1. What qualities or characteristics did you see in the people around you that you want to develop in yourself? Why?
Most of the people at SPAWAR were pretty relaxed about getting their work done and having free time during the day. I can get my work done, but I sometimes feel like I don’t have time to relax during work. I would also get really worried that I won't have enough time to complete my tasks before I go home. However, as I was working, I would complete most of my work right before lunch time or even earlier! I think that there will always be an opportunity to have some free time during work.
2. How did your view of life beyond high school change or develop during your time as an intern?
My views on life outside beyond high school changed throughout my time as an intern through working with my mentor and my co-workers. I thought that life beyond high school was just all work and no breaks in between. However, as I did my Internship, I realized working outside of high school is similar to being a workplace! You just work on you own assignments and take breaks in between. You also balance out how much you time spend on working and playing based on your work schedule. I learned that working in a work place is similar to a high school learning environment!
