Keep up the internship and volunteer after it is over. Depending on where you are in your undergraduate years you might want to check out the Washinton Center. I got an intership through them in the early eighties, (When it was really difficult to fine an internship-we only had

them through kara Owen  [log in to unmask] Good luck.
