Brittney1.jpgBecoming involved with Get Smart was a random occurrence for me. I had never interned anywhere and this organization is based hundreds of miles away from where I live. I hoped I would be accepted, but I didn’t think too much of it. That is until I got the email that I had been officially added to the Get Smart intern list for the summer of 2014. I was absolutely thrilled to be part of a great organization and to learn something new. But what I learned throughout the summer is far more than I anticipated when submitting my application.

What I Learned

Diverse Hands Holding The Word WomenFirst and foremost, I have learned that there are other women who think and believe the same way I do about how women should empower each other and themselves–no matter their walk of life or their past situations. I have also learned how welcoming and inspiring joining a new group can be. I’ll admit, when I first started working with Get Smart, I was nervous that I may be the odd ball since I wasn’t from around the same area as everyone else. It turns out I was completely wrong. The women of Get Smart were so welcoming and loving, it became overwhelming at times. I had never had a group of females be so warm and kind to me without even knowing me. The way these women have opened themselves up to me has been truly inspiring. A final thing I learned is to be open to the possibilities of life. Some of these women are travelers while others prefer to stay closer to home but do incredible things while being there. They have inspired me to not limit myself in life, but to take the opportunities that come along without fear of what may happen or fear of being alone.

Top Three Reasons to Join Get Smart Mentoring

  1. The organization itself sends a fantastic message to women all over the world of any age and at any stage of life. Get Smart is accepting of all and wants every woman in the world to be empowered, inspired and confident in herself. This is something that every female on the planet needs to hear and believe for herself.
  2. You will grow so much within yourself as well as with other women. Being involved with Get Smart has allowed me to learn about myself and dig more deeply into what I believe, who I want to be and how I can get there.
  3. The community of Get Smart is reason enough in itself. The women you meet when joining this organization are so welcoming and inspiring to one another. I have never felt so welcomed as I did when I joined Get Smart. They talk with you and about the issues we all face as women; you always feel supported and never judged or alone. They are genuinely true and kind people who want to build relationships that can change the world we live in.
