Hello! My name is Nathan, and I'm a Senior at Newton North High School. For my CAPS project, I'm going to be interning at both the Massachusetts State House in Boston, MA, and the Newton–based non–profit Understanding Our Differences. I chose those two places because they are really interesting to me. Also, I'm really passionate about advocating for people with disabilities, and I want to explore that passion, both at the state level, and at the local level. The reason why I choose to intern at both the State House and Understanding Our Differences is because I want to take my passion on advocating for people with disabilities, at least at the State house, even further, and push myself to explore different opportunities and learn new ways of thinking. I've been a big fan of Understanding Our Differences for a long time, and as I have interned with them last summer, I know how they do things there, and I want to implement a disability awareness campaign that is focused on high school students while I'm interning there.
