An Intern’s Experience: The Story of SharifaI was blessed to spend six weeks of my summer holidays in Hyderabad, India, on an exceptionally interesting internship.

I have had the opportunity to work as a full-time English and Personality Developmentteacher for a month, teaching students from grades five to nine. My main objective was toincrease their confidence levels and aid them in developing a sense of individuality. Most of my teaching sessions would have the ‘Golden Rule’ written on the board with a marker, the rule being: Know yourself! Unsurprisingly, the more I taught students to explore who they were as individuals, I learnt more about myself as well.

Overall, the journey was challenging yet rewarding. I met people from different parts of the world from Egypt, Turkey, Brazil, Cambodia, Bahrain, Malaysia, China, and more. It was my first time to meet someone from Cambodia and my first time to live with all these different nationalities in one place! I am thankful for this opportunity and would gladly encourage any AIESEC member that is interested in going abroad and experiencing a new culture, to go for it fearlessly!

Living each day as our last is not a myth or some phrase that is to be said. It is a reality that should be lived, and being of greater service to people adds a lot of value and contentment to one’s life.

Embracing DiversityEvery person you have ever walked past – they have had a lifetime of experiences that shaped them into who they are today.

Ignore the labels that are placed on an individualand purely look at the experiences that have shaped him/her. Put yourself in their shoes and make a connection to their experiences.

You don’t have to love every single difference – just understand and appreciate them. That is embracing diversity.
