As a student, many a time during
talks, we come across the topic of aspirations and, with the help of our school,
we've finally been able to give light to our words. Oakridge's Junior
Internship Program titled "Taste of my Future" was the key to the
treasure of our dreams and aspirations.
After departing off for winter break,
the needle of our compass pointed a different way for each one of us. Some of
us set out to intern under wonderful people like lawyers, doctors, sportsmen,
painters, etc. The path I decided to
sail towards was the path of business along with my friend who accompanied me. My
task was simple: To spend a day or two with a person of the career that you
aspire to be; that person will also be called your mentor.
My mentor was Ms. Sona Chatwani, who owns
an interior designing company. She was a great mentor who spent time with me,
answered my questions, and told me what it was like to be a wonderful interior
designer as well as a hardworking business woman. Spending many hours with her,
I realized how busy a career person she is. It takes a lot of hard work,
cooperation, and commitment to be successful — the key things I learned and
observed from her.
It was a great day in a life of a business
woman; but, I learned that it comes with a lot of responsibility and duty. I left
with a whole briefcase of knowledge — the challenges, opportunities, hard work,
and commitment of a successful business woman like Ms. Sona Chatwani. The
internship turned out to be very fruitful and knowledgeable. As we know, there
are many professions in the world and each one of them is special in its own
way. Because of Oakridge, I was able to get a clearer picture of my aspirations
after observing and learning from my new role model — Ms. Sona Chatwani.
