Furthermore, researcher deeply explore their internship experiences. Following are the findings of this research: 1. The intern suddenly realized and gained the knowledge through boundary-encounter what he/she learned before having internship with what he/she learned in practical circle, then knew his/her ability is not available in practical circle. 2. The intern has multimembership in his/her own life. It is necessary to reconcile one identity to maintain in the community of internship. After the work of reconciliation, the intern would know “who I am”, and spontaneously performs Accountability. 3. Before participating the internship or doing project, the intern would receive some messages about this program or project which is meaningful to him/her. He /She would take it as commitment then construct imagination. Different identities would come from encounter imagination with reality. 4.
