How will knowing iambicpentameter get me a job? A commoncomplaint among high school students isthat the material they are learning will notbenefit them in the real world. While thereare reasons for the curriculum we follow,frustrated students have another option:internships.This on-the-job opportunity providedstudents with hands-on experience thatcould not be found in the classroom. It wasalso helpful as seniors went about choosingcolleges and careers. The intern programenabled students to choose a business,office, or job site to get real-worldexperience and to find out what a particularjob is like.Most students chose a place that had aconnection to their career plans as well ascollege interests.At first I did it just to get out of school^ r ^ f ^ r ^i r ^ m r ^ r ^ r ^ r 1e^LE^tnUJLeJLnJL^Le 1 ■Adam Bledsoe44 GOTHIC • reflections
