I really enjoyed this position because it required me to trust myself and grow my confidence. When offered this job they expected that I knew how to perform the tasks asked of me. It really built my confidence and gave me a desire to continue to learn more.
What I wish was different
I wish I had the opportunity to learn and experience mechanical jobs. I spent most my time with plant science and little with mechanics. Mechanics are a weakness of mine so I wish I had spent more time strengthening that aspect of my skills.
Advice
Don’t be afraid to fail. I’ve spent a lot of time being too scared to try something new because I didn’t want to fail. This year I had nobody to double check my work, so I failed a lot but in return I learned so much. When you aren’t afraid to fail, you put yourself in the best position to learn.

Farm Intern
April - September 2019 • Kennewick, WA
What I liked
Very well organized company to work for. It gave me an excellent experience by tailoring my internship to fit the things I was most interested in learning. Everyone I worked with there was very kind and supportive.
What I wish was different
Honestly couldn't think of anything about my experience that I would change. Everything was so well that I have decided to return next year for a full-time job.
Advice
Don't be afraid to do an internship that takes you away from where you are used to living. I decided to give this one a try and move to a different state and what I experienced and learned was very valuable. I've been able to see that there are many better opportunities for me outside of where I have always lived.
