What are the big ideas that you are taking from internship into the next steps in your life?

I had renewed my skills like wood working and machinery operations because of the engineering class that I am taking this semester. I had a lot of enjoyment working with a lot of people but a lot of people do not get to have the ability and enjoyment of working with these kinds of people. I grow a bigger relationship with my mentor even more now them I did before because he is like my go to person to buy equipment. A lot of people I see that were my age never had that kind of privilege that I was able to have like going to Hawaii and Spain and a lot of other place but that was because my grandparent want me to represent their company at a young age level I woulds site and get free thing and when I look back to it I didn't care so much for it because i was happy ether way and now to this very day I still work and an represent my grandparent.

What are your plans for the coming semester?

Every semester I have some goals that I would like to meet even though the classes are challenging for my capability as a person with a disability. I  myself push for success everyday just for the fun of it. I am not getting a lot of special treatment that I was getting at my old school which is best for me. I am going to be doing my best to get A's and B's only this year. This semester I am going to be taking these class;

• humanities
• algebra
• x block
• engineering 
• advisory

This year is new for me because I have been out of the country but not with out my parent and my old school never took use out of the country so this semester is going to be something I am going to be remembering always. This one world week I am going to be going to Thailand it is going to be a blast. 

How might you continue your internship experiences beyond the scope of the HTHMA internship? What ideas, skills, connections and so on will you bring back to the rest of your life? Will you continue working with your internship beyond January of 2011?

I work for my grandparents so it is the  same way. As working for my internship. I am going to be helping my grandparents team with there safety stuff and there organizational skills. And I always work with my internship when I work for my grandparents, because they buy a lot of equipment from them and they also get there things maintained from them.

Describe your POL preparation process. What presentation tools are you planning to use? Are you relying on notes, a memorized talk, something else? How are you preparing for questions you might be asked? What are you planning to wear?


I used a projector and posters to show my audience what I have experienced for the last 4 weeks. I had a lot of cool question that they have asked me and I had to 10th graders there they took great notes. I knew every question that they were going to ask me a had of time. I know how to dress for presentation because i have done so many already and they though i looked good and appropriate for the work area i was in.

The business benefits from this.The reason why is that they get free labor. Also I and HTHMA benefits from this too. the reason also that I benefit from this is that i will have a great project and a great internship there. The reason how HTHMA benefits from this is that next time someone that wants to do tractors of construction internships then they could hook them up with Hawthorne machinery's.

Internship week 2

What is the biggest challenge face at your internship?

 my biggest challenge that I faced coming into internship was working again with big machines. I love to work with them because it is going to be my job in the future. Also these pictures show that I love working with them but they also show what kind of big machines I like the most. This is a excavator. The challenge on this excavator was to put a new bucket on to it with out scratching the paint and I had to do it blind folded. In the end it was easy listen to the machine and the voices and you can do.

How do you see yourself growing or changing over the course of your internship?

Well everyday there is always something new and challenging for me but what I did to get though those challenging spots were three things that I said to my self everyday there. those three things that I said were one this is my life going into the future and the second was you can do what ever you put your mind to if you just try and lastly I just keep a great attitude and put it all on the line everyday I am work out somewhere new. But also I kept it mind is what Darren and Randy said was Hey this is something that not a lot of kids get to do and that you are representing a company and high tech high schools.
