Post Visit Thoughts

Survival
* San Diego Safari Park
* Drove myself
* 40 minutes from school
* Bacon Egg and rice
* All fast foods are available in the park.
* Tables behind the scenes
* I will work all over the park
* Scattered throughout the park

People
* Keith Thomas and he is a great mentor who is really into what he is doing.
* Keith Thomas loves his  plants and works his hardest to keep his side of the park up to standards.
* His two other employees
* That they enjoy what they do and are willing to work extra hard to get it done

Work
* Setting up the butterfly exhibit that will be showed during Easter.
* Physical Labor, and basic gardening skills.
* I'd going to learn about our environment and how big of an impact plants play in it.
* I will help create the butterfly exhibit.

Thoughts
* What will provide a challenge is the hours of work.
* The hours
* By working harder and trying to learn as much as i can throughout the experience
* Pay close attention to what Mr. Thomas says and ask when i need help to work as hard as a can

And...
* Is there any other students doing the same internship?
Maybe

Internship First Thoughts


What are you looking forward to most about your internship experience?

What I am looking forward too in my internship is a chance to have a enjoyable time. Its not exactly in my range of where I want to be in the future but it will give me insight into other possibilites. Planting trees and designing a eco system allows to to understand plants and animal species. This internship is going to be an out door internship so I am excited to learn about biology.

* What are you most concerned about in your internship?
My biggest concern about internships is not enjoying my internship. I know that internships are suppose to model a job experience but i want mine to be enjoyable.* What type of work do you plan to do, what are your hopes for your project, etc?
What i plan on doing during this internship is to be able to understand ecosystems and plant life. My grandmother is big on planting and having her own garden and my mother is a landscape architect, so i will be able to bring what I learn at the Safari park home. My biggest hope for the project is that it will inspire the Sophomores to take the internship I did. * What are your goals for your site visit?
My goal for my site visit to to have an overview on what I am actually going to be doing. I have no idea on what happens at Horicultutre but I am willing to learn.* What questions do you have about internship?
Nothing
