Know It’s Yours! Summer Internship!

Hello all the wonderful people in the world!

Well first I would like to thank Rhonda and her team for making all my dreams come true one by one! I am beyond grateful to the Universe and each and every one of you who shared your story on this site. Whenever I lose hope, all of you give me courage and strength to keep going and believing with all my heart!

I am an international student in my senior year and I have just one more semester left before I graduate. Which is not all that bad because I have an extra summer to work for an internship and eventually get a job! My hunt for this internship was intense!! I started in September of 2017 for Summer 2018 and submitted to over for 100 jobs and changed almost 5 resumes!

I was lucky enough to get “The Power” from Amazon as an audiobook and I started listening to it in April! That was when I realized how I was completely wrong about my approach to getting this internship. I was worried and literally would get chills in my spine if someone mentioned “Internship”. I changed my approach and started believing!

I wrote down in my diary how I am super thankful that I got my internship and that it is base is in Seattle. I also wrote down my salary and how once the internship is completed, I will be offered a full time position.

Every time I applied for a job, I did it with a smile! I told all my colleagues that I got an internship in Seattle in my dream company and everyone was super happy for me! Months passed by and I had no response from the internship. I still did not lose hope until one day I saw one of my friends share a summer internship position! I quickly acted upon it and conveyed my interest in the position to my friend and applied for it! Within no time I got the HR to call me and thereby started my interview process.
Now, my first interview went amazing but I was still a little scared whether I would get it or not. I then had my second interview which was super bad! I still did not lose hope and got a call back for a third time. My third went good but again I was skeptical and this process just went on! I had in total of 5 interviews but can you believe after each and every interview a part of me would be skeptical. However, after the fourth interview I knew with all my heart that this was a position made for me!

I then got called in for my final interview and this was for 4 hours with my boss, his colleague, their boss and the VP of the company! Needless to say because of my confidence I nailed it! It was absolutely amazing! The best part was that they kept mentioning how I would be able to get a full time position if I do really good!

Now, this company was not in Seattle but once when I was down on Wall Street I was so fascinated with it that I wished with all my heart and imagined what it would be like to work there. I remember saying ” I want to work here in the future.”.

Can you believe where my internship is going to be? That is right!!! It is on Wall Street, right in front of the charging bull!! I am so happy and blessed! Even though it was not the company I wanted at first, instead of that one detail the Universe looked out for all my main desires and that was the internship with the a full time offer prospective!

I would like to just say one thing. Believe, just know it is yours and be grateful for it! Convey thanks to the Universe and the people around you time and again! Remember that even if the deadlines have passed, world has turned around and it seems like it is not available anymore! Just focus on your happiness and goal. It will come to you because you deserve a happy and blessed life!
