In May, Venture Three opened up internship applications for those who’d participated in Creative Shift. I decided to go for it and spent time reworking my CV and cover letter to reflect everything I’d done this year. I reached out to Sat and Abraham for feedback. Abraham especially helped me see something I’d kind of suspected, but hadn’t owned yet: that I’m someone who naturally galvanises people. He pointed out that people often came to me for energy, guidance, or just to work things out, and that I seemed to like being that person.
In a full-circle moment, I ended the month by giving talks to incoming DPS students about my own experiences, especially with Global Campus Studio. I realised how much I enjoy public speaking and sharing what I’ve learned. It was rewarding to see how my journey could offer insight, or even reassurance, to others just starting out. May reminded me that growth isn’t always about outcomes; sometimes it’s about understanding your own strengths and embracing them.
