Well
this is my last blog as a summer intern, and I think I might cry! It has been
an unbelievable experience that I am so thankful to have been a part of. I
finished off the summer strong with Showdown in Virden, and it was amazing. I
thank all the participants and am very excited about Showdown next year. As my
internship comes to a close I wanted to share a few things I learned over this
summer.
- There
is no such thing as a bad question. Everyone has questions so be open to them,
and answer them honestly, because they may not know the answer.
- A
Yaris is one of the best cars to have for internship! Over the summer I
travelled over 6,000 km with my little blue rocket, and it sure showed me that
bigger isn’t always better! My little car got me to all the places I needed to
go, and with pretty good gas mileage too.
- Living
out of a suitcase is not that bad. The month of July I was home for 3 days the
whole month, which meant a lot of living out of a suitcase. It is not as bad as
some say it is, but I was definitely happy to sleep in my own bed again.
- Never
underestimate a home cooked meal. You do not realize how good a home cooked
meal is until you’ve eaten nothing but take-out for a whole month!
AND LASTLY... - Do not be afraid to put yourself out there. I was afraid to apply for the internship but figured, the worst thing they could say is no. And looking back I am so happy I did. This has been one of the best summers of my life.
It
has been an amazing summer, and I would encourage all youth who fit the
criteria to apply. It is an amazing opportunity that you will never forget. I
had a great time and thank you to all the wonderful people I met, and to all
the people who helped make this summer the best summer of my life!
I
hope all is well with everyone, and best of luck to everyone in upcoming shows,
and with whatever life may throw at you, from what I have learned this summer
Angus people truly are the best people.
