

1. My name is: Grace Tortorella

2. I interned at Washington Avenue School in Mrs.Kressler’s kindergarten class.

3. My internship experience was unique and incredible.

4. My main role throughout my internship was to be of help to the students whenever they needed something. Whether they were falling behind the group during guided classwork, struggling to read a word, or even just needed something silly like a band-aid, I was able to be an extra resource for the students. I was also able to aid Mrs.Kressler and her para Mrs.Cody with tasks such as the bulletin boards, read-alouds in class, and making copies.

5. I think CHS prepared me for my internship in two ways. One is it helped me learn how to develop connections and communicate with others which was helpful when I met so many new people. The second was through my early childhood development class with Ms.Schmitter because prior to my internship I was able to make three visits to Washington Ave and visit Ms.Finn’s kindergarten class. This gave me a head start to my internship and made me more comfortable once I arrived at Mrs.Kressler's room.

6. What I loved most about my internship was my connections with the students. I really was able to get to know all twenty of them individually over my time there. On my last day the students surprised me with cards which they each came over to read to me. This was very special to me and made me feel like I had impacted them in some way and had done a good job with my time there.

7. I believe anyone with an interest in teaching or who enjoys working with children would be a good candidate for this internship. This internship requires patience and structure in addition to the ability to go with the flow and allow the children to be themselves.

8. This was an incredible opportunity that reassured my intentions of wanting to be a teacher and I’m incredibly thankful that I had the opportunity to spend time on Washington Ave.

2. I interned at: Gingham Giraffe

3. My internship experiences was (one or more words to describe it): Fun and Entertaining

4. Describe your role and responsibilities during your internship: As an intern, my responsibilities were to assist the teachers and students with their schoolwork and to act as an extra set of hands around the classroom. I read a story every day to the students and taught a portion of the class called “calendar”, where we went over the date and weather that day.

5. Describe how you think CHS prepared you for your internship: CHS prepared me for my internship by giving me the perspective of a student. I have never been a teacher before, so while I was at Gingham, I was able to understand why sometimes students were not motivated to do their work, and I could use my experience as a student to try to get the best out of them.

6. What did you love about your internship OR what is most memorable about your experience?

I loved all of the people at Gingham Giraffe. From the very first day, the teachers in my classroom were welcoming and made me feel like one of them. The students were such great kids and I loved getting to know them and hang out with them everyday.
7. Who would be a good candidate for this internship in the future? What qualities/skills/interests are important to have?

To do this internship, you definitely need to have some patience and communication skills. Some days, the kids just don’t want to do anything and you have to understand that they are young kids and they won’t do anything they don’t want to. I learned that you have to be a strong communicator to make them understand why they need to focus and complete their work, so individuals with these skills would be perfect for this internship.
8. Any last thoughts or reflections about your internship you want to share? (if not, do not include in your video)

In conclusion, I loved my time at Gingham Giraffe. I don’t think there was another internship opportunity that I would’ve enjoyed more, so thank you for having me.

1. My name is: Kylie McGlynn

2. I interned at: Milton Avenue School with Mr.V as a physical education and health teacher

3. My internship experiences was (one or more words to describe it): Very rewarding and exciting

4. Describe your role and responsibilities during your internship: During the 4 weeks, I helped Mr. V set up activities for the students, supervised them,  and played games with them. When I was in the health classroom, I helped with activities, distributed papers, and checked the students’ work. The end of the school year came with bonus activities such as field day and the Milton Mile. I worked the 🤬 station on Field Day and helped figure out a course for the mile.

5. Describe how you think  CHS prepared me by helping me create bonds and connections between the students and myself. At the high school, I’ve created connections with teachers, so being the teacher at Milton helped switch the roles, High school itself helped shape me into a more punctual student which in turn benefitted me with time management at work, as well as making me a more communicative person which is essential for working with younger students.

