Well... we're getting down to the wire; the end of the semester, the end of my internship, and the end of my time here, at Kennedy-KIng. Please, forgive me if I speak a little less about my internship, than I do about the end of my time here at Kennedy-King. My internship is intended to prepare me for a career, in my chosen field, complementing and supplementing the education that I received at Kennedy-King. I suppose that education has served its purpose, inasmuch as I have been offered a position at my place of internship. After close to thirty years in the workforce, I can honestly say, that I would rather not be employed, by any employer, that would have me as an employee (to paraphrase Groucho Marx)! That said, I will be accepting that generous offer, as I have developed the deplorable habit of enjoying the comfort of eating food, and living indoors.

     I am happy to report, on a brighter note,  I have been successful in gaining admission into my school of choice, to pursue the acquisition of my Bachelor's Degree, DePaul University. Kennedy-King has been a great stepping-stone, after thirty years out of the halls of academia, back into the lion's den of scholarly pursuit! I have had to reinvent myself in a hundred different ways, in order to fit into the college environment. The internship, on the other hand, was a snap, after all, I've been working for the last thirty years, and one job is pretty much like another.

     The beauty of the internship that I am serving now, is that it is in an area that allows me to improvise, whereas, the jobs that I have worked, permitted no such innovation; and, as I was always told: "If you are doing something that you love, it ain't work!" Actually, there is room for creativity within certain prescribed limits, in the industry, and if one would be innovative, he must have someone who can appreciate those qualities, in a position of authority, so that he can have his work approved; or he must be in control. My internship is a good fit, because the head of the company, seems to appreciate those qualities, and, as such, it will be a good place for me to hang my hat, until I can realize my dreams of entrepreneurship.

     Meanwhile, I'll be entering DePaul in September, to pursue my greater goal; that of fulfilling my over-reaching aims of attaining a doctorate degree. My internship, and, in a larger sense, KKC, have been pivotal in furthering my advance, toward that goal.
