This summer he had the opportunity to try something a little bit different- a seven week leadership training opportunity that included an internship!<\/p>\n<p>Two days a week he was at the South Boston Neighborhood House. There were field trips (rock climbing! state parks!) and a summer long project. It was a Shark Tank- develop an idea to present to a group of adults who would score the idea based on creativity, planning and presentation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.obriensr.us\/?attachment_id=2959\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2959\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2959\" src=\"https:\/\/www.obriensr.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_8464-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"190\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.obriensr.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_8464-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.obriensr.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_8464-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.obriensr.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_8464-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.obriensr.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_8464-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.obriensr.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_8464.jpg 1223w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 190px) 100vw, 190px\" \/><\/a>Aidan&#8217;s idea was called &#8220;Sharebrella&#8221;- an umbrella crowd sharing service. It was great! And for a kid who doesn&#8217;t like public speaking- he did a great job!<\/p>\n<p>For his internship, Aidan spent two days a week working at the State House for State Senator Linda Dorcena Forry. He answered questions and helped do research. He also had the opportunity to attend an intern day at the Edward Kennedy Museum.<\/p>\n<p>That left three day weekends which he filled hanging out with friends and being a typical 12 year old boy (video games, Nerf wars, etc). He says it was his favorite summer. We would definitely agree!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.obriensr.us\/?attachment_id=2958\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2958\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2958 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.obriensr.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_8227-260x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"196\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.obriensr.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_8227-260x300.jpg 260w, https:\/\/www.obriensr.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_8227.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aidan&#8217;s past few summers have been mixed with a variety of different camps- some lasting a week or two, all focused on science or computers.
