This expanded my perspective and pushed me to learn more about current events in countries I typically do not hear about on American news outlets. This internship gave me the opportunity to interact with the international community just as strongly passionate about international relations as I am. Being put in such an environment propelled my passion in this field and was the push I needed to realize my goals are achievable. Additionally, I could ask the questions I have had for a long time regarding how people can secure a position at the UN, what pathways they usually take before joining the UN, etc.
