"My internship has helped me to develop the fundamentals I learned in the classroom
into actual skills that are applicable in the work force. Instead of learning about
encryption in a classroom, today I actually started developing an encryption system
for logging protocols by implementing what I learned in class and using those fundamentals
to lay the groundwork for a system that will be beneficial to the company."
