One Step Closer to an Internship!

Hello! My name is Wesley Enos and I started this blog to keep record of the new internship I'm going to have over the next year. My high school, California High School, is offering a brand new class that lets seniors find internships and leave during 6th period to go work and pursue jobs of their interest. As school just started a few weeks ago most of us are still looking for internships but soon we will all be on our own working and tasting what our lives will be like in the near future.
I think I may have found an internship that suits my interests perfectly; interning for an engineer at Chevron Headquarters! I love math and science so I know that engineering is something I would love doing in the future. If all goes according to plan my internship will start in about two weeks and I will get to begin gaining knowledge and experience that will lead me to my career! Unfortunately, Chevron is hesitant to let high school students intern but my mentor, the man that said I would be able to get an internship there and hopefully shadow him, said he should be able to get it to come through. Senior year is going to be so exciting if this internship really does come through.
Additionally, I look forward to working hard my senior year. Everyone claims that senior year is a breeze but I chose to challenge myself by taking 2 A.P. classes and classes that I must work hard in to pass. Even if I'm not at Chevron I'm still very excited to work and learn skills that I can use for my career. Though most people hate the thought of working, I have never been so excited to work and learn skills because the knowledge I will gain is on subjects that I want to know more about. Subjects that I am interested in and not forced into learning. I think about how much I am going to learn everyday and I don't think anyone has ever been so anxious.
Hopefully the internship works out, but for now I'll just cross my fingers.

  1. Excellent introduction to your iQuest blog. I would like to have read what else you are looking forward to during your senior year. Perhaps you can revise your blog and add that information.
