I grew up with my parents and in a city. So people live is a fast lane.People come and people go. Friends come and they also go. So never did I feel connected with anybody before. Not before my greatest internship that did not only give me the financial freedom I so longed for but also the friendship that I was craving for my whole life.
It was a paid internship in Mexico. The language was new and the culture was new. The adjustment I had was the hardest obstacle I had faced in my entire life. People do not understand me and i do not understand them.
Though the scenery was a heaven to behold it still does not change anything about the culture shock I had. Not until my friend befriended me. I just understand my friend even without words. Even the silent wants and needs are carried into my ears and heart. that made me stronger, that made me stayed for my summer internship.
Besides the experience I know that the knowledge that I would gain from practical study is very important. Thus, i stayed with the help of my friend. I slowly blended with the culture. Yes, I have to admit sometimes there are clashes but with that came with the knowledge that one creation understands me and would approve of me.
My entire summer internship changes my internship definition; now it comes with a smile, pleasure and thankfulness and satisfaction. The word work has changed its meaning.
With every applause and disappointment my friend is always there for me. Friendship has grown between us that can only happen once in a lifetime. My friend gave me my work now. He is the instrument of why I understand the world of the horses.
For my friend is Joey a horse I am trying to train for a race.
