"I had often thought about taking a year off after high school, and luckily, my parents supported that idea. We were working with an educational consultant who recommended Dynamy. It seems to me that there are no other programs quite like Dynamy, which offers structure, yet a lot of freedom and a chance to discover what interests you in the work world."

"During each of my internships, I learned to be assertive in the work place, and I realized that working 35-40 hours a week isn’t as easy as it looks, but it is gratifying. I also learned through my internship with the Surge that I want to change my major to Sports Management with a minor in Finance. "

"I was a straight-A student and a dedicated athlete throughout high school. I worked extremely hard, and by the time I got to senior year, the last thing I wanted to think about was another 4 years in school. College has always been part of my plans, but I also realized that I have a lot of life to live. I wanted to take a year off but also wanted to continue learning, so I decided to take the experiential education route; it brought me straight to Dynamy. "

Internship(s): Worcester Publishing IT Dept., Channing Terrace Community Center
Career Interests: Technical support, electronics, computer repair

" Having little experience in the workplace, I learned a great deal about the office environment. I also learned that when I put my mind to it, I can accomplish a lot. Completing the task of setting up a Linux web server was a huge asset to Worcester Magazine. It’s something they will always use, and something I will always know how to do. It was also very interesting to see how all the individual departments came together to accomplish one goal, and how I actually made a large impact on that process. My internship reinforced my desire to work in the information technology field. Not only am I good at it, I can also relate well to the people working in the field."
