So I went to the CIA booth at my campus career fair to see what options were available, and I was surprised by all the different opportunities there at the CIA.
I found my niche in the National Clandestine Service, but the CIA needs talented and dedicated people from all professions. Everything I was interested converged into one amazing intern opportunity.
I felt I found a place in the professional world that was just the right fit for me. Whether it was starting a class recycling program in fourth grade or tutoring inner city kids in math all through college. And after meeting CIA recruiters on campus last year, I made the decision to follow my passion into a career.
I applied to the undergraduate scholarship program, and I knew going into it that the vetting process would be lengthy. I was interviewed several times by different people and answered many questions regarding my personal and professional conduct. I took a polygraph test. I had a complete medical evaluation. I remember thinking, wow, this is serious, and then I realized how serious CIA was about me.
That inspired me to stick with it. I answered everything honestly, openly, and thoroughly. The big payoff was receiving my acceptance letter. Knowing that our government chose me to participate in the work that protects our nation continues to empower me every day.
How will I get there? That was my first thought after I was accepted into the program. Then where will I live, and who will I talk to. CIA assists with transportation costs and provides access to lots of local information and resources.
CIA provided housing options from corporate housing partners to university programs. They have a variety of resources to help you find housing accommodations close to your work location.
You can even rent a room from a CIA employee. I stayed with four other CIA students in an apartment that was close to work and public transportation.
On my days off, I took advantage of the nearby public transit and toured the city sites. I have plenty of people to talk to in and outside CIA. I formed close bonds with a group of fellow CIA interns and grad students, and through the Northern Virginia Cooperative Education Association, we participate in a lot of activities and social events.
So we are never bored. Our leaders and mentors are amazing, and even though we come from so many different backgrounds and fields of study, we all share common values.
That question was always on my mind during the weeks and days before my internship started. I kept thinking about IQ tests and some cheesy Hollywood spy movies.
