Last week when I was in New York, I received some good news. After 6 months of applications, cover letters, and interviews, I finally got an internship for this summer-- and it's in Germany! I will be doing social media marketing for earthfaves, a small company in Saarbrücken. Going to Germany has been a long-time goal of mine, and I am so incredibly excited for this opportunity to experience the German culture and improve my language skills, while learning about marketing and digital media.
I will be arriving in Saarbrücken in exactly 14 days from today, and I have so much to do before then! I still need to find a place to live as well as someone to sublet my room in Fort Worth while I'm gone, and my German business vocabulary could use some major sharpening. I've also got to figure out how to scrape up some cash, because I'm currently as broke as a joke. On top of all that, I still have four final exams to take and a room to pack up before next Friday. It will be a miracle if I manage to pull all this off!
Though I have a lot to be freaking out about, I have complete faith that everything will work out. I have always believed that everything happens for a reason, and I can't help but think this is a part of God's plan for me. This internship is certainly one of the biggest challenges I've ever taken on, but I know that I will learn and grow a lot from this experience.
