Just dive into it! They don't expect you to be perfect, but they do expect you to be able to hold your own. The sooner you get your hands in the code, the better off it'll be.

August - December 2017 • Riverton, UT
What I liked
The company was nice enough to let me intern as a junior rather than a senior.
What I wish was different
I was very mismanaged. I wish the expectations of me were more clearly set. I wish that I could have worked with QA automation more than I did.

They gave me random assignments that they said were optional. Finish whatever project they give you no matter what it is.

What I liked
My favorite part about volunteering in Japan was definently the people I was able to work with and meet. I was able to make so many new friends, whom I still keep in contact with today. I was also able to learn Japanese as well as more about the Japanese culture. Japan and it's people have made a big impact on my life, for the better.

September 2015 - February 2018 • San Francisco, CA
What I liked
I loved spending time with members and getting a personal experience of how to influence people for the better.
What I wish was different
I wish I had done more at times. Especially since I worked in the visitors center. I couldn't take anyone around unless people came in to the building.
Advice

Zone Leader
June 2016 • Fort Lauderdale, FL
What I liked
I loved dedicating all of my time and effort to seeking opportunities to serve others, to teach them what has brought peace and happiness into my life, and to learn so much from the cultural diversity that exists in south Florida. In two years I became fluent in Spanish, I made lifelong relationships, and I gained more life experience than any amount of time I have spent in schooling or work.
What I wish was different
I wish I had dedicated and applied myself even more than I did. Even with all that I learned there were thousands of opportunities that I could have learned from.
Advice
There is nothing more rewarding than losing yourself in selfless service to others in need.

Project Management Intern
April - August 2018 • Riverton, UT
What I liked
The people there are amazing. They all like to make sure you feel that you made a difference, even in a short, summer internship. They include you on many different projects, giving you opportunities to learn a lot.
What I wish was different
The project I was hired to work on had been cancelled shortly before I arrived there, so I didn't have a lot to do, especially at first. I wish there had been one or two major projects for me to work on the entire summer.
Advice
Get in contact with your supervisor before you get there, at least a "hello".
