Interning at The VRG has been one of the best life experiences I\u2019ve
\nhad thus far because I\u2019ve been able to learn more about one of my
\npassions. Coming into this internship, I thought myself knowledgeable
\nabout vegetarianism considering that I had spent countless hours
\nresearching about vegetarianism before finally becoming vegan some
\nmonths ago. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there\u2019s
\nalways been something new to learn in the VRG office.<\/p>\n
As a writer, I can ask for nothing more than for someone to give me
\nconstructive criticism about my pieces because I love submitting my best
\nwork. At The VRG, I\u2019ve been able to dabble in writing about a variety of
\ntopics, from creating vegan recipes to reviewing vegan products, and
\nI\u2019ve even been able to give some advice to teens along the way. What\u2019s
\neven better is that I\u2019ve been able to interact with non-vegetarians
\nat outreach booths in a professional environment, which means that I
\nhave been able to help people learn more about the ethical and health
\nreasons that explain why many vegetarians choose not to eat meat and
\nanimal products. Together, both of these experiences have made me more
\npassionate about being vegan, and after working with an organization
\nthat helps to spread awareness to so many people around the world about
\nanimal cruelty as well as healthy eating, I know that I will always try
\nto do the same in my life.<\/p>\n
I came into The VRG wanting to learn how to be firm in my beliefs
\nregarding veganism, and I\u2019m leaving having gained that skill. When
\nsomeone asks me why I choose to be vegan, I now know how to confidently
\nrespond. What\u2019s even better is that though I\u2019ve gained so much knowledge
\nhere, I know that there\u2019s still a lot out there that I need to learn. I
\ncan\u2019t wait to continue to learn about my passions because my work with
\nThe VRG has taught me that if you keep exploring and advocating for what
\nyou love, you\u2019ll finally find out your calling. I want to make a
\npositive change in the world, and I\u2019m so motivated to do that now.<\/p>\n
