What are the two most important things you learned through your internship?

"I learned that everyone starts exactly where you are. Internships are the best way to network! Your site may one day offer you a position and be the home of your career. It was especially comforting to find out that many of the staff attorneys at Sanctuary for Families had been interns themselves! Discussing post-college options and law school opportunities with many staff members gave me the determination and motivation to make all my dreams come true in due time."
