Two things came to mind: Teen Vogue and New York City.\n\nI immediately sent my cover letter and resume to Mardi, the photo assistant. After obsessively checking my e-mail for the next few days for her response, sure enough I had an e-mail asking me to come in for an interview. With intricate planning around my hectic exam schedule I hopped on the next available bus to NYC. The trip there was quite frenzied. Between my ridiculously BIG portfolio case (which I managed to convince the bus driver not to charge me an extra $120 bus ticket for) and navigating my way to the Conde Nast building in the ever so big and crowded city, I eventually made it in one polished piece for the interview, which went great.\n\nFalling in love with photography at such a young age and pursuing it at the high school level through AP courses and then on to the university level has secured and put an end to that daunting little voice constantly asking: \"What do you want to be when you grow up?\" My summer internship at Teen Vogue in the photography department was nothing short of amazing. Most importantly it helped me to realize the path that I want to pursue upon graduating in 2009.\n\nWorking in the photography department consisted of a variety of tasks including: research, keeping things updated and making sure to lend a helping hand wherever needed. I was lucky enough to be able to assist a photographer on a photo shoot as well as a prop stylist, scout locations and be on set to watch Patrick Demarchelier put his golden touch on the production of a cover shoot. Interning at Teen Vogue took hard work and dedication. I thrived off every little detail and piece of information that I acquired while there. My summer at Teen Vogue helped to paint vibrant colors on my fresh white canvas of career path pursuits. All in all, I enjoyed every aspect that the job entailed. On top of that, my mentors were awesome, major props to the photo team!\n\nMy advice for aspiring Teen Vogue interns is to be bold and confident and start on the application process early! Work hard and always put yourself out there, you just might end up scoring the stellar internship that you've always dreamed of. If you really want it you'll get it, sometimes it just takes a little persistence!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
