I was born and brought up in Texas and I am a graduate of the University of Texas. However, around my second year in law school, I wanted to make a great change, which was almost unheard of for Texans: I wanted to leave! I realized this after pleting my first year173。year internship(實習期) I knew I wanted something different and my chance came during the 2011 Super Bowl in Dallas. A snowstorm blanketed the entire city in snow and thousands of people were gathered. I overheard that StubHub, a big pany from a great city, San Francisco, was throwing a party next door to my hotel. I thought if l could get an internship, I could leave for the summer and at least see what it was like. Yes, it was a huge leap. I told myself I was ready. There was just one problem: I wasn39。t invited to the StubHub party. But you know I39。m the type of person who goes for something she wants. Needless to say, I crashed the party and found my way to the president. I kindly introduced myself and then asked if they had a legal internship program. Guess what? They accepted my request to be a legal intern, even though no such program existed. Although the legal department didn39。t have a permanent position for me, the experience has shaped my life. Working for a great pany in San Francisco, I39。m incredibly happy for making my decision to leave Texas. By leaving Texas, I learned that it is so much more rewarding to try the unfamiliar than to stay in the fortable. Exploring the unfamiliar is how you39。ll understand what fits your life. I say, dive in head first.（1）The author went to Dallas to in 2011.
