With my internship beginning on Monday, I can’t help but remember a piece of advice from one of our Centennial College guest speakers, Tanya Wymer, Corporate Communications Manager at Novo Nordisk Canada. She suggested not planning ahead too much, so as to stay open to possibilities and recognize opportunities as they come along. While I normally keep a list of short-term and long-term goals, I decided to remain open to unexpected prospects. Planning to start my internship in a PR agency, I didn’t expect to find an intriguing opportunity in government, which actually led me to digress from my list of goals. She was definitely right, in that life’s “curveballs” could be opportunities in disguise. Having said that, I’m very excited to see where this government internship takes me.
