Best Internship Experience Ever!✨
I was initially going to save sharing this for last in what I'd like to now dub 'The Value Series' by me. But I've had second thoughts about that, so here I am. Very quickly (I need to work on this verbal tic soon; I say it too much), I'd like to briefly share this with you all🫱🏾🫲🏿
Virtually every vacation of mine as a pharmacy student has been filled with internships, mandatory requirements to successfully complete the Doctor of Pharmacy program. Each internship up to this point, whether in community pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, industry, or academia, has brought its own unique experiences. If you think this post is about one of these pharmacy-related internships, then you couldn't be more wrong...
Remember the VALUE perspective from my previous post? This mindset is what allowed me to step into this internship. After I'd just completed my hospital internship, I came upon an opportunity, one I would have ordinarily ignored for various reasons. It was an opportunity to intern with Pastor Hannah Abrahams-Appiah, whom I knew to be a Christian author. If you've gone through my profile, you'll see indicated: 'Christian,' 'Bibliophile,' and 'Aspiring Writer.'
Against my naturally reserved and fear-of-failure nature, I immediately told myself that I couldn't allow this opportunity to pass me by. I instinctively realized that this was the perfect opportunity to add VALUE to myself. It was either that or just wait for school to resume.
The opportunity came with a demand for a CV. I'd never even bothered to develop one for myself, but I decided that this was again, an opportunity to add value to myself. I quickly went on YouTube, downloaded a few videos on CV writing, and worked quickly to put one together and submit, despite feeling internally that this opportunity wouldn't be mine.
If you've read up to this point, it should be clear that I managed to squeeze into this valuable opportunity. And thus, I participated in my best internship experience ever in April 2024. To add more to this would be a little excessive, so let this be Part 1 of a wonderful experience shared with you. I hope you're learning and/or relearning something.
