This summer I am living one of my biggest dreams, working for NASA. I am so thankful to SPS for providing me with this opportunity. This has been my first experience working closely with SPS and I’m loving it.

Jose Corona

I arrived to Washington DC on Sunday, a day before the start of the internship, and to be honest I was nervous.  Despite being nervous, I was excited more than anything.  I was excited to see what was in store for me this summer, and the many opportunities to learn something new.

When I first found out that I was accepted for this internship and that I would be spending the summer in Washington D.C., I made it my goal to be on a first name basis with Barack and Michelle Obama. And while I didn’t come anywhere close to achieving this, I still could not be happier that I went. This summer was an insanely good experience for me. I met a lot of great people, lived in a completely new environment, had a lot of unforgettable experiences, and did a lot of work that I think could really benefit the education system in America.

I am all settled in San Jose, California now, my first semester as an Aerospace Engineering grad student at San Jose State is well underway. As a physics undergrad turned engineering grad, I was worried about leaving physics behind and not being involved in the physics world anymore.

I still can’t believe my fortune in being chosen for this internship! Getting to live in D.C. and work at NASA were both incredible stand-alone experiences. Together they constituted the best summer I have ever had! I had so much fun cruising around DC and meeting so many great people!

Shauna LeFebvre

As I am getting settled in at Union for my senior year, I can't help but to think back on the summer.  It seems like just yesterday I was moving into the apartment in D.C.  I'm so grateful for all that I've experienced this summer.

People often say that it is easy to get wrapped up in life events and forget to take a moment to reflect. I can certainly agree! The end of summer brought an end to the SPS internship and a whole new set of things to tackle (like moving into a new house and the start of another term of classes).

Things were a little strange after the final presentations on Friday of last week. I knew that this was the end for everyone else besides Shauna and myself.

I find myself back in my hometown in disbelief that this summer ever happened. There is a lot to take from an opportunity like this: The length of the internship, the housing location, and the social events were perfect.
