Morgan             In reviewing the internships available from the listed websites I have chosen three that interest me.  The first I found at the website of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service located at www.fws.com.  This internship would offer me an available knowledge located in an environment I believe I am familiar in a love.  The second internship that interests me is one with the TWRA.  The TWRA is another interest because it would allow me to be outside working with wildlife and protecting it as well. More information can be found at www.twra.org.  Third, I found I would be interested in another outdoor job opportunity located with the environmental protection agency.  This job opportunity strikes me as one that would give back to the future allowing others to enjoy what I have seen and protected.
