I’m going to start this off by doing what my family calls “Gratitudes.” It’s what we say as grace before a meal, a way of saying ‘thank you, God’ for the good in your day so far. As I see it, this interning experience was my spiritual meal. So I guess I’m doing my grace after the meal.
The biggest lesson I’ve learned during my internship couldn’t have been planned. It came about from simply watching everyone around me enjoy their days in all of the departments I worked in. To be honest, I’d never had a 9-5, sit at a desk with a computer sort of a job before…or any conventional job, really. I’ve always spent my summers being a camp counselor. And then during the school year, I worked as a life guard for a 4 or 5 hours each day.
