Abstract
This reflection highlights my experience interning this summer at the Northshore Education Consortium in Beverly, Massachusetts. I worked at the Kevin O'Grady School, the largest provider of special education services on the North Shore, where I provided direct support to adolescent male students with emotional, behavioral, and developmental disabilities. Although I was initially unfamiliar with special education, I developed new professional skills and experienced significant personal growth. Through hands-on work, meaningful relationships, and engagement with a different student population, I gained greater clarity and confidence in pursuing a career path that values inclusivity. While my long-term career trajectory remains open, this experience has profoundly shaped my perspective on education and broadened my professional interests.
