Prior to submitting my application as a White House intern I asked myself, “Can a broadcast journalist student really be welcomed by the Executive Office of the President?” I found that the answer was an overwhelming yes.
So many university students have the incorrect perception that the White House Internship Program is only for political science majors or students with political ambitions. The White House Intern Program is, in many ways, just like a college campus – made up of students from diverse backgrounds and scholastic interests. In fact, as a White House Intern, I learned that there was no better place for a student studying Communications than the White House.
I will not deny I found the application process challenging, but I also found it to be thrilling. It was by far the most daunting job interview I had ever experienced. But, after the application process was complete, I knew I wanted to be a part of something so special. My jubilation in being accepted into the program was not merely because I had been selected, but also because I knew that I would work with a dedicated White House team that shared the President's desire to encourage the public to share their insights and views with the Administration.
