As I start my internship, I reminisce on the last two weeks in Washington D.C. Although I may not be interning where I planned, I remain excited to begin my journey with the National Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Association.

The importance of networking, the main source of connections. Introducing oneself with a 30-sec pitch and my experience with networking.

This internship has exposed me to networking and given me the opportunity to introduce myself and my story. This involved preparation of a quick speech and ways to create genuine relationships with placement managers and peers.

This week we were introduced to networking. Although a tricky skill, my internship class and I have strived to master it. While meeting other people, I realized that networking has always been a part of my migrant life.

From landing in Washington DC to starting my internship, all while making lifetime friendships and memorable adventures. Attending eye-opening panels and becoming aware of what happens behind the scenes for MSHS programs and farmworker families.
