Lights out Alice!
Just a quick update on my summer internship at C in M. Yesterday was the last day. According to the HR, my presentation was 6th in rank, just quite not enough to make it to the top 5. Although I never thought I wanted to be in the Top 5, the competitive side of me was very disappointed in not getting through. Apparently I was passionate about the project and that pervaded in everything that I did, which shone through. Apparently I had practical ideas and the way I went about my project was good.
I keep using apparently because these are just words, words that might just be flattery, might just be false praise, might just be an skewed view of the situation. So I will never know if it is true or if it actually means anything. After all, it wasn't good enough to be in the top 5. Most of all, I don't want it to get to my head even though me writing about my praises and repeating them to my family already tells me that deep down inside I am craving these and lapping them up and it has actually already gotten to my head. Oh what a shitter I am!
I cannot sing enough praises of my mentor Rachita, not because she was my mentor, but because she was an absolutely amazing human being and team leader for the past two months. Safe to say that I learned more on the human aspects of working in a team and behaviour towards others than I learned about marketing. Regardless of how many back to back meetings she just came out of, she always had a smile on her face and was always ready to give her time and attention to anybody's problem, be it a lowly intern even. All this with a permanent smile on her face, a buzz in her step and a cheery disposition that most people won't get even after a good night's sleep.
Alice, I really hope I can become better at being a human, interacting with others and push myself to do better in everything I want to do and keep myself away from everything that is useless and a waste of time!
