Along with all of the great things that are happening for me
at city hall, I have taken another internship, this time at the Arizona State
capital! It is with the Governor’s Advisory Council on Aging (GACA). Here, we have a
fantastic position where we are advocates for aging issues. One specific area
we are going to focus on is legislative research on trends of state legislators
who have been shown to be supportive of aging issues. Even though it will be
harder to take on two internships at once, I am up for the challenge!
I must say that the ladies here at the capital are top-notch
people and are some of the funniest and kindest people with whom I have
recently met! Their particular brand of humor is well though out and although
is meant to be funny, normally has a deeper thought associated with it. I like
these kinds of conversations because it forces me to think a bit harder then if
I were having a conversation with less substance. Also, their kind hearts are
what bring me to not want to get things done and just talk all day! I know I
cannot just sit around, but it is certainly nice to enjoy my coworkers!
Best of luck with the two internships. And, it's great that you are learning things and getting a rewarding experience out of your internship even during the breaks. What may seem like just joking might actually turn out to be invaluable networking, relationship building, and lessons in developing people skills. I hope you enjoy your internships
