I have learned so many amazing things about what the Extension Service is all about. I have felt like I have grown my confidence level of being assertive and confident enough to where people felt like they could come to me if they had any questions. This was a challenge for me when I first started my internship. I was never confident in my answers to the public and was always double checking before answering them. Now I have the confidence and knowledge to help people in a way that is more presentable.<\/p>\n<p>During my internship I was able to be hands on in several events. The largest being fair. I had such an amazing time at our county fair and felt like I was able to help and show kids that even though you may not be able to still show animals you can still be a role model to the younger kids and help them have an amazing fair. Fair was by far my favorite event I got to help with but helping with all the other events has been a blast as well. During this internship every day has been a little different and that is why I have come to love this summer so much!<\/p>\n<p>A key takeaway for me over this entire summer has been just rolling with the punches. There is never a guarantee that the day will go as planned and that is alright! As long as things get done before the due date it is a success. This is a great life motto to live by I feel, and it is something I have tried to live by but this summer has really amplified the trueness of this statement. There have been many other lessons I have learned but I feel this is the greatest piece of advice I have come to know is true. This internship has really allowed me to grow as an employee and grow my skillset to be a larger asset for myself. I really encourage other college students to apply for this internship if they are not sure what they want to do for the summer.<\/p>\n<p>-Hailey Cunningham<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During my time here at the Oregon State University Extension Service office in Morrow County I have had such a fun summer!
