It was Monday 26th of June 2017 - the big day where I will start my first day at my first internship at an outsourced marketing firm. I remember coming here on Sunday afternoon, the day before to take a peek at where the beginning of my marketing career will start. Though it is a long distance away from home, I was excited to travel here every morning for the next few months. It has been three weeks since that Sunday afternoon, though it may sound a long time already, it has been going by in a flash.

The biggest lesson we learned

It's happened. I tell you... I dreamed about it but didn't really expect it would really happen. It did... and now I am chasing my tail.
