Speaker 1
How's the job search been going?
Speaker 2
Not bad but it's going slow. I am hoping to get an internship in the sports medicine field.  
Speaker 1
That would be awesome. Does your school have any good connections to those type of internships?
Speaker 2
It isn't the best school in the country for sports medicine, but the program is pretty well regarded. I've spent the past few hours asking some of my professors to write letters of recommendation to a couple of clinics around the area.
Speaker 1
Ah, that's a great idea. So you study sports medicine, and you play soccer. That is a great match. Are you on your college sport's team, or do you just play for fun nowadays?
Speaker 2
Yeah, I've been lucky to find 2 things that I love that complement each other so well. I haven't had the time to play on the college team this semester, but I think I'm going to take 1 less class next fall so that I can join the team.
Speaker 1
Good for you. College sports are so much more competitive now than they were when I was growing up. Then again, at this point, hiking is about the only thing my knees can handle.
Speaker 2
Yeah, they are huge right now. What kind of places do you like to go hiking?
Speaker 1
I like to hike along the coast. The ocean is beautiful, and there is a trail that leads down to the beach. Do you ever go to the beach?
Speaker 2
That sounds so relaxing! I have been going a lot recently. Some of my friends who live on the water in Jersey are teaching me how to surf.
Speaker 1
Surfing is great! Nowadays, I just collect shells and watch the waves.
Speaker 2
Did you ever surf when you were younger? I'm absolutely awful at it right now.

I'm retired. I have a neighbor named John. John likes to play soccer. I long for all people to have equality. I don't really believe in voting. I have bad knees. Because of my knees, hiking is the only athletic activity I can do. I like coastal hikes. I like to go to the beach to collect shells and watch the waves.
Speaker 2
I am currently unemployed. I like playing soccer. I'm hoping to play on my college soccer team next fall. I'm a college student at FDU. My mother runs a high school. She is very kind. I am an only child. I'm searching for an internship in sports medicine. I'm currently in school for sports medicine. I have been going to the beach a lot recently. I'm learning how to surf from friends who live on the New Jersey coast. I'm still not very good at surfing.
Speaker 1
You inspired me to dig out my old surfboard and take it down to the beach.
Speaker 2
Oh that's so cool! How was it on your knees? 
Speaker 1
Not too bad; hopefully it isn't one of those things where the soreness shows up a few days later. Maybe it'll come back to me. Are your friends pretty experienced surfers?
Speaker 2
Yeah they've been surfing their whole lives! So they are pros. But they are good at helping a beginner like me.
Speaker 1
That's awesome. Perhaps I'll get to the point where I just ask a local for some pointers; feel free to pass some along. How is the soccer season going?
Speaker 2
I'm just training right now. I really hope to get a walk on spot on the school team this year!
Speaker 1
Right on; best of luck! How's the training? Lots of drills?
Speaker 2
Yeah just trying to build up my stamina more than anything, and make sure my reflexes are super sharp! Next time you see John, see if he has any tips for me
Speaker 1
I'll definitely let him know about you. Would you be okay with him reaching out to you directly? He's always excited to share his soccer knowledge.
Speaker 2
Oh man, that would be great, thank you! I really want to make the team so I need all the help I can get!
Speaker 1
Sounds good. Have your professors been pretty receptive to writing letter for you?
Speaker 2
For the internship? Yeah they've been great. I'm really lucky I've got cool profs this year.

Speaker 1
How's the internship hunt going?
Speaker 2
It's tough right now to be honest. Not enough internships for too many students.
Speaker 1
I am sorry to hear that. The job market should pick up soon. The good thing about being in the medical field is that there is always a need for more help!
Speaker 2
Sports medicine is so popular right now. All the young sports fans grown up I guess. 
Speaker 1
Well, keep confidence in yourself that you are the best of the best and will outshine the competition!
Speaker 2
I hope so. Everyone else has all these connections through family and stuff. Their dad knows someone, etc. Gotta beat that.
Speaker 1
Keep up the surfing and maybe you will make some connections that way.
Speaker 2
That's true. I've heard that a lot of doctors surf on breaks to get their minds clear. Good idea
Speaker 1
That would be really helpful to link up with a doctor!
Speaker 2
Maybe I can just pretend to get hurt surfing and one can come check out my knee.
Speaker 1
Now you are thinking! Must get creative!
Speaker 2
HAHA. I like how this is going. I'll figure out the beach closest to a hospital.

Im manipulative.
Speaker 1
I met this guy at work who's wife is an athletic trainer, they asked me to pass their info on to you to discuss possible internships!
Speaker 2
That would be great- thanks so much!   I have searched online a lot for internships but it is tricky in my field.  What do you do for a living in the medical field?
Speaker 1
You are so welcome. I am retired now but I was a PA- physician assistant. Now I enjoy hanging out at the beach. With my knees the way they are the ocean water seems to make them feel better. So how much longer before you graduate?
Speaker 2
I have another year- so this year is really important I get internships and start making connections in the field.   I love going to the beach too.  What happened with your knees that now cause you so much pain?
Speaker 1
I think age has really been my knees downfall. I also used to hike a lot and I put a lot of pressure on my legs. That is great that you only have a year. Maybe when you graduate you can come hang out on the beach with me. I can't surf but I would love to watch you.
Speaker 2
That would be fun!  I like collecting shells too so we could do that as well.  I have a small collection of ones I have from around the world.  The farthest away was from Greece.  Have you traveled a lot?
Speaker 1
I have. I love Europe. I have been to many countries there but I have not gone to Greece yet. I would love to. The scenery and architecture is amazing. Have you gotten to visit other European countries?
Speaker 2
I have.   I have also been to France and Ireland.  Where have you been in Europe?
Speaker 1
Oh gosh. I have been to France, England, Ireland, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Germany, Leichenstein, Spain, and much of Mexico, and Bermuda. I just love to travel but I have not been able to recently and with my knees I cannot sit in coach anymore and first class is so expensive. Do you plan on settling any place in particular once you graduate? 
Speaker 2
That's awesome you have been so many places!   I  am not sure where I will setlle down after graduation.  It probably will depend whether I decide to go further in my education or not and I have any residency requirements with that.   I do like the heat though so  hopefully somewhere sunny!
Speaker 1
Oh I forgot my most favorite place- Italy. I am sure you will have so many opportunities when you graduate. You will have people knocking down your door. You could go anywhere with that degree. WOuld you like Florida? I personally cannot deal with that much heat but sounds like you would like it there. My brother lives in Cape Coral on one of the canals and he loves it. Other than FLorida what other warm place would you like?
Speaker 2
Maybe California- I dont think I want to live where hurricanes happen every year!  Does your brother deal with that a lot?
