Working at the Utah State Legislature during its incredibly busy yet brief 45-day session was an experience unlike any other in my life, and likely unlike anything I will ever experience again. The interns began two weeks before the session officially started, attending a week-long orientation and then essentially working ‘on call’ for anything our assigned legislator needed us to do. The general legislative session began on January 22, and from that point onward the work schedule of each intern depended heavily on their legislator. The first week at the Capitol was spent on training and orientation. The interns met and mingled, which was essential as having a good working relationship with the other interns proved to make much of the work …show more content…
The first, and probably smallest, change was the fact that his office was moved the day before the session started. Most House members have offices in the 0 or 1 floor in the House building, but House leadership get offices on the 3rd floor of the Capitol itself, and Committee Chairs get offices on the 4th floor. This became a good thing for me as only a few yards separated Representative Barlow’s office from the House Gallery, and only a single flight of stairs separated it from the House Floor, which made running errands to and from the office rather …show more content…
Overall, it made for a very busy first half of the session. The internship experience varies widely depending on the intern and their legislator. There were some interns who seemed to spend the entire session down in the intern room, working on everything from mailing out letters to researching school districts. There were other interns who were not given much to do by their legislator, so they did what they could to stay busy by helping other interns who had maybe too much work. Then there were the interns who spent the bulk of their time with their legislator, this seemed to be the case for most of the senate interns, and this was also the case for

My internship began with a short orientation of KPMG’s office located in the Wells Fargo Building of downtown Minneapolis. After some introductions and a few training sessions that outlined what was expected of us in terms of the rules and laws we were required to follow including disclosure of client and firm information and independence affidavits, for example, we were briefed on our trip to Orlando for National Internship Training which would take place the following work day. Training for Partnership-focused federal tax interns would last a whole week filled with events and educational seminars that would introduce us to tax fundamentals and software tutorials that would be helpful during our time with KPMG. National Internship Training would be the primary training session for every KPMG intern in the nation, hosting thousands of interns assigned to all pillars of accounting (audit, tax, and advisory). During meals and events the interns had opportunities to meet interns from around the country helping to expand our professional and social networks, which I found to be one ...

Utah and the Mormon Culture In 1820, Joseph Smith had a vision in Palmyra, New York, of God and his son, Jesus Christ telling him to reorganize the church of Jesus Christ. During the next 10 years, Joseph was visited by other heavenly messengers, translated the Book of Mormon and established the Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints. Many years thereafter, the Mormons relocated from Nauvoo, Illinois because of religious persecution (PBS Online). In Illinois, Joseph Smith had succeeded in establishing a religion which brought together its followers both sociologically and economically.

Initially, the Founders intended to have a limit on the amount of time any one person could serve. In the Articles of Confederation, a rotation in office system was described, so that no one person could remain in a position for decades on end. However, this was abandoned in the Constitution because it was deemed unnecessary. At the time of the nation’s founding, the occupation of “politician” did not exist. One could hold an office for a number of years, but it was not considered a career path. Originally, politicians were seen as making great sacrifices, because they stepped away from their family and primary jobs for a number of years to serve their country, before returning to their normal lives (Vance, 1994, p. 429). In the words of Founding Father Roger Sherman, “The representatives ought to return home and mix with the people. By remaining at the seat of the government, they will acquire the habits of the place, which might differ from those...
Apart from the experience I have gained at LT Security Inc., my various internship positions have also exposed me to eye-opening responsibilities.
