So the internship is fun and full of adventure, everyday is different. And everyday I learn something new and useful to put to my future career. So I have my work badge now, and it is used to get in and out of the building. I wear it on my belt loop, and when we go to different places during networking time and meet and greets people seem to see my badge. It's like a pass for a low-income minority to get into places where normally I would not be. Being around the different Arizona lobbyists, Senators, Mayors, and Town Managers. I know my role, or I am starting to understand it, during networking times it is for me to meet people and expand my network contacts. And to use this contacts, when they tell me if I need them for anything take them up on the offer, stay in contact with the people I do meet so I can be relevant to them because if and when I do reach out for that favor they can say, “yes, I do know him”. All joking aside, the people I do meet at these hour or so networking opportunities we get before the event are always interesting.
