I came to Australia in February 2016 from the Philippines. In the beginning, I was actually disappointed for not being placed in the same company as my friends did. I was afraid I would not enjoy would be alone. I talked to my Internship Program Supervisor Caroline which help me to overcome and tell me to stay in the company for a while. Which is actually the best decision that I’ve made so far.

After 5 months of working, I started to feel being happy and able to work and see how amazing the people around me. I was having so much fun and I travel around Australia with my friends how good is that. This program gives me almost everything, a workplace that allows me to grow professionally, a place that helps me to become a better person and third is to meet new friends that I will never forget in my entire life. I become a new person in just a year. I’m so proud of myself having to conquer my fear. I’m so sad that my program is about to finish. However, It means a new adventure.

To future interns don’t hold yourself, don’t be afraid to change for good. Life is a journey so don’t stop. Always remember you are not working when you are enjoying. Best of luck.

P.S I will be back to Australia soon to study. I might see you around. Thank you for everything Australian Internships!!
