Internship

​11th January marks the day of me stepping into a the working environment for the first time. It was a Monday, and with the tradition of the company, they've included a weekly sync up meeting on Mondays. We all went in a circle, with each of us introducing ourselves. I got to know everyone in the company, and in addition to that there are also 4 other interns. I was given an actual client project on the first day itself, and I still remember clearly in my head the thoughts that came to me when I open the project files for the first time, "What is this? I've never laid hands on a project this size before!". I was so worried that I'd mess up the code for everyone working on it. But luckily, everyone is just so nice and patient with me. Fast forward to 6 months later, my internship came to an end. And during that period of time I have learnt more about software development than I have in my 2 years of studies. I've learnt good programming practices, collaboration skills, several productivity hacks, and so much more. Out of the persuasion and support of my co-worker, I've even gain enough confidence to apply for Apple's WWDC Scholarship, and won! The company had also been supportive enough to sponsor me the trip expenses to attend WWDC, held in San Francisco. The most important aspect of my internship would be working alongside people who are passionate about what they do. The people that I work with aren't just working to pay the bills, they are working because it allows them to do what is passionate about, which I think is very important. Surround yourself with people like them and inevitably you will get motivated to work harder, to reach higher, and to always be a better version of yourself. I know I did.
