Free Post #4

     For todays free post I wanted to talk about an internship that I found that I would really like to participate in over the summer.  The Internship is through the Institution for Marine Mammal Studies (IMMS) and is a marine mammal and sea turtle stranded response internship.  This internship incorporates rescue and rehabilitation opportunities along with chances to participate in research, education and animal care of marine mammals and sea turtles.  I was very excited to learn about this internship because it is the exact kind of job I would like to do in the future and it would be an incredible opportunity.

     While this internship sounds like a lot of fun, it also sounds like it is very intense.  The requirements include being available Monday through Fridays, holidays, and weekends, working around 40 hours a week.  Unfortunately, It is an unpaid internship, but because it would be such an incredible experience, I believe that all of this is worth it.  

     I learned about this internship through email and a bit of research from that email.  From the description of this internship, I learned that the position I want to have in my field, and getting there, will be a lot of work but will be worth it in the end!        

I am very excited to have been introduced to such an opportunity and will begin the application process very soon!  Wish me luck!
