I liked the technical aspect of this internship in which real-world applications of civil engineering were put to use.
What I wish was different
I wish that I had been able to continue working with them despite moving out of my hometown to pursue higher education.
Advice
I would encourage other students to also apply for internship positions despite thinking that they're not qualified enough to land the job, sometimes an eagerness to learn is all it takes.
