Day 91: MOWI Finale- Exit Interview

Yesterday I finally finished my portfolio. The biggest event today was the exit interview, which I was surprisingly not worried about. It was a very casual talk about my future and my thoughts about the internship. I shared what I didn't like and what I liked. I really enjoyed working with the dietitians and interns.

At the beginning of the internship, I was very reserved and took me a while to warm up. The personality didn't shine until later and Sherry thought I didn't have a personality. But I am quite a personality (maybe). I need to show my personality faster at an interview. She said I have good writing skills (in my head, I was what?! For real). She said I am the one holding myself in doing things. The most unexpected thing she said was she sees me becoming a PhD professor. That would be the LAST thing on my mind. Even though I really want to make a difference in the community, that would be my last path. However, you have to become someone in order for others to listen to you... maybe PhD could be a path for me. After she said that, I gave it a serious thought...  Lilly just said she sees me in becoming a clinical dietitian.

The challenge she had for me was to start a study group for nutrition in Wisconsin. That would be a big challenge. Also, I need to stand out more from the crowd by speaking up and taking initiative! AND I need to focus in bringing my gpa up, GRE etc. I will be fine... I think...

I know my problem... I know I am not confident enough and always think that I'm not capable. Sherry said I am smart and analytical and I know more than I think...

It's so hard to say goodbye and I will miss everything and everyone in Fort Worth. It's hard to believe that I'm actually leaving and not going to see them anytime soon...:( It's weird.

This summer has been the best so far.

Thank you for everything!!!!! :)
