Being able to intern at Play and Learn was a perfect fit for me especially since it aligns with my academics as well as career goals. Academically PAL fills required courses for my minor in Education. It also connected with the Gender and Curriculum class that I was taking at the same time of my internship. I was able to apply what I was learning in class like how to avoid being gender biased in the activities and lessons I planned for my students. Career wise I have always wanted a future in education, mostly in the department of teaching. PAL was able to give me more experience working with students and lesson planning. It also broadened my career path by making working with non-profit organizations a bigger option for me in the future.
