For my internship, I decided to work at Waddell Mariculture Center in Bluffton. It is part of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and is one of the largest and most sophisticated facilities for mariculture studies. I was able to experiment and learn about many interesting facets of aquaculture over the 10 hours of working there. At this particular facility, they grow and research all kinds of aquatic species of fish and shrimp. Waddell was built during the years of 1983 and 1984. For the past 30 years Waddell has worked with a variety of different species of fish including Red Drum, Cobia, Black Drum, Spotted Sea Trout, and many more species. I chose to do my internship for a couple of reasons one reason was that my dad …show more content…
Brine Shrimp start out at something called cysts which you can buy all over the world and it takes only one night in water for them to hatch into the Brine Shrimp. At a maximum length, Brine Shrimp only get up to a little over 1 centimeter which is perfect size for fish around 10 centimeters. I thought that growing the Brine Shrimp was one of the most interesting things that I did while I was there. Another thing that we did that was really cool was sample some Spotted Sea Trout that were about 2 weeks old. We got samples of fish to look at how much they they were eating. We also took their length and weight to see how much they had grown over 2 weeks and to make sure they were growing at the right pace. We took a net and walked through one corner of the pond and got about 20 samples and put the fish in a cup and took them into the lab. When we got into the lab, I had the sheet and recorded down the weight and length when he told me each one. We then compared it to the average weight, length and weight of 2 week old Sea Trout. Surprisingly they were over average which was not expected because it had been overcast and rainy the past week and that usually makes the fish not want to eat as much. We thought they would be under average. One thing that was really remarkable about looking at the fish was that you could actually tell if they were eating or
I did internship with Novogradac & Company LLP is a national certified public accounting and consulting firm with a major emphasis in the real estate sector. During my internship, I mainly audited property management company regrading cash account, accounts receivable, accounts payable, fixed assets, long term debts, revenue and expense account. Because Financial Report & Analysis I and II courses covered the accounting terms and journal entries in the last summer, I could complete assignments related to audits and journal entries. In addition, I prepared for balance sheets, income statements, statement of partners’ equity for partnership, direct and indirect cash flow statements for each rental property. I delivered required financial statements
The goal of the internship was to complete a 150 hours and provide a weekly summary of activities. In order to get the internship I had to do a phone screening with Mary Doe. She is the administrative assistant to Commander John Doe. Who is the Assistant Associate Director of Facility Support and also the internship supervisor for the SIU Health Care Management students at FHCC. I meet with CDR John Doe for a brief interview. We went over my goals and what I hope to gain by interning at FHCC. I felt interning at FHCC would be a natural transition because CDR Wallis has a background in Healthcare Administration.
After conducting researches on both Principal Financial Group and New York Life Insurance Company, I would be more likely to choose to work at Principal Financial Group. Both companies have strong background. Also, the products (insurance, investment, retirement solution) and services they provide for their customer are almost similar. Two companies, Principal and New York Life help individuals to create a plan that is the best fit for each person and design to be achievable and effective. In addition, it is appeal to me that both companies value and respect their employees. New York Life have a diversity environment and provide training programs for their agents. On the other hand, Principal not only value their employees, but
If you like working in a fast paced environment, the news industry is the place to be. Walking into the news field I had a few ideas of what to expect, as in working holidays, finding unique stories to cover and being inside a noisy news room. During my internship at WBRC FOX6 News, I learned how to operate multiple cameras and other equipment in the studio for different news segments. I was able to work with a variety of reporters, learn about their experience from being on camera and going out in the field to cover different stories. The most interesting thing I learned was that if a reporter is not able to make it back to the station in time to get their package made, they can use their laptop to edit their footage and still send it in
There are numerous variables that impact hatching rate such as the salinity levels of the habitat as the cyst would not hatch if the salinity was not ideal. If the conditions were not correct, the cysts remain dried and surrounded by a thick shell until ready to develop which can be up to 50 years. Once the conditions are met, the cyst takes approximately 36 hours until the shrimp is released; from there, the adolescent can produce up to 500 nauplii. The salt concentration, when too high, impacts hatching as osmosis cannot occur correctly. The water outside the shell would have a higher
1. The first few weeks of internship, at Ramona Adult Day Health Care Center (ADHC) located in Baldwin Park, Mr. Talib Abdullah, the social work field instructor, provided information about the center, such as their mission and the services ADHC offered to their participants. He also mentioned what was expected from the intern student. The first activity involved was to identify what kind of population the center served. It was rapidly identified that ADHC served participants from middle adulthood (approximately 40 to 65 years) to late adulthood (65 years and beyond). The majority of the participants served were Filipino. It was also detected that the second major groups were Hispanics and Latinos. Caucasian and Black participants were present, however, they were only a few. It was later required to be introduced as the new social worker intern and socialize with the participants. Feeling of anxiety arose when introducing personal. Communication was essential in assisting and getting to know the participants, however, there were a few language barriers with the Filipino group. Their primary language was Tagalog with limited English.
