I like to get a head start on things, so I began searching for an internship in January. I updated my resume and portfolio and applied to numerous internships and programs. I received some interview requests and follow-up emails, but often, I didn’t hear back. Despite this, I stayed motivated and continued applying.
A breakthrough came when my friend informed me that 100 Roses From Concrete had opened applications. She encouraged me to meet them at City Tech, where they presented their program. There, I met the founder, Keni, and had the opportunity to ask him relevant questions. She had a positive experience with them, so I decided to apply. I answered all the application questions honestly and submitted my application.
Eventually, I was contacted by the founder for a formal Zoom interview. I was nervous even though I had gone through a few interviews already, but his approachable demeanor made me feel more comfortable. A few weeks later, I received the fantastic news that I had been accepted into the program! I was thrilled and couldn’t wait to start.
