Anything you want us to know?<\/b> Growing up I always wanted to impact the Earth in some way. This internship is allowing me to do just that. It has really reassured me for my future.

How has the internship prepared you for the future:<\/b> This internship showed me the behind the scenes that you don\u2019t always think about. When I used to hike the trails I never thought about how it was maintained or even how it got there. You don\u2019t always see all the hard work that goes into it. I would normally just enjoy the hike but now I have so much more appreciation for it all. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
