The Next Step

As many probably know, I am graduating this year (2012). As promised, I will share my experience i went through my internship. It's funny because, when I got accepted as an intern at the company I applied for, I was very excited, and couldn't wait to start. But as the day got closer to D-Day, the more I got less excited and wished I was already done. I shared this with a couple of friends. So they thought that maybe it was because I am not interested in this kind of field. But that was not the case. In fact, it's probably because I got so used to having so much free time, that I wanted to continue having this type of life.

My first couple days went smoother than I expected. The workers were very kind. Though there were a few things that I did not really like during the internship. Making phone calls. For some reason, I would get nervous or something. It was not the easiest thing for me. However! There was this one phone call I had to make which I sort of enjoyed. I had to call Transat Holidays to get information on a trip to Disney. So why did I enjoy this phone call? It is not because of "Disney", but because the girl on the other line had a beautiful voice! =P

I did get unlucky a few times as I had to make my way to the workplace. Twice during my internship was I late. So much for giving a good impression. But it was not my fault. The reason is because of incidents that took place in the Metro (Subway). The first incident was due to a smoke bomb. When I got to work, the manager said I could of just stayed home rather than go through all the hassle. The second incident was because of some accident. I think some people went on the rails. But I do not know the details.

Of course, there was definitely some positive stuff during this internship. I learned a lot and realized a bit better on what I want to do. In the beginning, I was not very sure if I wanted to work at a Travel Agency but now I know it isn't that bad especially if i get to work with the same type of people I had during the stage. They knew how to joke around and bring in humor, as opposed to what I heard from my other classmates in which they said some workers would stress quite a bit. They also gave me the opportunity to do many of my own personal research which was pretty awesome. I got to learn quite a few things in which I was personally interested in.

This was simply a brief description on how this internship turned out. There were ups and downs but I am glad I was finally able to get through it. Ultimately, what matters is that another chapter of my life has finally been completed. Though my goal is still somewhat unclear and I am  not quite sure where to head right now, what I do know is that God will lead me there, and this is but another obstacle I have yet to climb over.
