What would life be like if I hadn’t gone on a mission? For context, I just finished my junior year in college. At this point in life though, I should be graduated. This summer, I had a dream internship lined up at a dream company, but it has since been canceled thanks to COVID. 

I often wonder what my life would be like if I hadn’t gone on a mission. It hits especially hard now because my career track is uncertain. 

I’m not in any way saying that I would be in ideal circumstances now career-wise had I not gone, but I feel like I wouldn’t feel as uncertain as I do now, as internships can really shape my career in my given industry. I hope that employers are very understanding of my situation, but I hate not being able to control my own destiny.
