End of the Road

At last! I’m finally down to my last remaining hours in internship. I am feeling mixed emotions, happy but sad and sad but happy. I am happy because I am done with my one-year course of internship, I am sad because I’ll be departing from the place that almost felt like home. Well, goodbyes are not the end but a commencement of something new, a breath of fresh air.

The value of togetherness and camaraderie are the things that I have learned in my internship with Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The whole organization has been very successful since the day it operated until now. The success it made was through the staffs who value each other so much.

They treat each other as family. Even I as an intern was treated as “baby” in the big family they have. There were no factions even though the whole organization was bureaucratic. Each department worked hand in hand harmoniously. Although the departments have its own function, whenever they see the other department is in need of help, they without second thoughts would help as long as the other department is not busy. A great example of this is the recently concluded General Membership Meeting. GMM is the flagship activity of the Membership Department but the other departments are helping them to make the activity successful. Truly, the success of a company or the business relies on the harmonious working relationship of the people.
