 "It
has been my pleasure working for Think Detroit PAL as an intern.
Coming into this experience, I didn’t know exactly what
to expect, mainly because I was not very familiar with the
organization and also because this was my first internship
position. However, I envisioned this experience to be a quality
one for me, by it providing direction for future endeavors
and career opportunities. With great sincerity, I will say
that this experience has been very influential in that respect
and others.
Not only have I been fortunate enough to meet and work with
great people, the opportunity to be a part of such a dynamic
organization has been very rewarding. Think Detroit PAL has
done an excellent job of allowing me to be very involved with
their sport programs by giving me responsibilities that are
in line of what I want to do later in life. As a result, the
values that Think Detroit PAL upholds have become values that
I shall continue to embrace as a future professional."
