Good day everyone!
Before my internship commences, I have always think that 20 days of internship is very long. But upon reaching the end of this journey, I realize that it is actually quite short as time really flies!
Monday was my last day of work, but I will not be leaving the organization any time soon. The reason is that I am too heavily involved in the event, Golden Spokes Bike Ride, and I am also really excited about this event! The Golden Spokes Bike Ride will give me an insight of how event management really works as well as seeing all the things coming together after all the hard work done by my organization. Besides that, I felt that being assigned to contribute something to the event is a form of responsibility and I cannot just leave the job half way through, especially when the event will be held in approximately a month's time.
With the end of internship, it has been a very fruitful phase of my education and provided me with invaluable experience as well as insight of how a non-profit organization operate. Through this period, I realize that working in a non-profit organization may be tough as the financial position is weak and has limited man power. Non-profit organization rely heavily on volunteers to operate and sponsors as well as organizing events to raise funds. However, by understanding that when the organization will be able to help the people in need is a form of satisfaction. This internship program also allows me to meet different peoples from different way of life. This allows me to learn a lot about them as well as getting my 'face' to the public and network. As everyone here knows that networking is very important!
In addition, this internship also gives me a rough idea of what it would be like working in the real world and that public relations involves doing a variety of stuff from helping out with events to writing media releases to printing and photocopying. Last but not least, I would also like to thank my supervisors for guiding me through this period of internship and being so ever friendly and helpful.
That's about it from me and hope everyone had a good time like I did!
