“Pursuit to Preservation” is an organization dedicated to educating countries on what we can do to save our planet. Being a large advocate for traveling, I worry that places I one day want to visit, will not be there anymore because of the way we treat our planet. The way we use up our resources, pollute our waters, exert carbon footprint, is quickly deteriorating our planet. The first step on our journey to a clean planet is to educate. Many parts of the world are denied access to education on how to better our planet and resources. Our mission is to travel to many of these countries and teach them the minimal steps in which they can take that in order to preserve our world, communities, and history.

When we do not recycle, tress is killed, we are using up energy, and landfills are reaching capacity. There are so many steps we can take to help save our planet, but in some countries, they are excluded from that type of knowledge or education. Despite preparing myself to become an expert in the ...

     I have never truly realized how challenging and cutthroat it is to land an internship in this job market. Some of the internships I have been applying to only offer a few amounts of spots, but they have a surplus of highly qualified candidates fighting for the job. Also, some of the potential candidates have been grad or master students which significantly adds to the difficulty of landing one as an undergrad. My peers in my major and I are fighting for the same spots in the more prestigious internships, and I recently experienced how competitive it can get.      Last week one of my classmates asked me who I had an interview with. I replied with the firm that I had an interview with and he was in shock since it is very competitive. He abruptly asked me how I landed an interview and I responded with that I had a mutual connection with the person in charge of the internship program. He then proceeds to hide his screen. I than get a glimpse of ...
