My final day (cue tears)

Hi everyone,

Well the time has come...the 20 days are over....my last blog post!

I cant believe my incredible Internship at Beaufort Street Network has come to an end. From when I first asked my supervisor Pam for the internship opportunity I was just looking for basic PR experience and what an experience this has been. I have learnt more than any lecturer could explain in a semester, this was invaluable hands on experience!

I honestly can’t believe how remarkable everyone from the BSN committee is, they have given me a new meaning to the word community. I have seen the amount of effort that is involved in not-for-profit organisations; a lot of determination and hard work. Its incredible that BSN committee members all do this for their 'side' job even though their own jobs are busy and stressful they always fine time to put in 100% to BSN and have achieved so much during my time such as revamping art murals, shop local campaign and the creating the prettiest cook books to be sold at the festival.

Before I started I hadn't really realised the effect a community could have if they all work together not only does it create a better place to live, work and socialise. I may be biased BUT Mount Lawley is the place to be/be seen/be at... all thanks to everything BSN has contributed there is always something creative along the strip.

I hope everyone else has enjoyed their internships and semester. I cant believe this is my final semester in ready for the big "real world" this internship has given me unbelievable experience and has pushed me mentally to heights I never thought were possible which was a great confidence booster. My last friday was sad to think its the end of a good chapter but my lovely supervisor gave me $150 voucher and we all drank fancy champaign by reflecting on my time so if there was any way to leave this was the way...

Over and out for the last time,
