Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.
I was offered a summer internship in Hawaii this summer on Waikiki beach, and I immediately accepted the offer. Even though that's probably not proper business etiquette, whatever..I did it. And I'm excited. I think.
Since I was offered that internship, I have sort of been trying to justify this decision to myself. When you are in college, the summer is the time you look forward to because you get to be home and just enjoy being. And I am going to willingly be away from home and every thing associated with home? I am going to be away from my family, my boyfriend, my friends from high school. I'll miss out on fun gatherings, Fourth of July in Jersey, and everything that goes on at home. Well, not that I can really complain or expect anyone to feel bad for me because I'll be in Hawaii, but that was just something I was thinking about.
Well, I went to dinner with one of my friends today, and I realized something. I realized that this year has sort of been leading up to me getting this internship.
I stayed in the Tagalog course last semester, even though I really wanted to drop it because I had a heavy course load. A lot of the Hawaiian population is Filipino, so Tagalog would be useful in Hawaii.
Additionally, I worked with the same company last winter in an externship at a couple's only resort in the Poconos. I wasn't going to take it because I am not a nature person. And the POCONOS! Seriously..not the most happening place. But I took it anyway because I didn't want to burn any bridges with the company, and I actually had a good time. I did well when I interviewed with them in February, and now I get to work in this company's hotel on Waikiki beach.
Thus, I realized that everything that has happened to me during Sophomore year has really led up to me getting this internship. Sort of like this was the plan that was set in place for me for the year. It is going to be an amazing experience. I have finally gotten it through my head. I'm ready to let this new beginning in life take it's course. For sure.
