I could seriously jump for joy! Today could quite possibly be the best
day ever!!! You may be thinking to yourself “Self, today doesn’t seem very
special. What is this girl talking about?” Well, let me tell you! Today is the
day that I got an internship with Compassion International! For those of you
who are currently asking yourself a new question “Self, what is Compassion International?”
Compassion is a Christian child advocacy
ministry which desires to release children around the world from the grips of
poverty through education and sponsorship. They currently sponsor 1.2 million
children in 26 countries!
I have been involved with this ministry since
high school when I began to sponsor my first child. Since that point my sponsor
child has left the program and because I am now a broke college student I could
not support another one. I found out in August that Compassion was hiring
college interns for the 2012 summer and immediately knew I HAD to apply.
Unfortunately I could not apply until December, but even then I could not guess
the journey I would go through from that point until now.
