Another milestone of our polytechnic life, Internship. It's both a daunting and exciting news at the same time for most people. My main concerns are that I am afraid of my inabilities to complete tasks given to me, if I am capable enough to be able to get and upgrade my skills and knowledge or will I stay at the same competency level? Last concern would be, you would not know what to expect on the things, problems or challenges that you might faced and will you at that point of time have an appropriate solution for it.
These are the daunting aspects of internship, BUT the exciting part of it are you get to experience new things in life that you would never get to have a chance to during your school time. You will have many kinds of unique encounters and able to learn something new. We get to broaden our knowledge and widened our viewpoint of certain things. In my case, I am curious how a park is actually run on a daily basis, what's the behind-the-scene like and what kind of stuffs we will be doing at a park. Being able to be involved in the events part is one of the things I am looking forward to, as events are usually high spirited and chaotic. If you're involved in a preparation, especially a long one just for a few days for a particular event, I believed there will be a great sense of achievement and satisfaction as you spent time overnight, had numerous meetings, plannings as a whole in hope to have a successful event. I usually played a minor role in an event as just one of the helpers, and I heard that this intern might have the chance to let us manage the event which means you got to be able to have those qualities where you can assign tasks to people and make sure the event runs smoothly. I would want to learn how or be able to experience that (with assistance of course) too as it would definitely be totally different from the tasks as a helper of the event.
There are so many types of application forms that we have to fill up before reporting on the first day of internship to our designated company. It's starting next week on the 14 March 2016, OH GOSHH!! Bless my soul~ Hopefully I will survive in one piece, gain some useful skills and get to know good people.
Today we attended a briefing regarding our internship before it start on what we should take note of. I am glad that we still have a 'mountain' to lean on which is our school and lecturers if we faced any problems or needed any help. WHICH MEANS, I don't have to be totally independent, do you know how scary that word is, it means you have to be all alone to solve your own issues and there's no one to help you solve your problem you have to do it yourself. At least to me, it meant that way so its always good to have some place you can turn to.
ANDAND YOU KNOW WHAT, we have to do these three reports during our internship. Its called Interim 1, Interim 2 and Final Report. Just by looking at the details you have to include in it = confusion, "what is this suppose to mean", "what am I suppose to write and how for this part" etc. Ahhh... see see so many things we have to go through in order to be sharpened into a better person.
May I survive happily through this journey, signing off once again!~
