What I liked

That I got of taste of what being in my field is like. I also loved how I got to see how much work goes into our national and state parks.I was able to work with some really amazing people for the 3 months we were together. It was also very humbling. Never before have I been more thankful for clouds and the little of breezes of wind on 100 degree days.

What I wish was different

It was longer than 3 months. I also would have liked to go on more camping trips.

Advice

get ready for that sun!!! This Texas heat did not come to play.
