“The admissions department took into consideration your interest in criminal law. Based on this interest, we would also like to offer you an internship at Preston Associates, a firm that has been working with NYU for over a decade.”
I couldn’t believe this. They offered me my dream job, plus an opportunity to get my degree at the same time.
“Shelby, that’s exactly what you wanted. You’re accepting it, right?”
My fingers were squeezing my phone so tightly that it almost flew out of my hand.
“They need to know right away because the position gets filled up quickly. The email doesn’t specify a date, but I guess right away means as soon as possible.”
There wasn’t much to think about, really. Harvard didn’t feel like the place where I was meant to be, and NYU was exactly the opposite. They’d added the dessert to what already was the main course of my plans.
