Personal Narrative: My Internship At State Farm

I can see this internship at State Farm affecting my career goals in a positive way as it will provide me with many experiences that I have never been exposed to before in my life. In the STEM academy I have learned how to work with others to accomplish one goal and how to present our achievements to our peers, however the experiences that can be obtained by interning for a major employer is such a different experience than a school project and presentation. These experiences can affect my career goals in the technology field as this internship might determine whether I want to continue my studies or switch to another field before it is too late for me to do so. Ever since I have been in middle school I have been intrigued with the idea of
making something whether it be tangible or intangible. This led me to do some research and found that M.I.T had a program called scratch which teaches people the basics of programming with drag-and-drop code, which appeals to a much wider audience rather than the standard book along the lines of “Programming for Dummies.” Upon entering the STEM academy at L.V. Berkner High School i was introduced to their engineering classes. This was a moment in my life where i began to wonder “What would be more enjoyable? Should I continue studying Computer Science? Or begin to focus more on a more tangible engineering field?”
