Week of November 7

     Keep Forsyth Beautiful is very much a partner in my education because they foster my development into the field that I want to find a career in. In my opinion, they provide greater education than any class that I take in school because I am actually interested in the stuff that I am learning in my internship, compared to the stuff that I learn in school.

     I have learned about several careers in my internship, including Storm Water Runoff Maintenance, Land water runoff stakesmen, and drinking water facility manager. All of these jobs pertain, in some form or fashion, to the Environmental Engineering field. All of these jobs I see myself possibly going into. My mentor has done a superb job making sure that I obtain as much exposure to any, and every, career that falls into the Environmental Engineering field.

    I have met several goals so far. The first on being, exposure to many different fields so that I can come up with my Essential Question to display at my presentation later in the year. Some goals however have changed. Initially my mentor and I thought that we would have more time to explore possible careers in the environmental engineering field, but as time went by our goals changed to really being this essential question project. This project has really taken off in the last week due to my discovering of this question after some talk with some folks at Sawnee Mountain Preserve.
