I can’t believe that it is my last week
at the Jessamine County Extension Office! I am so sad that my internship is
coming to an end, but so thankful to have had this opportunity. The past twelve
weeks have been filled with such a wide variety of programs and events that
have made my summer a blast!
For my
project I have put together a training for the officers for our teen council. Today
is day one of my training and I am so excited for it to start. The training
includes a scavenger hunt around the community, goal setting for the year, brushing
up on expectations, parliamentary procedure review, Kentucky 4-H achievement
program information, attending the Breakout Games in Lexington, Kentucky 4-H state
board’s information, leadership building activities, and much more!
At 9am
this morning we will start our weekly Clover Dashers program. This is a program
for our teen girls on healthy living. I usually teach a thirty minute lesson
each week on a topic ranging from healthy eating to self-esteem, then my
supervisor Cathy, leads the girls in a couch to 5K running program for the
other thirty minutes. This weekly program has been a lot of fun to do this
summer. It has been great to see how excited these teens are to get active
especially during their summer break!
I am sad
that my internship is over after tomorrow, but hopefully this is just the start
of my career in the Cooperative Extension Service! And I can’t forget, over the
next year I will still be coming back to the office at least twice a month too,
because I am an advisor for the teen council here. So although my internship is
coming to an end, it really just means that there are new beginnings!
