This specific lab is the Department of Entomology, where they research and study bugs and other invasive insects.&nbsp;<br><br>The department of entomology works on a lot of different projects that involves identifying and dissecting different insects to identify diseases and their bodily functions.&nbsp;<br>During this internship, I worked on an insect called the Emerald Ash Bor. I've stained slides with the insect's "body parts" on them and put them under a microscope to identify the different organisms. I also identified different types of ticks that either people or health departments sent in to determine if they are the types of ticks that carried Lyme disease.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

The main focus is the helping children develop doing different daily activities.&nbsp;<br><br>I recommend this internship to someone who actually like kids and had a lot of patience. Patience is the key to this job because every child is different and behaves different so it takes time. Also, it can get messy. If you can't control your frustrations then this job is definitely not for you.&nbsp;<br><br>I like this internship because I love kids. Although there may be minor problems with behavior which is normal because they are learning how to express themselves. I love watching the kids develop and get better with skills and learn new things. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Carnaval de Tlaxcala is a Mexican dance from the small state of Tlaxcala. This dance is a dance to mock the Spaniards when they came to colonize Mexico. During their time in Mexican land, they would dance, laugh, and have a good time, but they wouldn’t let us Mexicans watch. Now, in this time period, we dance to mock them. The people that dance are called "Los Charros".&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><br>How Los Charros Dress Up: It depends on the color of your costume, but for the basic costume they usually wear a white shirt, white pants, a black vest, a manila shawl cape topped with sequins, a French face mask with fringes on the forehead, leather boots topped with tubes of the same material, a whip, leather gloves, a wide-brimmed hat, and a round, dressed in a velvet cloth and adorned with multicolored feathers that form a Teotihuacan-type plume, and by a rose window of multicolored ribbons with a mirror in the center. The meaning of the suit is the Matlalcueitl mountain spewing clouds that give rain on a full moon and watering the field, making flowers and rainbows sprout.<br><br></div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

Many leaders of great statures have attended Morehouse such as, Martin L. King Jr.&nbsp;<br>Spike Lee<br>Samuel L. Jackson and many more.<br><br>Graduation rate: 53%<br>Acceptance rate: 65%<br>Size: 66 acres.&nbsp;<br><br>The reasoning of why Morehouse is on my list of colleges is because during my college tour I was very hesitant visiting the college mostly due to the fact that it was all men however when I expereinced the scene of Morehouse and met the students I felt like I was home and I felt the warmth of the brotherhood they have their at Morehouse. I believe it’ll be a good fit for me to better myself as I get older and become a Man in my adulthood. I also think it’ll really allow me to analyze who I am as a Black Man in America.&nbsp;<br><br>Another fact about Morehouse is that Spelman &amp; Clark University are both next to it so yes you are a student at Morehouse however you can attend programs at Clark, and even parties at Clark or Spelman.<br><br>I’ve also learned that every Morehouse man gets a Spelman sister (both in their freshmen year) so that they can both gain experience in the college life together.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

This college is on my list because of its size and location and because of its course offerings in music and religion, two fields I am interested in.&nbsp;I also like the politically active culture at Wesleyan and the dedication the students have to social causes and activism. I think this school is a good fit for me because of its location, size, and environment. Upon researching more, I learned that Wesleyan offers an extensive program to study world music. Music students at Wesleyan can participate in ensembles such as West African Drumming, Javanese Gamelan, and South Indian Vocal, among many others.  </div>]]></description>

The IT department deals with all the technology for all New Haven Public schools K-12. They do a lot of behind the scenes work like Security, Powerschool information, website work and much more. Most of the things you do digitally at NHA are ran by the Networking team at Central Office. For example NHBOE and eduroam networks are all run by IT, eduroam is also a program that allows you to save your information even while not being in the area. I enjoyed going to middle schools and learning/helping the teachers and students with technology issues. This is where I see myself in the future.</div>]]></description>

I worried about whether I had performed well enough to get admitted for a week before learning the information. This summer I intend to continuously prove why I deserve my scholarship while also having fun every step of the way. I'm particularly eager to learn about hip-hop culture and experience what it can add to my dancing career.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>138 Bradley St, New Haven, CT 06511<br><br>Bicycle Co-op is a great place for you to get your community service hours from. It’s a great activity to do for the summer because it’s recommended that you get at least 10 community service hours every school year. You should know graduation requires 40 hours of community service. At bicycle co-op all thats required to gain hours is to help fix bikes so it shouldn’t be that big of a problem&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>I would really recommend this because I live close to it and its easy for hours especially if you have none, I would say you could make a lot over the summer at here or even during school. Also I would recommend it to someone who doesn’t mind getting their hands dirty and knows their way around a bike. You could go right after school as it’s literally right up the street from New Haven Academy and you could get at least 4 hours almost everyday after school. I’m definitely going there because I still need a lot of hours and definitely gonna be screwed if i don’t have most of them done by senior year. I also really like bikes and fixing them up is nothing new to me. I don’t mind getting my hands dirty at all and I know how to work most tools with ease. That’s what i’ll be doing all summer.</div>]]></description>

This college is a very good fit for everyone due to its welcoming campus, great professors and accomplished students. This is also a good balance between not being too close to Connecticut but also kind of far, this is great because it allows students to be independent but also allows you to fall back to your family in Connecticut.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>
