I will start my blog with Arnold Bennett quote “ The real tragedy is the tragedy of the man who never in his life braces himself for his one supreme effort-he never stretches to his full capacity, never stands up to his full stature.”

This part here never stretches to his full capacity got me thinking was I doing all that I could in life to reach my maximum potential and the answer was no all I was doing was making big dreams in my head and blaming the world when those dreams didn't come true.

For my summer vacations my friend and I had decided to go for internship at Nestle. We were three friends and she said she would make sure that all three of us could make it, almost the entire summer vacations went by with no call or news one day my friend called me to tell me that she had got into nestle internship but they will only take one internee. She was feeling bad that she had let us down I was also disappointed but I told her that she should go and avail the opportunity at the same time my other friend got into UNICEF internship and It is my dream company and they never take interns and she was the one they took since last 5 years with a heavy heart I sincerely congratulated her and I realized that I had to do something so after a little research I decided to go for Nishat Hotel.

As it is a compulsory internship for institutional management we can take any company with special reference to food and nutrition so I decided to apply for the kitchen at the Nishat hotel. My university friends who were doing an internship there told me they were already full but I decided to visit in person.

So I went to the hotel and told the receptionist that I wanted to meet the HR person the receptionist told me that he gone for the day so went home that day and called my university fellow and got the name of the HR manager and she told me to go straight to the HR office at the back the so next day went straight to the HR office and gave my CV in person they told me to visit after some days, So far I have visited four times they told me they will start internships after Eid and I will visit them the very first working day after Eid.

Its true that my friends are doing better internships but I will not give up each day I learn new things I write in my diary when the day gets too hard I try to exercise 3 to 4 times a day and I have good friends and loving family who help me, listen to me and I am thankful for these things.

I will end by Elaine Maxwell quote “ Whether I fail or succeed shall be no mans doing but my own. I am the force.”
