I started my internship on Monday and it's been a ride. I'm hopeful that my experiences there will just continue to get better.

Today we had a good-bye party/ceremony for the Senior Regional Manager or something like that. It was cool to see people who are high up in the World Vision chain and hear what they had to say.

The man who left, Mike Mantel, spoke about a few things, but one of the things that stuck out to me was why and how World Vision exists. He explained that World Vision doesn't take the money of the rich and just give it to the poor, rather they build relationships between the rich and the poor. Jesus said that the poor will always be among us...that also means that the rich will always be among us. If people feel like they are part of a team, they will give, they will participate.

Other than work, life is pretty stretching. It'll be good eventually...
