with remote work. In addition, the guidance counsellors were all kind and supportive, so at no point did I feel stressed or overwhelmed about the work. Lasting Impressions Overall, I was satisfied with the experience. A few students wrote to me saying they really appreciated the support I gave, which was gratifying to hear! I was surprised by how efficient I had become by the end. I'm keeping my career options open at the moment and am unsure whether I will choose to work in education in the future. That being said, this experience has taught me a lot about working in a school environment with students of this age group and has offered me insight into the education sector, particularly in the university guidance counselling area. Preparing the physics enrichment lecture and writing an interview guide for STEM applicants have also given me an opportunity to develop my science communication skills, both verbal and written. Science communication wasn't something that I had seriously considered before, but after the internship I feel like it is an area that I am willing to explore further.
