My second week stated off on a great note.
On Monday morning the boss for the organisation I intern for hand delivered me
a beautiful bouquet of flowers with a thank you note. This was for helping out with an
after hours networking event the organisations alumni held at work last Friday night. I jumped in to help with serving and greeting the
members when they arrived without being asked. I was over the moon with the flowers, they made me
feel very important and appreciated by my internship organisation.
The week continued to get better when I had the opportunity to attend a photo shoot and launch event for a great cause.
One of our major clients is the biggest sponsor for this cause which helps
homeless people. Being asked to tag along was an amazing experience as I had
the opportunity to meet some great people who live on the streets, journalists,
volunteers and photographers.
The day was a great success for the cause
however despite all our efforts with organizing the journalist for the day, our client who is the major sponsor didn’t end up getting a mention in the article. It was a let down
feeling when you spend so much time and effort organizing the journalist to not
be mentioned in the article. This became a quick lesson in realizing journalist
publish what they want to publish, no matter how much effort you put in to
get your clients efforts publicized.
It was still a great experience and with
everyday, a new and exciting challenge happening I cant wait to see what the
next week brings.
