But the professor of that class was so passionate, and I fell in love with the discipline. Then, CIA held a crisis simulation competition that my university attended, and as soon as I started taking part, I knew: this was all I wanted to do now; this was going to be my life. I began interning after my sophomore year, worked here for four summers, became a Truman Scholar, studied international security, and came here full time after my graduate degree. I’m still in awe that I get paid to do something I’d basically pay someone to let me do—reading, writing, and briefing about foreign affairs. And above all, I’m honored to be able to use those skills to help protect our country and the people we love. There are few other places that can beat the Agency’s mission in terms of the impact you can have. I’ve always needed to find deeper meaning in my work, and being able to apply my skills to help meet the mission had me instantly hooked. As soon as I was in the door, I was amazed at the opportunities I had at such an entry-level part of my career. This is a very unique aspect of CIA, something that sets us apart from other government agencies and the private sector: the Agency places so much trust in you based on your skills and not on tenure. I did things early in my career, like briefing senior policymakers across the federal government, without management present, that made me think—this doesn’t happen everywhere.” . . #HumansofCIA」12月4日 23時59分
