I did my internship back home in Tonga. I worked for the Ministry of Information as an editor-apprentice. It was a very good experience. I applied all the things that I learned at school from UA Hawaii into kind of like for me was the real world kind of and I was able to discipline myself to, you know, especially getting to work on time, completing tasks and projects that were entrust upon me. But yeah, I felt really good about myself and it helped me to decide what career I wanted to pursue after graduation. So I highly recommend you guys to apply for an internship because we would be able to grow from our own comfort zone if we wouldn't be courageous enough to step up from that comfort zone. So yeah, I highly encourage you guys to apply for an internship while you're on it. So mahalo.
