Soon after my return from Toronto my internship ended.

Initially, my nerves were threatening to derail me when I started. I knew I had gotten the job out of all the applicants for a reason; my application, interview, resume, and essay was thorough, but I was still nervous after I accepted the offer. I was the prototype and I knew I had to set the bar high. I was participating in a program that was named after one of the oldest and most influential partners in the firm that had passed on. So after continuous cups of chamomile tea the first week, I became more self-assured.

The exposure, interactions, and work I have done over the last weeks have been invaluable to me. I now know that I don’t have to tie myself down to one thing, I can really do everything that interests me. This has truly been a great summer for opportunities, and I am without a doubt thankful for all of them.



My first time trying red velvet at my farewell party. So good.
