I am majoring in Psychology with a track in pre-therapy, I have a minor in communications completed and am looking to add a minor in Data Science so long as the courses I have taken that would fulfill that requirement would be able to even though they were for my major/general credit. Some of you may have met me at NFB during the Human Services devision meeting (which was quite a wonderful experience).

> Since I am a senior, part of my graduation requirements are to do an internship either during the semester or during a summer for credit. I am wondering if anyone here could share there experiences with me about how they found internships, contacted the organizations, responses to having a visual disability and any other information you may find useful/are willing to share would be great.
> I am looking into an opportunity currently that would be in a girl’s home so if anyone has experience with that sort of environment that would be great. The staff at the organization have received my application (allowing me to submit it electronically instead of the standard snail mail), letters from my references, interviewed me (a short interview asking me why I am interested in the position Etc.) and I am planning to schedule for the more comprehensive interview next week. If I make it past the comprehensive interview, I will then visit their location and see what the home is like, interact with residents and staff and a final decision will be made after a couple of days.
> I am sorry for the length of this post but I wanted to give as much explanation as possible so that all of you could better understand my question.
> Thanks for reading and responding.

Hello, my name is Sherria and I have a method degree in human services. I have done to internship one at a shelter for homeless women and children and the other one was the net a transitional house I enjoyed both of them but I really enjoyed the transitional house The people of either and the family were very receptive to the fact that I had a visual impairment and they were open and willing to share their homeland Ness experiences and bake took my advice. They thank me for everything and I stayed in contact with them even after I finished my internship. This experience made me humble because I never knew how much people experienced while Indian speak if you have any questions you can email me or call me at 443-865-3513.
