The start of the term has been going well, and the change from online classes has been easier since i’m more used to it. I will be doing one more MECOP internship from the summer until fall term ends than one more term until I graduate. It doesn’t seem that long ago since I started at OSU as a freshman and I have learned a lot of valuable information throughout my years here. Not only did I further my education, but I was also able to grow as a person and adult by being more responsible and more acquainted with things. While I wish the last year of college could have turned out differently, it was still a great overall experience and one that will hopefully set up the rest of my life. I landed my first internship through the MECOP program last year and coupled with my classes it has made me feel prepared to work in this field. I understand more about what it means to have a highly technical job, and what that comes with. I also learned that since a lot of engineers will have to talk to people that are in different disciplines, learning how to teach people to a certain extent is also key when communicating with people in the company. I also understand that I don’t need to necessarily know the ins and outs of a job, but that being a hard worker that is constantly learning and evolving will help my growth as a professional. It has given me a lot of confidence knowing how much I have learned so far that I could do anything I want post college. I feel hungrier than I ever have before to be a professional and start the rest of my life and coming to OSU has definitely helped in that regards.
