Hi Everyone!
I'm equally nervous about getting the White House internship,but hopefully Obama will be in office for the next 7 years<<meaning I have 7 more times to try!
I notice other people were writing about themselves,so I figured I'd say a little about me:
I applied for the Office of Public Liasion,Office of First Lady,and Office of Management.I'm only a freshman but I've had some work experience. I'm a former executive intern for one of Obama's cabinet members and I also served under a youth board with him when I was in high school.I have a letter of rec from him as well,but I'm not sure how much that'll really help. I've also interned at a non-profit...the same summer that I interned for President Obama as an intern at his Senate office(hmm,former Senate office).I've worked with one of the largest school systems in the country;planned large scale events(the largest had 30,000 students)I have had other random activities that are loosely centered around politics and education reform, and I mentioned that in my essays.I also included an additional essay on my 2nd choice office mainly because I really would like to work in either one of them.But like I said,I still have 7 years to make it to the WH as an intern..so if I have to wait,thats totally fine.
I guess.