One investigation I tagged along was to check the Nueces River. We stopped at different points along the river and with two devices called Sonde and Flowmeter; we examined and recorded the amounts of dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, conductivity, depth, and flow to determine the overall condition of the river. At some of the river locations, the water was so shallow so all you need was waterproof overalls to collect samples, but in other locations, we needed a kayak to accurately collect the
On wednesday at my internship was a very important day, because I got to go into the field and instead of go to the agency with went out into the field. That day I went to a place with some body of the agency and I saw the process of how they recruit the young participant to join the program. Which I think it's a good way to reach out to this participants, because as young participant they most of the time won't be interested until somebody reach them to help the participants.is a speciall internship becaouse is very important this is a good story to tell.It was really interesting to see the agancy from another perspective. Chapter 11 on the book the human services internship, it explained how as a professional and as a person that is learning,
I am currently holding an internship at Waupaca Foundry and with the time I have spent there I have seen how much technology has evolved. Not just in the manufacturing world but in the world around us as well. Technology is growing and we use it more in our everyday lives. This is why I want to study the electrical technology field because most actions that are held in a factory, school system, or home run off of electricity. Learning a trade in the electrical technology field will also allow me to pick up and move anywhere. Even if the work would be different the basic concepts would still remain the same. If one is willing to continue to educate himself as time progresses they will never lose value as an employee.
My internship at Walker Ice and Fitness has been wonderful and I have learned a lot while here. The field work evolved and my position grew as I was here longer. When I first started the internship I did not know what was really going on. I went to Sandie (the fitness manager) a lot for the first few weeks of the field work. After that, I became very comfortable and was able to do the majority of my jobs without much assistance. One of the best parts about the fitness facility is how nice everyone is. It is truly a little community from the workers to the instructors to the people exercising. The gym itself is not huge, so the members and workers really work to get to know each other which is great. The atmosphere here has been unbeatable
My confirmed dates of availability are from May 16th- August 22nd, and my preferred duration is that entire period (13 weeks). If granted and accepted an internship with the Manatee Research Program, there would be nothing that would prevent my ability to participate as an intern. Please note that these dates have changed to what was stated in my application, as my graduation date was moved up and I was accepted into graduate school starting in the fall.
My internship at FuturePerfect Ventures has been an incredible learning experience and a stepping-stone for a fulfilling career path. I have known that I wanted to pursue a career in financial communications before I even started the internship search process. My experience at FuturePerfect Ventures not only solidified my desire to work in this specific industry but also gave me the opportunity to build on my existing skills and allowed me to have first-hand experience in this area. Thus, my internship at FuturePerfect Ventures has been, in many ways, more than a learning experience but also what Nathaniel Kolac, the author of the Harvard Business Review article, “Build a Career Worth Having, refers as a valuable stepping stone, one of the many experiences that help create the path to a successful, fulfilling career.

During both my internship and my pre-internship classroom experience, I have had students with suspected Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). One was in the process of being diagnosed with Alcohol Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder, the other was suspected to have partial Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Though both students were quite different, they did share some commonalities. Both had trouble with following directions and trouble with memory. I also had trouble reaching both in the classroom as they needed more individual instruction than I could give them. There were often times I felt like I was making no difference at all, which was devastating as a teacher. These students though the most challenging have made the most lasting impact
