A Meaningful Internship

by Rizki Mei Kurniawan (Indonesia)

I didn't expect to find Indonesia

Three years ago, when I'm studying on film making focused in the small University called University of Jember on a small town, Jember. Far away from the capital city of my country, Jakarta. Then, on that year I must going to internship program to fulfill my course. I going to Jakarta to join an internship program in a production house. This is my first experience to travel this far by myself. I embrace myself to get this experience, traveling with a bus for almost 2 days with small amount of money, this trip is so meaningful for me, I meet so many people in the bus, so many people with diverse background, so much experience I got from those people. When I arrived in the Jakarta and joining the production house, they gave me so many job to do. Well, I experienced how hard is life in the capital city, so much problems i find, and the people here is very tight. I get so much hard time here, my chief on the production house get angry with me so many times, because of my fault, even when I'm not do that in purpose. Day by day I understand, this is how people here way to life. I learned how discipline the athmosphere here. After my internship program ended, I'm very thankfully with those people, they gave me so much experiences and lessons that I'm never got before. That internship and that trip really changes me, I become more discipline and understand how hard is to make money. When I back to my college, I practiced what I got there into my life and my college things.
