"Purpose"

Well, today I got something that I've been wanting for awhile. My supervisor gave me a purpose to what I am doing. She told me all the background information for the Development Department...how it works, what processes they use, etc. Although working in the Development Department is not something that exactly interests me for a permanent position, it is important for me to understand how the fundraising works in an arts organization and how best to go about it. I am learning from some of the best. There are so many people that really do great things and I am looking forward to learning from them. I realize that I need to really get into this internship if I am going to take anything away from it for the future. Even though this isn't the most fun thing that I've ever done, someone told me that to get to the great stuff there's gotta be the not so great stuff along the way. So true! Hopefully there will be great things that lie ahead for me, but there's going to be some things along the way that I may not enjoy immensely. It will all be for good. I will still struggle some days with this experience, but I really need to focus on the positives of this experience and my summer in the Twin Cities. The purpose of this internship will help me to discover my pupose in life and how it is displayed throughout my life. Here goes! *Left ear tug!*
