DAY 1...Story of How It All Happened

So i've been in NY/Jersey less than 24 hours....i'm already lovin it. I'm staying somewhere in Matawan..by the Jersey shore until i can find a place in NY. I guess I should kinda recap though....

A lot of people are asking me how I got this internship?

I remember the exact date...It was Thursday March 26th....the night before I was helping one of my line brothers(Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc.) sisters with her fashion show over the phone. I was just giving her some advice on some things she should do. I told her I was in NY with this networking group..and that I was going to visit some companies like MTV and Def Jam tomorrow. She was like "Forreal, my friend works there." So she makes a couple phone calls,sends an email,text message,etc. The next morning..Ms. Keely Hill, the lady i'm interning with, gives her a call,and pretty much says Give Him my number, and have him call me. 

So..i'm about to leave MTV when I get this call....I was like HELLA geeked. You know how people be like,oh...I got this Uncle who works for NASA...let me call him, and I can get you a job..lol.  Not to say that it was like that...but it was like.."MY DREAM WAS SET-UP THROUGH A SIMPLE PHONE CALL..."  So, I give her a call, and i'm like "Hey, How are you...i'm Mike Mosley....." Ms. Hill, just pretty much told me to come in...said she heard some good things about me, and to give her a call when I got to Def Jam and she would come down.

So...about 30minutes later...i'm still HELLA geeked..lol. I get to DefJam, and before I can even call her....she comes downstairs...and i'll never forget this...(they had provided Subway sandwiches,chips..soda,etc for us. )So i'm just sitting down with my plate...and a lady comes in a calls out,"Michael Mosley.." so..i'm lookin around and I see Ms. Keely Hill.(Remember that name..) She comes over to me...(people are at this point trying to act like they're eating there food..but they're clearly being nosey, and trying to hear what's going on.) So yeah...she talks to me for about 5minutes, says she's heard some good things about me, and that she thinks i'll make a great intern..and there you go..I had the internship working in the urban radio promotion dept. as well as some work in the marketing dept. I then..handed her my resume and business card.lol.

This was truly a blessing. I came  to NY with the mindset that I was gonna leave with an internship at bare minimum..I didn't know how...but it was gonna happen, and less  than 24 hours later, it did. God is good...and being humble has taken me a long ways..
