This semester I participated in an internship at Monterey Language Services. My learning expectations when going into the internship were to learn how to respond to opportunities.

After my internship, I exceeded my educational expectations. I learned that being proactive is the best way to be successful. It will allow you to start tasks, complete them and if you do them correctly, you will be set up for more in the future. Also, deadlines and quality are vital.

Monterey Language Services has this desire. A need to produce things on time in the best means possible. This is a good strategy to follow for every product or service developed by a company.

Overall my internship at Monterey Language Services has expanded my horizons much more than an in-text education would bring me. It has focused my attention to finding the opportunity in every problem instead of finding the problem in every opportunity.

I now own a company called Interkonnekt where we do social media marketing. This would never have happened without the help of Monterey Language Services giving me the realization and motivation to take action.

Baby steps, one step at a time in the right direction. That is all it takes. Always moving, never stagnant. That is the key to success.

A Story by Matthew Stone

When you are a teenager, the world is a big place, especially when you go out to explore it.

I left home when I was 16, heading out to Germany, while knowing no German. Sometimes the hardest thing was simply staying awake, listening to words 24 hours a day when I had no idea. But I stayed because I wanted to be a professional soccer player.

I had spent so many years of my life trying to play in Europe and finally the opportunity had arrived. Nothing could tamper my motivation, not even the language barrier. The frozen fields and gummi platz (German playing surface) that engulfed me for countless hours only added to my passion with its new aura.

So writing to you years later as a college student, do I look back and say I did not achieve my dream? Or did my pursuit of one open up new doors? Because of my desire to play soccer, I now am fluent in German and have been awakened to the world. This has resulted in me traveling around the world as well as picking up an internship in Austria. It was not easy but you never find anything new if you trample the path that has already been worn.
