This internship helped me understand good people are making a practical difference to help our world. I learned that I would LOVE, absolutely LOVE to work for a grassroots organization in the future. I was trusted with a variety of tasks and projects that I initially thought would be above my experience level. I was thankful for the trust that was put in me and how I was treated as a true member of the team and not just an intern. We are all treated like equals and everyone is kind and speaks clearly to get the job done. I also learned a lot about plants and fynbos, which was my intention, and I am grateful for that. I want to incorporate fynbos into my agricultural future one day and this has helped me stay on the path towards my career goals.
