Hello everyone! Happy Thursday ka.
I just finished preparing one podcast episode and wish to share it further with you ka.
As the one-month program funded by the US Education Department was challenging in terms of design, networks, and time, we managed to have one intern (Nong Keng -- เก่ง) who's a sophomore at the Faculty of Political Science, Chula. Since the program included a trip to the south, Keng's mom had to be responsible for the airfare and accommodation.
We zoomed to hear not only his reflection but also his mom's view about the overall internship experience ka.
Here are a few things captured from the session ka:
1. Keng said he was quietly thinking of having some money from his internship, which wasn't the case. His mom said money was important but the experience and how he used his time during the school holidays meant much more ka. At the end of the program, he said we need to think of the gains beyond the money.
2. He considered himself a 'demo' to show to our team what he could do and help so he tried his best. It was admirable that he was very responsible to deliver work in time, was observant to offer his help before being asked, and was eager to learn more when he saw some room to participate.
3. His mom mentioned that her son is a mature young guy who acts as he promises so she didn't have that much worry about his internship.She was glad to see how he has learned with fun from playing quite a few roles which could help him see the work in real life.
4. One best thing he got out of this internship, he said the first was the friendship he got from the US teachers as well as from our organizing team and Fulbright alumni.
A few American teachers told us how they liked him and one wished he could visit her state when he attends the 'Work and Travel' program next year.
5. He felt good to have room for expressing his views and to know that his voice is heard.
The younger gen wants to show their stand on issues discussed and the older gen must be open-minded, allowing them to do so....in fact it's great to learn with and from them too ka.
6. Several things he thinks he needs to strengthen further are a more systematic thinking process, solving unexpected issues onsite, and asking good questions.
Would you pay for your kids to be our interns mai ka?
