My internship experience

I’ve been blessed in so many ways and lately its been showing how much I have been. There is so much that has happened to me in this past year and it started all with the Asiance interview that Jaymie offered me in July 2011. I was so excited to start my fall semester at Seminole State College because I couldn’t wait to tell my friends that I was being interviewed by an Asian American magazine that talked about women’s successes.

Then I remember the next step I took was getting an internship at Asiance and because I wanted it to get an internship here with Asiance, I got it. I originally thought of it as an opportunity to get ahead of my peers, but it slowly became more that when I started interviewing Jin, Geologic and many other people that I have to this date. They all had a story behind them in where they were going and why they are to this day. The internship became a humbling experience to know the real person without any filter. I always saw these people at face value, but it was different when I interviewed them. They were actually real people behind this facade that the media has created.

My experience doesn’t stop there and I don’t know where this experience will lead me too. But right now I’m just glad to know that this internship has given me a lot more than I would have ever expect. It made me realize that you can’t get anything without hard work and that dreams can come true if you really want it too. You just gotta believe in yourself and work at it every single day. Because of this internship, I am talking to people who I never thought I would and I’m working on projects by myself that I never thought I would. I gained the confidence to talk to Uploaded: The Asian American Movement and the right opportunity came for me to take it. And in the mist of all the great luck I’ve had with my internship, I got accepted into University of Central Florida. I would have never thought that such great luck with an internship that I would also be blessed with getting my Associates and on my way of getting my Bachelor’s. I hope that I do get a position here at Asiance and can’t wait what my future holds for me.
