My Internship

Here is recent news from Sae Na Park, a South Korean sudent at Embassy New York:

As a result of studying at Embassy New York, I had the opportunity to participate in an internship at Flower Publishing. I did not know what to expect, what I would be doing, or who I would be working with. At Flower Publishing, I learned interesting and valuable information as well as skills that will be useful to me in the future. I learned about the process of advertising, which will be useful to me since I plan to work in the advertising field.

Also, I learned about how to get along in a work environment, which will be useful in any job. I always felt that I was accomplishing something and that was quite satisfying. Another positive outcome from my internship at Flower Publishing is I could meet a lot of native speakers from diverse situations. One day, my supervisor gave me a small mission which was to report about a shop for the next month's advertising. First, I visited the shop and met the owner of the salon and interviewed her to get information. Finally, I took many pictures of the shop to publish in the issue. I felt like real reporter and I did the project by myself from start to finish.

As well as learning things related to publishing a guide, this internship gave me the opportunity to learn a thing or two about myself. I became far more aware of my interests in this field and after the initial fear of incompetence, I actually became more self-confident. As I mentioned, I’d never been challenged like this before. I had no idea that I'd be able to learn so much in such a short time. As the kind of person who seeks challenges, this has definitely been something I have enjoyed immensely. Never once was I able to become bored -I loved it! I'd like to thank Flower Publishing, Peter, Mauricio, Jasmine, Somah, Stephanie, and especially Embassy. This internship has certainly been something I will never forget.
