I have thoroughly enjoyed my senior project and the entire experience of working with child life specialists at Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital. As projects come to an end, it's hard to say goodbye, but I definitely know I would love to come back in the future. If I can work around my work schedule in the summer, I was invited back to continue volunteering during the summer. Although I would not be able to work as many hours and as many days during the week, I will still get the chance to help out at the hospital.
This experience has been extremely influential and has helped me discover what I'd like to pursue in the future. Although I don't think I want to be specifically a child life specialist, I know for sure I would love to go into the medical field, specializing in pediatrics. Whether it's pre-med or nursing, Rainbow would be a dream job location for me. I absolutely love the atmosphere and the community. I have talked to my other sponsors and they gave me someone to contact in the future for a possible internship with a child life specialist at Rainbow NEXT SUMMER! I'm definitely going for it!

It's so exciting that you may be able to use this experience to help you get an internship, that you've seen through this project that you might want to go into a career related to the work that you've been doing, and that you'll be able to keep working at the hospital over the summer! It's really impressive that you want to go into this field where you'd be doing so much to help children. Good luck!