6. What did you love about your internship OR what is most memorable about your experience?: I loved the connections that were made between the students and myself. It was rewarding to see them start to trust me and take interest in my life. For example, I had students draw things for me in health class and would ask me about my ongoing lacrosse season. Just being back at Milton one last time and seeing the same teachers that I used to have 10 years before was so fun.

7. Who would be a good candidate for this internship in the future? What qualities/skills/interests are important to have?:  Definitely someone with a lot of patience, communication skills, enthusiasm, and listening skills. As much as I was helping Mr. V, I was also helping the students too. It was important to have patience with them because they are much younger than us and to fully hear and listen to them when they had questions or just comments. It is important to make personal connections or similarities with the kids because I found that that’s something they do very often. To take part in this specific internship, you would need to be interested in sports/physical education, as we were constantly playing games and working on strength.

8.  Any last thoughts or reflections about your internship you want to share? (if not, do not include in your video): The senior internship program was a great learning experience and definitely rewarding. I wouldn’t have wanted to end my senior year any other way.

1. My name is: Gisele Urashima

2. I interned at: Southern Boulevard School and Milton Avenue School with Mrs. Forte (ESL teacher)

3. My internship experience was (one or more words to describe it): gratifying and eye-opening because I was a part of the kids’ developmental and acclimation process, and I also met kids with different backgrounds.

4. Describe your role and responsibilities during your internship: My main role was to assist Mrs. Forte, but I also organized books in the library and helped the Design and Technology teacher when my mentor was absent. At the beginning, I would just observe my mentor and help out the kids with spelling out words, getting them to talk more, and brainstorming ideas for a story. As I got more acquainted with them and knew their individual needs and interests, I was able to plan out lessons and activities based on that. Lessons varied from playing Simon Says with the kindergarteners at Milton Avenue to writing my own story as a sample for second graders, creating word searches and crossword puzzles, and coming up with a listening activity for the first graders.

5. Describe how you think CHS prepared you for your internship: By taking AP classes, I learned the value of staying on top of everything and how it all pays off in the end. At my internship, whenever I was asked to complete something, I would have it done as soon as possible. During my time at CHS, I also improved my organization skills by using all the resources available on Google Drive; with that, I was able to create easy-to-read lesson plans and share folders for the kids with Mrs. Forte.

6. What did you love about your internship OR what is most memorable about your experience? The relationship I built with Mrs. Forte and the kids is the most memorable part about my experience. In between classes, she would share her past experiences with me, what it took her to get to where she is now, and any information that she thought would be useful for me to know about her students. She always emphasized the importance of speaking one’s native language at home to maintain fluency in more than one language, and that value really stuck with me. I was delighted to see how fast the kids got comfortable with me and opened up to me that even the quietest one let his shyness aside when I was around. I loved getting to know each and every one of them because of their different personalities and cultures. They also never failed to put a smile on my face or make me laugh; they would always have something to amaze me with. At the end, it was very hard to say bye, knowing that I wouldn’t see them everyday anymore.

7. Who would be a good candidate for this internship in the future? What qualities/skills/interests are important to have? Someone who is diligent, open-minded, curious, empathetic, patient, proactive, and adaptable would be a great candidate for this internship in the future. The person needs to be willing to learn about other cultures and understand that everyone is different. Working with kids whose first language isn’t English can sometimes be a challenge, but you need to be patient and understand that they’re trying their best to communicate with you. You’ll also never know what they have been through to get to America, so that is also something to consider when you’re interacting with them.

8. Any last thoughts or reflections about your internship you want to share? (if not, do not include in your video) I’d recommend this internship to anyone who is interested in going into the education field and is passionate about learning about the world.

6. What did you love about your internship OR what is most memorable about your experience? I loved working and forming relationships with the kids during my internship. Kids are open about their appreciation and it is obvious when they are having fun, so being able to help them is very rewarding.

