They first visited the BYU Museum of Art to see an exhibit of art from the Victorian era and several other exhibits there. Their next stop was the University Mall for a photography exhibit that featured photographs of a group of Chinese monks and a fantasy art exhibit. The trip was then finished with a visit to the Springville Art Museum.
The intern spotlight this week is Hyrum Heward who interns at Mountain View Hospital. He works as a CNA and helps out by changing beds, giving people food, washing old people, testing blood sugar and checking vitals of the patients. Heward likes his jobs there, although he doesn’t enjoy washing old people.
“That part isn’t my favorite. Except for that, I like helping people.”
This internship gives him insight on what he would like to do in his future.
