Moin Adil, a student of Amity University in Lucknow decides be different from the lot and enrolls for AIESEC Lucknow's Global Internship Programme for his summer training.
The result was a magical experience ranging 4 weeks in one of the world's most beautiful places, St. Petersburg , Russia.
As a young & striving 21 year old, one may not experience life at its best, not because we are not ready to accept the atrocities of life, but just because our choices are not that critical.
On the contrary, I consider myself fortunate to make one such choice which competely influenced my self being. This choice was none other than choosing to go for an internship in St Petersburg.
My unshaken trust in AIESEC to change lives eventually effected me after working for 8 months for AIESEC Lucknow, India, when I applied and got selected for a technical internship in St Petersburg, Russia.
Its regarded as one of the most beautiful city of the world, full of amazement and surprises, the night life was very exciting, we used to work in office from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm and then party from 8:00 pm to 6:00 am, followed by four hours sleep and then back to work at office. Travelling in metros of St Petersburg was all more thrilling, passing from beneath the Neva river through the world's deepest subway.
Staying in a flat with interns from America, Brazil, Spain, Serbia, Sweden and Dubai was all more enriching and entertaining. What I learned in 6 weeks, would have taken me a year or two had i not went for this amazing internship. Those 6 weeks made me more impressive and expressive, enhanced my technical and enterpreneurial skills. It was a life time experience, the best that I had till now. Moreover, as St Petersburg lies in Europe, I got a taste of the Russian as well as of the Europian culture.
It was a journey whose leader and follower was no different but me and hence I would seriously like to recommend these kind of internships for one and all. My complete stay in an alien environment (initially) was a challenge on my face which I openly accepted and with the help of AIESEC St Petersburg overcame victorius.
