Ohio State Internship Analysis

Academically, I want to make the most of the incredible opportunity of receiving a higher education; however, I also hope to grow and develop as an individual. I will be also be joining the men's soccer team at Wofford College, which will present additional challenges as well as opportunities. College will undoubtedly present a plethora of new experiences and open a number of new doors and opportunities. I want to soak it all in and make the most of every minute. My ultimate dream is to work in a career that I feel passionate about. Ensuring that I feel strongly about my work is very important to me and I believe it is pivotal to maximizing my potential contribution to society. My greatest interest and passion currently lies in learning and better understanding politics, economics, sociology, and other social sciences. A career in public service is where I believe I can thrive and flourish. Whether it be in education, economics, healthcare, or any other outlet, I have no doubt public service is where I belong. Throughout my life, I have constantly looked to fulfill positions of leadership and I plan on continuing to do so in my professional life. As my generation becomes the leaders of America's future, I hope to be a leading figure that can assist in moving us in a promising

You must make connections to even get a job. To pass legislature, you must be patient and willing to talk to a lot of people one-on-one to get it done. Retail politics always comes in handy. When dealing with one person at a time, you must remember to focus on what issues affect them and what is important to them in order to to gain their support. You must make deals with others and follow through on promises you make. There is almost nothing as important in political connections as trust. Chris Matthews makes very clear in this book that relationships are the foundation of a career in Washington. Nothing could get done without the alliances we see in Washington

Through experiencing social injustices, and making myself more culturally aware of inequality amongst social classes, I believe I have cultivated the leadership skills necessary for success. My willingness to reach out to the environment beyond me has exposed me to a career path that excites me and is my true passion. I plan to take action to improve the lives of the defenseless and those who are politically and socially disadvantaged. Through utilizing what I have learned by dedicating my time to service I know that I will truly make an impact on the lives of the helpless. During my years attending university I plan to continue a rigorous course load focused on a career path that truly intrigues me. I also plan on continuing to dedicate my free time to service and philanthropy. Overall, I have dedicated my high school career to becoming a leader in and out of the classroom. I hope that by attending University of Texas-Austin I will be able to utilize the resources provided to become a leader prepared to make worldwide change, continue on a path of academic achievement, and create a successful future not only for myself, but for those in generations to come as

My motivation is to be part of moving the U.S. government into the 21st century. The 115th Congress will face many challenges shaping U.S. technology policies and regulations. As a Congressional Innovation Intern, I will improve my capacity to effect change by applying my technology and policy skills to assisting with this effort. The internship will provide invaluable experience in learning how legislative change happens in Congress. Taken together, these will enhance my ability to effect the change I anticipate in my future career.

Through this internship I would like to gain a better knowledge of the workings of Congress. I have spent much of my college career reading and writing about how the legislative process functions and I would like to be able to be a part of it through this internship. While I am comfortable with answering phones and giving tours, the possibility of attending hearings and researching policy issues are the experiences that I am looking to gain. I hope to be challenged in my work and given opportunities to expand my knowledge. Ideally, I would like for this internship to help me hone interpersonal skills and allow me to network for my future career.

In the near future, I will continue to be a good citizen, wherever I go. At college, I plan to become involved within the community. While I am still unsure which college I will attend, I know that people everywhere need help,

Next, I began my internship for the Targeted Engagement team at Targeted Victory, as I learned about the technology, advertising and political frim aspect of politics. Here, I helped create a daily company newsletter through email software applications such as Silverpop. I

I hope to take what I have learned about the political system at Miami University and strive to get money out of politics, so the average person can voice their opinions just as much as any wealthy corporation or individual. When I run for Congress I want to fund my campaign entirely on low-level contributions from everyday citizens, to prove to the public and other government officials that they do not need to be controlled by lobbyists and special interest groups who have the power of the purse. My greatest aspiration is to be apart of a truly democratic society that represents the interests of everyone, even those who cannot afford to donate large amounts to their representatives. If I make it to the House of Representatives, I hope to bring about lasting policy changes similar to the McCain-Feingold Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act, and I would like to see the Citizens United decision overturned. My education now will help me achieve these goals and be a mouthpiece for all those who will not get the same educational opportunities I have been

My supervisor Gabriel Roberts, and his assistant Amanda De Maria, were great at getting me acclimated to working with the FJD. With little previous knowledge about the FJD, these two have helped me become more knowledgeable about the communication field, as well as the legal field. When I accepted the internship opportunity I didn’t know exactly what I was getting myself into. Gabe and Amanda aided me in my adjustment into the judicial world by being supportive and referring me to resources to expand my knowledge.

At the end of my year and half long internship with United States Congressman Dave Loebsack, I was given a flag flown over the United States Capitol, a photograph of the Congressman and me at my graduation party, and a note from the Congressman thanking me for service.These three objects are important to me because the serve as a reminder of the hard work I put in for Congressman Loebsack, and the people of Iowa’s second congressional district.

After speaking to people, I often had a time to reflect on what I heard. The product was a much greater understanding of the complexity of the American political system. I grew up thinking that that one side was right, and the other was full of irrational arguments. However, people sharing bits of their lives with me taught me that is not true. The support and opposition for every policy makes sense, and deciding which is right is far more of a value judgment than a facts-based judgment than I could have imagined. I feel less sure about what I believe politically after the internship, but again, I do not think that is a bad thing. For the first time, I know how to enter into a thought process without a bias, and able to listen to both sides. This skill is critical for any studies or career in the social sciences.

My career plan is to go to college and study to pursue the fields of criminology, politics, the legal field, athletic training, and lobbying. Currently, I am undecided on what my future career will be, but I know that I would want to have a career in the social sciences because my goal is to have a career that would positively impact the community around me. These careers relate to my academy of human

I decide to strive toward the political science field. One of my first career goals is to receive a bachelor’s degree in Political Science. Having a bachelor’s degree, I will emphasis in being a Legislative Field Representative and assists a government member with helping constituents with any issue involving city services and quality of life. I Also plan to pursue a master’s degree in Public Policy that will further my career, possibly be a diplomat in residence, providing guidance and advice on careers, and fellowships to students and professionals in the communities they serve.

Interning at Senator Mike Morrell’s office was a great experience because it allowed me to understand California politics and its functions. This internship was an amazing experience because it was not your typical internship experience. Although I had many office duties, such as answering phones, taking phone messages, and organizing papers, I was also able to take advantage of other opportunities they gave me. Everyday every intern has to turn in Newspaper Clips, where we have to find newspaper articles about political topics in the federal, state, and community level. I honestly learned a lot from doing Newspaper Clips because I do not keep up with current events voluntarily. I learned about Paul Ryan’s appointment as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, the attacks in Paris, and have kept up with the presidential election campaigns because of my research via Newspaper Clips. I was able to learn a lot about political current events.

I plan to major in political science because it is something that interests me and I have a passion for helping people. However, in order to help people and effectively create change, you must first educate yourself and understand how the system works. My overall goals are to first earn my degree in political science. Then to complete law school, become a lawyer, and specialize in civil rights. As a lawyer, I will speak out against social injustice and provide legal aid to those who need it.
