So, SFS. Pretty daunting.
Since I was a freshman at Brooks I had worked my hardest to get the internship. I took honors level sciences, I did science oriented jobs over the summer, ANYTHING to show my interest. I had always loved science, so this screamed "GO FOR IT!!!" to me. So when junior year finally came, I went out for the internship. There was an application and an interview before the science department. Unfortunately, I was turned down once for my internship of choice, which was pretty devastating. But thankfully, an internship opened up when the math department offered one originally under the command of the science department working at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, MA. There was another interview, and a similar application process, so I, again, jumped at the opportunity to hopefully receive a spot. A week after March break, I was elated to find that I received the internship....WOOOO!!!! I am now attending Harvard Summer School, and will be commuting on the T to get to my job at the Brigham And Womens Psychiatry Neuroimaging Laboratory, and will be analyzing structural and diffusion MRI scans to see neuroanatomical deficits in people with schizophrenia and related psychiatric disorders....Its a mouthful, but IT IS TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!!!
Longest Blog Post ever, I know, but as anyone at Brooks can probably tell you, I'm pretty passionate about what I'm interested in.