I basically did a large amount of the DC work so she was able to care for the other students. I put together bags for every bus, packed backpacks for every chaperone, packed and organized each first aid kit, and went out and bought the supplies needed for the big nurse’s bag. I packed the sinch sacks full of epipens and inhalers and medicine that was needed on a daily basis. I also helped Nurse Butler go through each individual person’s medicine and make sure that they packed the correct medication, the correct amount of medication, and specified what time of day they needed to take it. After the DC trip, I helped Nurse Butler organize the supply closet and helped the kids who came into the nurse’s office.

1. As much as I loved meeting new people and helping others when they were sick or injured, I most loved working with Nurse Butler.

She showed me what a great nurse looks like, and I will always remember the composure she showed when crazy situations occurred.

7. Who would be a good candidate for this internship in the future? What qualities/skills/interests are important to have?

1. A good candidate would be someone who is interested in the nursing field and has good social skills. Being in the nurse’s office, you meet different people everyday and need to be able to interact with everyone.

1. My name is Alicia Soman
2. I interned at Chatham High School with Dre Mendoza
3. My internship was educational and fun
4. During my internship, I served as an aid and shadow for Dre. I would help around the classroom with athletes coming in school for rehabilitation, while additionally learning information on creating exercise routines, anatomy, first aid, and even sports photography. After school, we would help with some of the first aid responsibilities that the school athletes require
5. CHS serves as a background for the information we need in our professional lives. It's always exciting to see and learn what you've been taught in class being applied in the real world. Whenever Dre asked us to research a thing or two, it was relieving to draw from my experience and supplement my research with information I already know.
6. What I loved most about my internship was going to the girls lacrosse games to help. While getting useful information about how to splint patients or learning how to use a tourniquet, I also got to enjoy the last games the girls played. Seeing how Dre bonded with these kids and supported them both with their health and emotionally was really inspiring!
7. Students looking to learn more about athletic training would be perfect for this internship. As a student looking to enter the medical field, I also really benefited from this experience. I think that it's important to have an open mind and an strong desire to learn. It's also important to be a good listener and really interested in getting to know the kids that come in.
8. I came into this internship a little bit confused on what direction I wanted to go in for careers. What I came out learning was that my interest in medicine is something I want to pursue, and I'm really grateful to have been given this opportunity in these last four weeks.

What qualities/skills/interests are important to have?: I think someone who knows business and marketing very well because a lot of the time I also helped to give marketing ideas. I never took a class on this kind of thing, so I think someone who knows how to do this well would be a good fit. I think someone who is also good with people would be a good fit for this business because customers always have questions/complaints, so you would need to be able to handle that.

There were a few days of my internship when the teacher I was interning with was absent and on those days I had the opportunity to run her classes on my own. I would consider these the most memorable experiences. For part of this, I also had the opportunity to craft my own lesson. I picked a topic of my choice and created a lesson that lasted about 25 minutes along with a documentary episode to accompany it, both pertaining to French cuisine, history, and gastronomy.

7. Who would be a good candidate for this internship in the future? What qualities/skills/interests are important to have?

Naturally, if a student was interested in interning with a language teacher, it would be important that they feel confident in their understanding of the language. They are no longer simply learning but they are teaching others. They need to be able to teach efficiently, while also inspiring others to be passionate about language. A candidate should also be personable and welcoming in order for a student to feel comfortable in a classroom.

My name is Owen McClintock

I interned at the Madison Area YMCA

My internship experiences were exciting and provided me with new ways to grow.

Describe your role and responsibilities during your internship:
During my internship, the other interns and I took on a multitude of responsibilities ranging from member integration, to leading classes, to organizing files, and even to simply decorating the Y.

Describe how you think CHS prepared you for your internship:
Being a student at CHS has taught me more than just how to succeed in the classroom, it has taught me how to be personable with all sorts of people who I may be unfamiliar with. This was a skill that helped a lot during my internship at the Y because I was constantly meeting and working with new people.

