First Impressions

Journal Prompt

How was your first day? What stood out to you?

My Thoughts

The first day of Summer Internship was not what I expected. Compared to Summer Internship 2021, everything was from the left field. Prior to the start of internship, some of the interns were asking, “Are you ready?” I answered, “You can never be ready!” I only knew the core elements that Summer Internship implements: service projects, worship, intense Bible study, and physical activity. But what changed was our perspective and context of the people abroad. For example, we were playing soccer against a team that without a doubt we were going to lose You can say it was unfair to play them from the start. It wasn’t about winning or losing, simply understanding the concepts of advantages and disadvantages.
