Noelle's Note: From January to August each year, Cornerstone Veritas carefully selects 4-6 students to participate in our internship program. These students have finished high school from one of the Cornerstone Development schools, and have a 9 month break between high school and college. We help them to make the most of that time, providing them with skills, travel experiences, and mentorship. The following posts will help you to get to know these wonderful new members of our family!

"I enjoy being part of Cornerstone Veritas,
and look forward
to continuing to work with them in the future."

My name is Kirabo Jovia. I am 20 years old and I come from
central Uganda in Nakasongola district. I was born on December 2nd,
1992. I am a high school vaccist from Ekitangaala Transformation High school. I
hope to do business administration as my course at university. Business
Administration fits with what I studied in high school. I want to do this
course because it is the course that can help me become an accountant. I would
like to be an accountant in the future because I think I am trustworthy and I
can manage people’s money well.
During my internship with Cornerstone Veritas, I would like
to improve on my inter-personal communication skills and also learn more about
leadership. I also look forward to learning how to teach more effectively, so
that I can influence audiences in the future.
While at Ekitangaala Transformation High School (Cornerstone School) I
enjoyed my leadership and character development classes. They helped to mold me into a woman of
virtue. Finally it has helped me know how to put first things first and the
importance of beginning with the end in mind. I hope to be able to continue to learn about
and put into practice what I learned in high school during my internship and
beyond.
