Views: 1764 Accepted for an Internship!

Report
Okay, so a couple weeks back, I applied for an internship for graphic design at a local software company. I already have a friend working there to give me a positive word to the admissions dude, but to be completely honest, I didn't really have high hopes of being accepted even with all of his help.
Well.
GUESS WHO GOT ACCEPTED FOR THE INTERNSHIP.
MEEEE~ <3
Just for kicks I had put that I won the guide contest for MOBAFire and included a sample of the coding for it. In addition, I put some of the artwork from my graphic café to show that I had at least a minimal sense of style. Of course, I had all of the other requirements (letters of recommendation, full resume, list of references, etc.) and I've had quite a bit of experience in Javascript, C++, and HTML coding.
Turns out the admissions dude was a huge fan of LoL, and at the interview the guy told me that what really sold me was that I was so enthusiastic about my work, especially on MOBAFire.
So what I guess I'm trying to say is: Thank you, to everyone who ever commented on my guides or requested artwork from my shop :) There's no way in heck that I would have gotten this internship without all of the help and support from you guys ^_^ I know summer internships aren't like, extremely huge and awe-worthy, but to a simple 15 year old girl who likes playing LoL as a past time, it's a really big milestone in my life.

Also, some words of wisdom: "Art is like masturbation. It is selfish and introverted and done for you and you alone. Design is like sex. There is someone else involved, their needs are just as important as your own, and if everything goes right, both parties are happy in the end." (While crude, the crudeness helps get the message across.)

@NorthernRedStar, I know right. I could barely believe it myself~
