Today was probably the most intense day of my internship experience so far. I feel a mix of relief and satisfaction about everything that happened. I know there were lots of people praying for me, and I could tell. So thank you!
My boss had made me practice my presentation several times yesterday, so I felt somewhat confident. But it's different presenting to my perpetually cheerful boss and in front of stern-faced executives. I wore the only suit and button-up shirt I own, which all felt extremely hot and heavy in the small room. I also had on a pair of new high-heels, which made my knees feel like they couldn't stop shaking (or maybe I was just nervous!)
Anyway, then I commenced to go through my presentation. I'm not the most articulate person, but I think I am somehow disarming with my charm or something, because people seem to be transfixed. Maybe they're just bored or curious about my Kansas accent. All the other presenters got grilled with extremely difficult questions, but with me they were almost ridiculously nice and easy-going.
I can only thank God for how things have turned out this summer! I really wasn't looking forward to moving out here, but now I wish I could stay a lot longer. I've learned such a tremendous amount, especially in analytical and interpersonal skills that I wouldn't trade for anything. I still have another week and a half, but it's certainly winding down. I'll keep you posted on any other developments. Thank you again for your prayers and encouragement!
