Introduction


This website is an overview of the internship that I participated in over the course of the past semester.  I spent many hours assisting with the creation and maintenance of an interactive website of Chambers' 1864 Book of Days.  I also spent a significant amount of time marketing this effort over the internet.  I have web-published three articles during this period, and have learned a great deal about the importance of internet knowledge-sharing and marketing.  The following is an introduction to the various aspects of this self-created website that exhibits the work I have accomplished.

Articles

  • "Breaking Body Image Barriers," - addresses issues of dieting and body image facing teenage girls today

  • "To Draft Or Not to Draft: Facing US Military Issues" - offers opposing viewpoints of the controversy over re-institution of the military draft

  • "Life Lessons From A College Student" - engages in a humorous and creative examination of the college experience

Reflections

I composed one midterm and one final reflection throughout the course of the semester, as a means of reflecting on the things I needed to accomplish, the things I did accomplish, difficulties along the way, and the ways that I have benefited from the experience as a whole.
 

Weekly Log

I kept a weekly log of the activities I engaged in over the last four months.  In this log, I have outlined specific tasks and their executions.
 

Resume

I learned that one of the best sources of networking in the job market is to get your resume out there.  All of my work connected with emmitsburg.net and The Book of Days includes links to my resume.  If a prospective employer happens to come across an article they like or the work I have done, they can view my resume and contact me.
