Where I Am Going
Human proposes, God disposes.
Short Term
I am a graduate assistant. I came into this internship to see if QA was a fit for me. It was more than a fit. In the short term I want to go deeper into automation, get better at API testing, and start bringing what I have learned into the academic work I already do.
Long Term
I want to teach people what QA actually is. Not just the job title but the thinking behind it. Whether that is in a classroom or a tech community, I want to help people understand why quality matters before a product reaches users. I do not have a fixed destination. I am going with what feels right. Human proposes, God disposes.
What I Take From This
I came in thinking QA was mostly about finding bugs. I leave knowing it is about communication, precision, and being honest when something you did was wrong. I failed three stages. I paid twice to stay in. Every piece of feedback made something in my work better, even when it was hard to read. This internship did not just teach me QA. It taught me to keep going when things are not working, and to be honest about what I do not know yet.
