I thought I’d share how I ended up in Boston doing this music internship after expecting to be at acting school in Chicago for the next four years. Maybe this will help someone in a place of transition—looking for direction.

Hello!

Everyone, I am Patrick Bonsi and I just started an internship with TMC Youth and The Christian Science Monitor. I always love taking on new experiences—from, from traveling half way round the world for school, to going to spending a great summer with children at camp. As a junior in college I knew that at some point I would have to do an internship, and I was ready to embrace the adventure.

Moving into the Asher house here in Boston was quite a memorable experience. I felt very included from the beginning, from helping my roommates move furniture to going out for dinner with them my roommates on my first day at the house.

Here’s a re-cap of the last few weeks of my internship. The Mother Church Sunday School put up some murals created by the kids. They’re beautiful! So I got to help with a team of people to decide where the mural should be hung. One is of a large tree, and the other is a representation of The Sermon on the Mount. You should come see them for yourself if you’re ever in the area! They’re impressive.

In Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy defines Christ as, “The divine manifestation of God, which comes to the flesh to destroy incarnate error.” In my search for community in Christ, I’ve loved this idea of God’s manifestation that destroys error, evil, fear, confusion, worry, and grief is the foundation that supports this community.

Hey, I’m Kendra Scott and I’m a music intern here at The Mother Church. I’m an acting major and attended school in Chicago this past fall. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. My family and I bounced around living in different countries until we finally settled here in Massachusetts. This is where I’ve been living for most of my life.

So what does being a music intern entail? Really, anything including organizing the library of solos to reviewing music demos from artists all over the world sent to The Christian Science Publishing Society.

The last my Bible Lesson of the year has been edited, I’ve sat through my final Bible scholar meeting, and now my four weeks are up. I’ve contributed quite a bit to the my Bible Lesson product and have enjoyed seeing a product develop from beginning to end.

Among the numerous jobs and activities I was involved in I most enjoyed the editing work I did for my Bible Lesson. Many people put a lot of thought and time into developing and designing the extra features in each Lesson. Being able to review and refine these features, as well as suggest new ideas was valuable and rewarding. It will be exciting to see the work I’ve done arrive on the web for distribution! I am glad to know the writing, editing, and organizational skills I’ve developed during high school and college have not been for nothing. I’m now more prepared for the work force than I thought I would be at this point.

I’m Tyler Maltbie, and for an all too brief four weeks and two days this winter, I am working as a publishing production intern in the Bible Lesson Products Department of the Publishing Society. I’m back home here in Boston where I’ve temporarily traded in my backpack and mountain bike for a brown bag lunch and an hour-long commute. I’m making the most of my last winter break from Principia College.

I have grown quite fond of this big town they call Boston. Every aspect of my experience here-this internship, new friendships, city life, spiritual growth-has become very rich over these couple of months. I have to admit, when I first arrived after having spent a year living near the charming city of Chicago, I was a little skeptical. But the more I looked around me, the more I began to notice how much Boston has to offer.

It’s as if there’s this giant reflecting pool, full of opportunities to get outside of myself and grow into a new realm of understanding, but it’s up to me to decide if I want to just walk on by, dip my toe in, or jump right in. Fortunately, unlike the reflecting pool outside my office window on The Mother Church plaza, there aren’t any “No Swimming” signs or security guards at my pool-it’s fair game!

by Miranda Miller

Hi! My name is Miranda and I’m the newest TMC Youth intern. I used to think I had somewhat of a unique name, until I found myself living with Katja, Annika, and Huguette (my 3 fabulous housemates). Now, I try to make my name sound more exciting by saying it with an enthusiastic Spanish accent. I’ve been living in Beantown for about a month now, working as an intern for The Mother Church’s Integrated International Planning Team. With a department name like that, you’d think we were all superheroes trying to make the world a better place, and you’d be right, minus the capes. But even if I were Bionic Woman, I wouldn’t tell you here. (more…)
