What is your attitude towards this internship? What are some things you are looking forward to?
I am very positive about this year because I believe that the Charney Resolution Center will expand its mission to other parts of the world to create “Spies for Peace”. I am desperately looking forward to working with the members of the Charney RC this year.

I believe that the Charney RC will expose me to new challenging grounds that question the society, and me about core social issues that need to be addressed. My goals are being flexible enough to change my views in matters, openness to be able to coordinate opposing sides, and reaching out to new people that I otherwise never thought that I would encounter.
