I started late. All of my classmates had their internship by April. I was still interviewing. What did I learn? Don't procrastinate. Don't allow fear to keep you avoiding it. The brighter side of several interviews is practice! I had a chance to perfect my self presentation. I had a chance to build more confidence. Although the confidence level was a roller coaster ride in and of itself. I have a lot of people to thank for keeping me going. My friends and colleagues were always there to encourage me and tell me to keep going. My practicum supervisor was amazing and encouraged me a great deal. No matter how much this battle made me want to quit he convinced me not to. He believed in me so much that I had to pay attention to it. If there are so many people who believe in me....well, then why can't I believe in myself. And that made all the difference. Believing in myself got me the job I had wanted all along. By the time I got to that interview I had practiced 2 already. It went wonderful and now I am working on getting my provisional license in Kansas. I found my destination after all. This long hard road does have a light at the end.
