I glance quickly at my watch as I jogged through the main entrance to my guidance counselor's office.
"3:21. Dang, I can't be late again" I said to myself as I rushed past the students lounging around the lobby. It's been a rough couple of months trying to find an internship for my final year as a college student but I think I finally landed a gig. As I approached the elevator, I impatiently pressed the "up" button a few times with the hopes that the doors would open immediately. As I waited for the elevator to arrive, I checked my blurry reflection in the chrome elevator doors. I smoothed my flyaways down into my sleek ponytail and quickly finger combed the ends.
I was nervous. Today, I was finding out if my application as an assistant tour stylist was accepted. My dream job was to style people for a living and being able to tell people that I styled celebrities would be even better. Just as I got lost in my thoughts, the elevator arrived. I walked in and pressed the button for the 2nd floor. The closer I got to my guidance counselor's office, the more nervous I became. I wanted this opportunity.
No, I NEEDED it.
The elevator doors opened as I slowly inched my way to the office. As I got closer to Ms. Darren's door I said a quick prayer,
"Lord...if you can hear me, please let me get this job. I know, I shouldn't be trying to strike deals with you but if you can help me with this job, I promise I'll stay focused. No dating, no fooling around, just work. Please? Thanks..uhh, Amen."
And with that, I walked into the meeting with high hopes.
Who knew my life would change drastically in the matter of a few short minutes...
