So I've recently acquired my internship but I only then found out that it's going to be at this place called SPAWAR. I had heard about this place but I wasn't quite sure what they were or what they do exactly so I did some research. In this assignment my task would normally be to transcribe an interview with my mentor however when I went to go ask Ms. Lisa about who my mentor is she replied that I'm going to go in blind. This seemed a bit strange to me but there must be some kind of reason since this is a government facility. I also had to provide a lot of my information including my social security number so that they could run a background check. But anyway, because I can't interview my mentor then I just have to write whatever I find out about SPAWAR and write more about my internship process. I found out that SPAWAR stands for The Space And Naval Warfare Systems Command. So I'm really excited because that place just sounds so cool. I looked through their website and found out a lot of stuff about them such as the things they've developed.One thing that stood out quite a bit was some kind of beam used in aircrafts that would be able to disable vehicles. I don't know just where I'll be working here or on what but I do know that whatever it is it has to do with botany, computers, and photography. I have a friend who interned at SPAWAR last year and he says that he had a really good time there so I'm expecting that whatever I end up doing over there, it's going to be a fun and interesting time.
At the moment I do not have my internship.However I am working on finding one. My interest is computers, IT, programing, anything computer related. I already interviewed with the FAA but didn't get an internship and I also asked a computer repair store but they weren't interested. My strategy for looking for possible internships has just been googling computers in my area and looking at closeby locations that might work. Unfortunately many of the computer repair shops nearby are too small to take an intern. So recently I've been talking a lot with LIsa Davis and she's been working to try to get me an internship involving computers and botany I'm not quite sure yet what it is but it sounds very interesting! Currently I am still researching internships in case I can't get the internship Lisa is trying to get me so my next steps involve getting back up internships and hoping I get the one LIsa is trying to get me.
