Interview. Check.

As nervous as I was for my internship interviews today, I was pleasantly surprised that no one asked me what part of a Big Mac I would be if I had to choose and why (although I would be the lettuce because I add a healthy component to a team and provide a balance for the sandwich as a whole.)  UCAN, Teen Parenting Service Network, works with teen parents on both healthy parenting skills as well as focuses on the education of the parents.  I would mostly be working in the resources department doing data collection and making sure that all the clients' information is up to date.  I would be able to shadow councilors occasionally when they make the rounds, visiting the families and sitting in on therapy sessions.  The other organization I interviewed with, Community Human Services, works with teens who are on probation or parole.  Even as a part-time intern, I get to shadow the other supervisors who make weekly visits to schools and homes, keeping up with the teens and making sure they stay on track. Based on the interviews, I am leaning towards Community Human Services.  I think being in the field is going to be a highlight of my time in Chicago overall!  Hopefully I will start on Monday!

In other news, the roommate brought home a variety pack of 30 full-size candy bars. Here's to you, Mr. Brown!