What did you love about your internship OR what is most memorable about your experience?
My most memorable part of the internship was being asked to play pickleball with the usual group of pickle enthusiasts. One or two days every week we would help out the sports department and assist in setting up for pickleball and checking everyone in. One day, the members asked me to play with them, and I did. Even though they were all over 50 years old, they still beat me by a landslide but it was an extremely fun experience.

Who would be a good candidate for this internship in the future? What qualities/skills/interests are important to have?
I would say that in the future anyone who is personable and willing to be patient to help out people would be a good candidate for this internship.

Any last thoughts or reflections about your internship you want to share? (if not, do not include in your video)

1. My name is Amelia Willmann.

2. I interned at Chatham Borough Hall.

3. My internship experience was memorable.

4. I had a lot of roles and responsibilities at my internship. I interned for the administrative assistant, so I assisted with anything and everything. I worked on the Chatham Boro website, and made online posters that were sent out to the Chatham community. I helped with the Block & Lot project, which was organizing and filing papers based on the block and lots assigned to the properties within Chatham. Additionally, I helped with the financial spreadsheets, block & lot spreadsheets, and public record paperwork spreadsheets. I  learned how to search for blocks & lots and the process of approving permits. One of the cooler tasks I was given was when I got to explore the archive room and look through old papers to find specific finance paperwork needed for a meeting. I also organized all of the important boro paperwork from previous years into a binder.

5. CHS prepared me for my internship by exposing me to essential work and life skills. Through many group projects, I learned how to work as a team and communicate effectively. The high school is fast-paced and has challenging classes, so you have to stay organized. These organizational skills assisted me when working for the borough. CHS also taught me how to problem solve. There were many scenarios in the borough when something didn’t fit a category, and there were many unique situations. I was prepared to brainstorm solutions to various problems and ways to handle situations. Furthermore, CHS also exposed me to spreadsheets and how to use them to organize information. This made it much easier when I was tasked with using spreadsheets to organize unfamiliar data.

6. At my internship, I loved the work environment. Not only was it welcoming, but I was included in the conversations and felt accepted. Although it can be a very stressful and time-sensitive job, the employees at the internship were amazing people. They balanced their work and prioritized their relationships with other employees. It was a community of people working to serve the Chatham community, and I enjoyed being a part of such a fun group of people.

7. A good candidate for this internship is someone who is curious and interested in learning. There were a lot of opportunities to learn about municipal government. Every timeI was asked to complete a task, the activity and importance of it was explained to me. Questions were encouraged, and I certainly learned a lot about the behind-the-scenes work I previously took for granted. The most important skill needed at this internship site was communication. Of course, communication skills are always important, but, at the Borough, everyone’s job relies on another. The responsibilities between employees are intertwined, so, to complete tasks, you have to be able to work together and effectively communicate your thoughts.

2. I interned at: Madison Area YMCA

3. My internship experiences was (one or more words to describe it): exciting.

4. Describe your role and responsibilities during your internship: My role varied almost daily. We worked with every department from the front desk, human resources, sports, Kid Central, the school-age aftercare program, we prepared for Summer Camp, and led a senior technology program.

5. Describe how you think CHS prepared you for your internship: As an intern at the YMCA, I had to adjust to a new role almost everyday. So being in school and adapting to various situations and circumstances, whether they were social or academic, prepared me for this internship.

6. What did you love about your internship OR what is most memorable about your experience?
The most memorable experience was the Senior technology class. The seniors were always so appreciative of us, and it was satisfying to assist people with their problems, even if they were as simple as setting up an email. Some seniors would bring rather complicated problems, and it was always fun to figure those out on the spot.

7. Who would be a good candidate for this internship in the future? What qualities/skills/interests are important to have?
To be an intern here, you must be both adaptable and personable. Being adaptable is important because your role is always changing here, and being personable is  important because almost every job here requires interacting with people.

8. Any last thoughts or reflections about your internship you want to share?
I would highly recommend doing a Senior Internship if given the opportunity!

