The Final Week

Hi all. I’ve passed through the 9 shortest weeks of my summer and here I am- in the last week of my internship. On Friday, the interns had their graduation ceremony. Each of the 24 of us had to present a Powerpoint for five minutes on any projects that we had completed throughout the course of the summer. I presented a fact sheet that I had made for the Foundation, and also gave a brief overview on what the Foundation is about, considering the fact that it’s very different from the functions of Avon Products. Everyone’s teams came to support their respective interns. One of my teammates even took a video of my presentation! J

The anticipation throughout the week was pretty intense, as our intern manager had us do a full run-through the day before the real deal. I’m not very experienced in the presentation department, so for the first run-through, I was so nervous that I barely remembered what I had said to the audience! I thought that I would have had the same issue when it came time for the actual graduation, but I ended up feeling calmer onstage during my presentation. Knowing that I had practiced A LOT and that my team was there supporting me really helped to calm my nerves. All of the interns presented beautifully and showed off very interesting presentations of a huge variety.

I expect this week to be busy, as I’m tying up lose ends on the many things that I still have to accomplish. On Thursday, my team is having a farewell pizza party for me, which I’m very excited for. They have been too good to me this summer, and I can’t thank them enough for the opportunities I’ve been given and the courtesy that I’ve been shown. I hope to update later in the week.
