Through my internship at Camden Jobtrain, Iwant to improve my understanding of the hardships that teenagers face when living in such a huge city. My Strategy for accomplishing this is to talk with the students about their life experiences and aspirations.
I want to develop my understanding, and apply what I already know to reach out to these teenagers. One of my goals is to help atleast one of the students, i want to reach out to them so i can learn more and more about them.
I hope to identify with the teenagers, and apply myself in getting to know them better, and helping them to trust me. I want the teenagers to be comfortable with me so that I can learn from them about their life problems and what they are doing in changing themselves for the better. In order to do this i will treat them as adults and listen to all they have to say.
I hope to develop and get to know myself better as a person. This internship and time abroad is a growing experience and I will use it as just that. I want to get as much out of my time at the internship, as well as in London that i can. I will do this by applying myself and not letting myself slack. I will get to know the culture and everything that is a part of London life.
Lastly, I hope to get a better understanding of exactly what I want to do when I graduate college next year. I will accomplish this by seeing if i like what i am doing, and also seeing what age of people i want to work with.

These are quite noble and inspiring goals you've set for yourself, and I admire your compassion and dedication to important issues. The only piece missing is the strategies -- the HOW you will accomplish these objectives. Take a look at the instructions about learning objectives in your pink handbook, and you'll see exactly how to articulate your strategies. An example to getting the teenagers to trust you might be:
Listen compassionately and without judgment to their issues.
You do not have to fix them right now, but you'll probably want to adapt them a bit before the end of the internship.
