From Regular College Student to Campaign Intern
By:Kyra Clark
I want to be impactful and memorable in life and no one can tell me I can’t be .
Why?
You might ask, because I want to be a voice for the voiceless.
I want to become an advocate for those who don’t have a way to express themselves
It all started when I took civics my sophomore year of high school, and I’ve been interested in civil rights and politics ever since.
Only when I took a leap of faith, did it help me gain my confidence and footing in the world of politics and I landed my first internship in campaigns
I got my most insightful and groundbreaking internship with the current mayor of High Point.
You might also be asking yourself how it feels to be a campaign intern?
It’s amazing, I am truly glad I took a leap of faith and achieved such a great milestone
I’m not kidding when I say getting this internship has been one of the greatest experiences of my life.
I have been with the campaign for seven months now and I truly have a greater understanding and acceptance for the world of politics.
I now understand the greater impact I want to have in the world of politics and be a voice of change.
I want to be a voice of change in an evolving world and throughout my time in my internship it has taught me that if you want to see change, you need to be the one to create it.

I have always dreamt of being someone people can look up to and working with these amazing men and women as a campaign intern has taught me that with hard work and dedication you can achieve your wildest dreams.
I guess my biggest takeaway here is don’t let anyone tell you who you’re allowed to be.
You are allowed to grow, change, and be the best version of yourself that you choose to be.
I am learning that I am changing everyday for the betterment of myself and it’s all thanks to this campaign that I am so grateful to be a part of,
every moment in life leads to a greater purpose and achievement and I’m just getting started achieving everything I want to accomplish.
In the end, this is just the start of my journey in politics and a future of achievements that will lead to something bigger than myself.
This is one of many experiences I will have in life.
I want to be seen as someone who never shied away from a challenge, I want to be known for leaving an impact in everything that I do and this campaign was the start of that journey.
Lastly, I want to be remembered by those around me as someone who was impactful, kind, and made the best out of everything.
