In my final week

It’s almost coming to the end, this is my final week but what can it remind me of? Definitely my first week at work because at that time I actually thought of quiting. It wasn’t because of any major reason, but just because I didn’t like waking up everyday early in the morning preparing for work. We were told to come to work at 10 am which meant I had to wake up around 7 and leave home at 8. it takes me almost 2 hours to arrive at work because I have to take three buses which is cheaper than taxis, but the waiting time for the bus is so long. After work in the evening I arrive at home around 9, which means I would do other domestic duties together with reviewing what I’ve done at work over the day. All in all it takes me up to around 1am, ending up not having enough time for sleeping hence making it quiet difficult for me to wake up in the morning. Should I had quit I wouldn’t be where I am today, but due to my commitment and determination I continued with my internship.

Over the past two weeks we began new projects for two clients. One of them is for the Malaysian Paralympic Committee and the other for a China based music company.
Malaysia will host the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) world general assembly in November. So, our company has been approach to do some public relations and to handle some media related duties for this client.
As for the China project, the company is doing a short documentary for the client which shows how music can bring people from different cultures together. The documentary also shows the importance and effectiveness of teamwork. My supervisors appointed me to the production management role, which would help improve my leadership skills. I helped in the pre-production and now in the production of the documentary which needs planning as well. All the progresses and tasks that we have been doing towards and through this production have helped me understand and get experience in planning.
I was also appointed to help assist prepare the budgeting. All in all, my appointment in the management and budgeting roles would help improve my confidence and self-belief, which will be helpful to me in the public relations industry.
