Now, I’m going into my third week and the business class atmosphere can be overwhelming. You have to learn to pace yourself through a multitude of work tasks that pile up endlessly.
The work ethic required to succeed here is on a level that I have never imagined. Throughout the last couple of years, I have pushed myself very hard 50 to 60 hours a week at times, but this pushes the ceiling on that work methodology that I have created thus far for myself.
I have already begun planning to stay at my current internship because as challenging as it is, I think it is right where I belong. I will continue to push myself to adapt and succeed.
Lastly, I have been euphorically thrilled with the opportunities that have opened up for me. Next Monday, I have an interview with a state grant consulting agency in Arizona.
