The first piece of knowledge I have gained from both the radio station and magazine is to learn
and experience anything and everything at any internship or job. I was aware of this well before
beginning work, but I think it sunk in after the first week of work. Looking back at my very first
post, I stated how I “just want to learn. Whether the knowledge I gain will benefit my future or
not, it is still important that I learn from these two internships. I really want to know what it is
like to work at both of these companies...” I still stand by this statement. I think any work
related experience is vital if one wishes to have a successful career. And I literally mean any job
experience. I did not think my work at A.T. Cross would help me get the internship at RI
Monthly; little did I know that it was the reason why I was accepted at the magazine. They
loved the blurbs I wrote for the pen catalogue and it was exactly what they were looking for. So
because I am open to (almost) any experience, it shapes me as a writer.
