Week 7 Learnings

This week I learned how valuable hard work and dedication is. This past summer, I did an internship with Nissan and I tried my best to do really well. I took on a lot of projects and helped out a lot of people, hoping it would pay off. I’ve been hoping to go back and do another internship with them and eventually begin full time work with them after I graduate. I didn’t expect to hear back from them before December, but they called me on Thursday to offer my another internship early because they wanted to nail me down and make sure I got to work for them before someone else tried to hire me. They also gave me a huge pay raise. It was so wonderful to see all the late nights pay off and learn that the easy way is definitely not always the best way. A lot of the other interns I worked with did not get offers because they took long lunches and would leave early. It was super nice to see that hard work and dedication are still valued over flattery.
