Back in April I applied for a summer internship with Special Olympics Project UNIFY. I did all the requirements they needed and I got the internship. I am going to start on June and ended July 31st. I am also attending the USA Special Olympics Nationals Games in Nebraska as part of my internship. :)

Thanks Everyone1 :) I am going to enjoy it since it is something I involved with while I was on campus at George Mason University (just recently graduated). I am very hopefully they offer me a job afterward.

Some of my spare time I have been writing down ideas for the internship that I am going to share once I know what I am doing of course. They asked me some questions about Facebook and Youtube. Good thing I know how to use them well and such so I am experienced with technology and social websites.

Yea if you were also assigned some senior members in SOI to be your lunch partner than it is even better to do!
