Dear Ohio,

As many of you know, I am now on my third year of college, where I am
working on degrees in Environmental Science and Geology. You also may know
that the summer between a student’s junior and senior year is one that is
best filled with experiences that can lead to the start of one’s career.

After my internship experience last summer  in San Diego, working for an
aerospace company, I was eager to find something that was just as, or even
more exciting for me. I had spent the past few months filling out countless
applications and doing many interviews that lead to defeating rejection.

But, after many rounds of nerve wrecking interviews, I am now beyond
excited to share with all of you that I was very recently offered and have
accepted a 3 month summer internship at Tesla, in Fremont, California. I
will be working as an Environmental Engineering Intern under the air
quality program within the Environment, Health, Safety, and Security
department.

This is a dream opportunity that I am extremely grateful for. I am grateful
for Tesla for taking a chance on me. But I am even more grateful for the
people and experiences that have given me the tools to achieve. Upon
reflecting these past few days, it is evident that our organization, the
National Federation of the Blind , has had a major impact on my ability to
persist and strive for what I want in life. I can for certain say that the
NFB has given me the confidence to seek opportunities, and to know that
blind people can live successful, meaningful lives. This philosophy is one
that has changed my life, and my passion for these values is what fuels my
involvement in this organization.

It is amazing that we now live in a time where the leading electric vehicle
company in the world is willing to hire a diverse team, including blind
individuals. It is no secret that part of this is a result of the work for
the NFB, but there is still much more work to do. I am confident and
hopeful that world-leading companies like Tesla continue to give our
community the chances to prove what we are capable of.

We can Live the Life we Want

Sincerely,
Kinshuk
