Fall Update: September 2020
I finally have an internship set up! I will be interning with Amber Andrew at her blog Durango Like A Local. I have everything set up and will be writing blog posts and learning about her business over the next few months. Everything is set up and ready to go, and I start next month.
Spring Update: April 2020
As I predicted, I had to shift my focus to something writing focused for an internship. I reached out to a local newspaper but they don't have enough work/can't take interns because of COVID. I'm hoping I'll be able to do something by the end of the spring or maybe into the summer if they can take interns again.
Winter Update: January 2020
I heard back from the dermatologists and estheticians I reached out to, but most of them just don't have enough work for me or don't take high school interns. I'm going to reach out to some other people and see what I can do, or I might have to shift my focus to something else. I think that something writing focused could be engaging and interesting if this doesn't pan out.
Fall Update: November 2019
I am feeling pretty good about an internship right now. I think that an internship could be an amazing opportunity to see if what I'm currently interested in is something that I could actually do in the future. I am currently interested in the career path of a dermatologist or esthetician. I have reached out to a few different places and am waiting to hear back before I move forward.
