I got the job!

Daniel Böckli Winterthur,—Switzerland

I'm in the ninth grade. At the end of the eighth grade, I wanted to look for an internship in finance or commerce. So I had to go to Zurich or Winterthur. Since I knew that God has a place for everybody. I started thinking about what I really like to do. I also went to a job advisor. But I relied on God. That's the most important thing.

The possibilities were to work either in a bank or at an insurance company. At first, I applied to just banks. Then I wrote to insurance companies. Of course, I prayed, too, and read the Bible. Sometimes I studied Psalms 91 and 23.

When it came time for an interview, I thought about what they might ask. And I prayed to be calm, to think about what I'd say. I prayed about this with great confidence. I'm sure that's why I got the job.
