LINK is now over, really over. What I thought would be horrible my first day turned out to be something I never wanted to end. Leaving the last day was hard, my coworkers got me a card and cupcakes which was very sweet of them. I have to say that my three weeks at Chimera were the best of my life. I realized my passion, graphic design. I was independent and feel that I learned a lot about myself. I can flourish on my own and take care of myself, I will be ready when I leave for college. I know now that I truly enjoy the work environment within which my field of work takes place. Before internship, I truly wasn't sure which path I wanted to pursue in my life and that terrified me. Upon my first day, not being sure if I would like where I was, scared me more than I can express. Leaving next year for college and having to decide my life course is scary. My internship taught me to keep trying, not get discouraged if things don't go how I expected, and no msatter what happens I will be ok. Being on my own for three weeks made me nervous but I have discovered that I will be ok on my own and am very excited for my future full of the things I love. I am grateful for my Internship for so many reasons, it has set me on my path to success.
