As an intern there have always been afew pointers all those that seemed to care about me gave me, that no matter how vain or agressive an employee may seem to be, always keep a proffessional hand on the matter and stay calm. As this is the second time i am repeating this module, it seems abit strange that, i still get caught by surprise everytime any of those left incharge of the employees seem alittle egoistic or controlling.
Lets start this from the very beginning, my name is Erick and i am a semester six student doing his internship for the second time around in Limkokwing University of Creative Technology (Fitofly section). Most people tend to think this is a bird course, by that i mean that one can just fly through it without much work, indulgence or stress... wrong! The internship program is meant to prepare future graduates for the 'real world'.
when the term the 'real world' was coined, i genuinely do not think they had bird course in mind, and once your interning, you realize it might actually be worse than the real world. all the responsibilities forced on to individuals as well as the lack of respect and undermining of the interns, which is generally normal due to the newbie status although it still leaves one wondering, if i was thrust upon this world with no experience and no hand on what is expected of me after i graduated, how many times would i fail before accepting real life responsibilities.
so my first blog is an introduction and also a tribute to the real world, interning like a slave and growing up with sufficient warning.

i do agree that sometime when u are a newbie you are treated wrongly and have to face many challenges.
But in every circumstance you should take the positive out of it.
Like i already said in my last post the fact that u rise up from your ashes like a Phoenix, is the proof that you have grown. And like my PR lecturer often ask us, just have a look of where you were in the beginning and where you are now and you will realise how much you acquire.
Good luck in your studies.
