It wasn't. Not at all. Think about it as talking to your friends. But in a formal and professional manners (depending on the type of function). The crowd were super cool. Most of them are government officials and students from juvenile probation school. What I would like to tell here was the students. When we asked them in one of our exercises who their favourite person are, most of them answered their father or their mother. There's also the moment when one of them gets "punished" and has to dance in front of everyone and all of them decided to do it together to support their friend. I tried so hard to hold back my tears. On that day, I knew that engagement like this is what I want to do in my life. To provide opportunities to those who wants it regardless of their past mistake. We're all human after all. We pay our due and carry on and strive to be better. I am grateful to my supervisor who has given me this opportunity.
On my last day of internship, it's sort of a requirement for the interns to present their reflection of internship to the Pustaka Miri's officer. I've presented the experience of working there, my expectations and also the in-house project that I did for Pustaka Miri which is Pustaka Miri social media presence and awareness together with suggestions that the organization could implement in the future.
Although my period of internship here was brief, but I could honestly say that I've learned a lot and grown mature. I have a glimpse of what a Public Relation officer duty is. For those who are about to do their internship and need some tips. Just one foot in front of the other. You will feel anxious, fear of failing, fear of not capable enough but you just have to do it and trust me, that's the only way to learn. Follow orders and give 100% no matter how petty the task may seem to you. Without the small components, a machine could not function properly. Leave your mark and make them say "He/she was the best intern we had". Or at least try.

Wow, that was very inspiring Aizat! You have done a very good job there. To be able standing up in front of the crowd and being MC for the first time, you are definitely brave enough. I wish I could be brave as you are. Small actions sometimes can lead to big impact. In the end, it was the lesson that we learned is the most important thing right? Keep it up and spread your wings. I do believe you can do much better in future. :)
Hey Aizat,
This is brilliant and you should really be proud of yourself! I remember how nervous I was at the beginning of my internship when I had to take pictures and interview government officials and guests for media releases, but in the spirit of trying to be 'the best intern' possible as you phrased it, I powered through and pushed myself more every single day and your post has just inspired me to push even harder.
Surely with such a positive mind set we will only soar higher and higher.
All the best in your future endeavours.
Cheers,
