For my internship I went to the marine institute at the Maui ocean center there I learned

about the ocean that surrounds us. They also taught me about coral and Hawaii's coral is

bleaching and how that will affect the marine ecosystem and my personal favorite was learning

about the turtles. I learned so much about them like what they eat the disease that plagues

them and how to properly take care of one if they're stuck between a rock. This internship taught

me many 21 century skills. The example that I would like to give was critical talking when I was

faced with having to take a turtle out of the rocks I had to think of where to grab it somewhere

where I wouldn't hurt it but also was strong enough to pull. My personal goals were to learn as

much as I could and to see whether this was a career I could pursue I think I met those goals

because I learned a lot and If I got the opportunity I would pursue this as a career. The most

valuable thing I took from this internship was the experience it gave me being able to hold a

turtle watching baby sharks swim around in a tank and seeing how coral grows that really all I

took from this opportunity. My greatest challenge I would have to say was having to wake up

early during summer I now it doesn't sound like a big deal but its something I wasn’t use to

doing during the breaks and having to drive there wasn’t something I was used to because I had

never driven that way before the internship. These experience has changed me by making me

more aware of what I do with my plastic and it made me appreciate the ocean and the animals

that live in it more. This internship also taught me how to be a hard worker something that I will

be able to use after I graduate from high school. If I could change anything from this internship it

would be to ask more questions although I learned a lot I feel like I could’ve learned more if I

had asked more questions. Overall I learned a lot from this internship and it also taught life skill

that ill be able to use later on life It also made me appreciate the ocean more I am thankful for

this opportunity and happy I decided to do this as my internship.
