H1 got to work with people who get paid to do my dream job, and the experience was great, it really reaffirmed that this is what I want to do with my life Fuhrman said. Fuhrrnan said being in a new city without his friends and family was the hardest part. His most memorable experience was during the shows jayaZ and Eminem concert, UjayaZ had me sing along with him to Empire State of Mind during a commercial break. That was awesomefl Fuhrrnan said. Kim, who is majoring in marine biology, seized the opportunity to spend her summer as a marine science intern at the Perry Institute for Marine Science in Lee Stocking Island. Researchers and scientists from all over the country base their research off Lee Stocking Island because of the many geographic features found there such as blue holes, mangroves and coral reefs? Kim said. For Kim, adjusting to the island was hard. Hlt was different compared to city life in Miami. . ,There were no stores, no restaurants, no bars. But there were lots of beautiful beaches, hiking trails all around the island, and amazing places to dive and snorkel, Kim said. Kim did have access to the Internet, which helped her communicate with her loved ones. She also had access to a television set, which kept her from missing important moments. ltThere was only one television set on the island but I had cable TV which was awesome during the World Cup! Kim said. For many students, like Fuhrman and Kim, a summer internship reinforces their love for their future career and allows them to Visit a place they have never been able to see. HJust one summer at Lee Stocking Island showed me how great it is to also get away from the hustle and bustle... and that there is so much out there waiting to be discovered, Kim said. t'The lineal world' might be big and scary, but I am prepared to really succeed in it after this summer's experiences.

By Christopher Hardgrove and interviews by K ylie Banks $ ItAfter move in day, my parents and I decided to go out for dinner in the Grove. I was feeling really homesick, so I just started crying a little bit in the middle of the restaurant. My mom leaned over and started crying too.
