I learned a lot of valuable lessons at my internship at Planned Parenthood last summer. I learned how to navigate the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority subway in Boston while wearing heels, the importance of wearing breathable business-casual attire during New England summers and how to copy and collate reports while also doing calf raises to optimize my time spent in the office. But the most important lesson I took from my time at Planned Parenthood had nothing to do with corporate fashion or the sweltering summer heat: Most importantly, I learned how to ignore the ubiquitous protestors.