3. My internship experience was (one or more words to describe it): Wonderful and fun!

4. Describe your role and responsibilities during your internship: Most of my duties were located at the main desk of the library. I would receive patrons and check in or out books. I also answered the phone, issued new library cards when needed, and cleared the book drop whenever it was full. Other tasks that occurred behind the scenes include unpacking and checking in book deliveries from other libraries (100+ books per day!), shelving new books, and other miscellaneous jobs.

5. Describe how you think CHS prepared you for your internship: Being able to handle a variety of people, whether they’re compliant or difficult, is something CHS has taught me well.

6. What did you love about your internship OR what is most memorable about your experience? I loved how welcoming and friendly everyone was at the library. I immediately felt like a part of their staff community and got to know them throughout my time working there. They never hesitated to help and guide me through questions and problems, and I’m very grateful I was able to work with such an amazing group of people!

7. Who would be a good candidate for this internship in the future? What qualities/skills/interests are important to have? You definitely need to have good social skills. Throughout the day, you’ll be interacting with people of varying ages and temperaments, so not everyone will be patient and kind. You also need to work well with other staff members and be open to doing any task you’ll be asked to perform.

8. Any last thoughts or reflections about your internship you want to share? (if not, do not include in your video) Before going into this internship, I thought a job at the library would be more calm, something that will allow me to wind down from the stress of school while helping out in a community at the same time. However, my preconceptions were wrong. There’s so much more work going on behind the scenes of the front desk, and it definitely is not laid back at all, BUT I enjoyed it very much nonetheless and had a lot of fun interning there! So the next time you walk into the library, please be kind to the staff and appreciate them, as the few seconds we see them working is not representative of how much effort and time they actually put into their jobs.

My name is Nena Pacchia

I interned at Chatham Middle School

My internship experience was very fun and valuable for my possible future career.

My role in the classes was to help the students with whatever they needed for their school work. I would help them understand how to do certain things or what some things meant. I was in two science classes, two social studies classes, one english class, and one learning skills class. In each one I was helping the kids in a different subject so there was a variety of things I helped them with every day. I also helped Mrs. Packie with her work like creating lesson plans or grading.

I think the high school prepared me well for this internship. I used not only the information I have learned the past four years to help these kids with their classes, but also the skills the high school has given me like the ability to work with others well and taking on higher roles of responsibility.

The most memorable thing about my experience will be the time I spent with one student in particular. He was always very lively so I had lots of fun with him, but it felt good knowing that I would help him get in his work everyday.

I think a good candidate for this internship would be someone who works well with kids and other people, is patient, and enjoys their time in a classroom.

My internship experience was (one or more words to describe it) Amazing

Describe your role and responsibilities during your internship:
Throughout the internship, the other interns and I had a variety of tasks to complete. We essentially did whatever needed to be done at the Y. Whether it was organizing closets, files, or even leading senior technology classes we were there to help.

Describe how you think CHS prepared you for your internship:
CHS prepared me for this internship through the hard work that is needed to be successful at high school. I have learned many different skills such as getting through problems, working with others in a group setting, and communicating with the teacher, who is similar to our boss at the Y.

What did you love about your internship OR what is most memorable about your experience?
My most memorable experience at the Y was the after school care with the K-5 students. Around 3:00-4:00 kids would come to the Y for after school and would play outside for about an hour. We were assigned to watching them and making sure everyone was safe and having fun. I enjoyed talking to them and hearing all the stories and things they were excited about and joining in on some games of kickball. I also enjoyed helping the seniors with their technology questions.

Who would be a good candidate for this internship in the future? What qualities/skills/interests are important to have? A good candidate for this internship in the future is someone who is very flexible and adaptable to whatever is thrown their way. Some days we had to organize files and make copies, and others we were playing  pickleball with senior citizens. It is a simple and fun internship if you have a good mindset.

5. Describe how you think CHS prepared you for your internship: CHS prepared me for my internship because it taught me how to apply the things I’ve learned to projects and things other than just notes and tests.
