"I was applying for internships at local hospitals when I received a phone call a few minutes after I had sent in an application to a hospital. I was receiving a call directly from the women who I wanted to work with and the first thing she said to me was "I see here on your resume that you are a Circle K member! That is so great! I am an officer in the Kiwanis club on the other side of town and we sponsor the club at Penn State Behrend! I think the Kiwanis family is great, and my favorite branch are the members of Circle K because they manage to be a full time student and volunteer! And I see here that you are an LTG for our division! It's great to see that you can handle a stressful leadership role and your studies! I would love to give you an internship with me because I know any member of the K-family will give quality work!" At this point of the conversation I had no idea what the internship would entail, and she didn't know anything other than what was on my resume, but she trusted her K-Family instinct and now I have a great summer internship! I did have the chance to meet her a week after our phone chat to be informed of the details and it is the perfect internship for what I was looking for! I am so blessed to be part of such a large K-family! Thank you!"
