Reflections on My LLP Internship

The Community that Every LLP Major and Minor Should Know

LLP Social Media Intern

“It is in literature that the concrete outlook of humanity receives its expression”
 -Alfredo North Whitehead

     I am completely grateful for my time here as the social media intern at the Language,
Literature, and Philosophy Department. Throughout my time at TSU as an English major I never came across any one else that shared the same passion as me for writing and literature until now. 
     Being in this environment with professors who want the best for me when it comes to a career with an English degree and coming across my wonderful peers that have a genuine love for writing and literature is something that I never thought I would see in my four years here at TSU. As stated in my first blog, every time I would mention to others that I was an English major I would get a negative reaction. 
     However, spending my time here as the social media intern, my choice of major and of study has turned into a positive reaction for others and for myself. 
      The English department does not get all the recognition they truly deserve. The professors work hard to show each student that they matter. They do everything in their power to improve student writing and set them up for success in their future. The students are extremely deserving and passionate about literature and expressing themselves through the art of literature.
     The art of literature and the English department is constantly overlooked and I sincerely hope that during my time here as the intern, I was able to bring some kind of recognition to a department that truly deserves it and have gravitated more passionate students towards this amazing study. 
   Lastly, to the department chair, Dr. Pinkard thank you for opening this amazing opportunity to me and I want to express my gratitude for your everlasting help with everything.
