\u201cThe only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven\u2019t found it yet, keep looking. Don\u2019t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you\u2019ll know when you find it,\u201d Steve Jobs.<\/p>\n
As with most new jobs, I didn\u2019t really know what to expect coming into this internship. Sure, I read the job description, asked questions during the interview and I knew what the Center for Faith and Vocation was and what it does but the only sure thing was that I was the communications intern hired to help promote center events on social media and around campus, send out a weekly newsletter and host a monthly event called Big Questions. I figured it to be another communications internship that would give me experience in this huge field I am to enter into. Little did I know what I was about to learn about myself personally and professionally. Here\u2019s what I learned that I love.<\/p>\n
Ok, admittedly I knew I enjoyed this going in and it was a significant appeal of this internship, but I didn\u2019t realize how much I love it. From the very beginning conception of the event to watching it happen.<\/p>\n
If I\u2019m not doing something I enjoy then it is much more difficult for me to do it. Spurring off that, the work has to have meaning to it and meaning can come in many forms. Fortunately with this internship, the work had a lot of meaning. This is something that I just have to keep in mind going forward.<\/p>\n
Small teams are wonderful. It means you\u2019re working on multiple projects at once, contributing in a variety of ways not just stuck to one task and you are more likely to see the end product.<\/p>\n
Something students can forget as they go through the process of checking off the boxes to get a degree is finding what they truly want to do. This experience has allowed me to reflect on what I want to do and I am grateful for that as I enter my senior year at Butler.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
