Internship Reflection:
"I have learned so much, had so many great experiences, and met so many amazing people through this program. I know that I would love to be a mentor or continue to be involved in the future. I really had a lot of conflicting feelings coming into and sometimes during the program, but I know now, looking back, that I have emerged feeling a tremendous sense of reward and growth. It was a great experience, and I am grateful to TACL for giving me this opportunity."
