“Working at this internship has been a welcome change amidst all the stress of the last semester of university.”
Tamoghna, Honours Bachelor of Social Sciences in Anthropology and Sociology, Forum of Federations, Myanmar, and Nepal Project Support
My idea was that even though I’m only taking three courses, it might be difficult to balance, however, I have found myself immersed in work: eager to be of aid to my coworkers and looking forward to meeting them every week. The internship has proved to be of great help in being an easy transition to work as my colleagues are extremely supportive and involved, despite of the time difference. Working with The Forum of Federations has been rewarding as it acts as a constant reminder, that with the right encouragement, I can unlock my fuller potential. I feel so productive and motivated to perform well in school.
This internship is the perfect challenge for my educational as well as professional career at this particular point in time. Before graduation, I wanted to gain some work experience and The Forum has given me just that. I like to think of this opportunity as a necessary means for my professional life. I have discovered so much more about myself in terms of the kind of work I want to do in the future and my short-term goals. I appreciate this opportunity as my first ever proper job as it has taught me the value of taking time off for myself, learning to strike a balance between work and personal life and organizational skills. I am so thankful for this opportunity and the diverse amount of people that I have met through this internship. At the end of the four years at the university, the internship feels like a perfect conclusion to my journey as an undergrad.
