Before 2016 Ends...

Before 2016 Ends... (Week 5)

We are only a few hours away from 2017, and this blog post, while it may cover a part of my fifth week in the internship, will most likely be dedicated to the things that has happened to me for the past 2016.

It has been a wild roller coaster ride indeed. There were many firsts that I have experienced, and those were a mixture of happiness and sadness. There may be those times that I would love to go back to and repeat, but then I would always realize that these events happened for a reason, and they were there to keep me stronger than ever. This internship being one of them.

Patience is a virtue. Going back from July 2016, Nestle has been the company of my choice, and that has been the company that I waited for response until early November 2016. I have cried, and become really depressed thinking that I might not make it, and I even thought that I won’t make it even though I passed the exam and was interviewed. Being the impatient girl that I am when it comes to many things, I learnt that being that way won’t do me any good. Just like how things are getting in my internship, I should be patient and learnt to take things slowly. I shouldn’t be in a rush, for there is a time on everything.

Courage is the most important of all the virtues. Have courage and be kind, as what the mother of Cinderella told her once before she died. I believe that being courageous is the best person that you could ever be, however, being courageous alone would not do you any good unless you’re kind enough to check on your actions from time to time. You should have the courage to speak for yourself, you should have the courage to become the person you wanted to be, you should have the courage to prove everyone that you are not a mere intern, but is someone who is capable of making it in the real world. Courage isn’t just about initiating to do things on your own, courage is about your trust in yourself, that no matter what others people say, or what may happen, you did it because you trusted yourself, and you did it because you know you can, not because someone just pushed you to do it.

My fifth week actually made me realize a lot of things. And as cliché new year, new me sounds, it seems that I should do it. For the better.

There you go! I know that this may seem to be so disorganized and a mess, but I thought that this blog post should be dedicated to my thoughts, knowing that it’s the end of 2016. On 2017, I hope to become the girl that I think would be the best for me.

Happy New Year, everyone!
