Worked with summer school students and other educators to produce a efficient learning environment. This was my first internship, one that I wanted to really experience. I knew that working at a school was something I was interested in from a young age so having this really set the tone for me. I got to work closely with my former boss who taught me a lot about urban farming and the history of CT and agriculture. Looking back, I am very glad I did not settle for some lousy part time job, yet took upon a bigger challenge from which I grew as a person.
