Hallo, everyone. My summer Internship started at the Indira Gandhi Airport Terminal 3, New Delhi at 02.45 am on May 23, 2015. My flight to Munich, Germany was at 04.30 am and I was running inside the Airport, transferring my luggage to my parents because I had exceeded 10 kg (equivalent to Rs. 20,000). The checking counters were going to close at 03.15 am, so I had 30 min to remove some of my extra luggage. Somehow, I managed to reach the counter at 03.10 am with 3 kg extra, which they eventually allowed, collected my boarding pass and headed towards Gate 28A. I was traveling alone for the first time outside India to Germany, the land of beer and bread to Intern at Technical University of Munich. I reached Doha, Qatar (transient stop) at 08.30 …show more content…
It was drizzling outside, a bit windy, but overall it was pleasant. While I was walking inside the Airport to collect my luggage, I felt a hand on my shoulder. He was a married German person, who was returning to Munich and he pointed his finger towards my handbag. To my surprise and thanks to mother gravity, because of the extra weight I stuffed inside my handbag, the chains were not able to handle so much pressure and it had popped up like a popcorn machine. In brief, my bag was torn even before I stepped outside the Airport. Somehow, I again managed my bag, crossed the Immigration office, collected my luggage, picked up my phone to transfer the Global calling card and found out that the sim which sim company gave me was a micro-sim, which would not fit in my cell phone. Trouble! I then used my India’s Vodafone number, (approximately Rs. 300 in balance) to call some students, who were also doing an Internship in Munich and came before me, to check where they were because I was shifting with them and surprisingly, I came to know that they had already left to Prague, Czech. They knew I was coming and I had told them to stay for the weekend, but they still went. Speak quite high about their intellect. So, I called up an Indian married guy, whom I had contacted from India and had asked if I could stay with him and his family for few days. Fortunately, he was at home and agreed to pick me up from his bahnof (metro station). So, with a broken handbag and 2 trolley bags I started my first journey in
Once we all had our food and we were all at the table we all agreed that the tacos they made that day were really nasty which kind of made some of us upset because we were actually hungry. After lunch, we all went and sat back in the classroom for the rest of the school day. Towards the end of the school day we all went to grab our luggage from the security room which had been checked by now and security took what we couldn’t have because it wasn’t safe. We then all took our luggage to this white van which was going to bring our stuff towards the dorm so we wouldn’t have to walk our entire stuff across the campus. Once we made it to the front we grabbed our things and they showed us to our rooms, after getting settled the rest of the day was nice we all met new faces and just had
A sergeant opened the door to our tent and commanded us to go to dinner. We were marched over to eat. This had been the most intense couple days of my life. It changed everything and all I knew from home was gone.
Imagine if you were being hunted down in your own country by an army who wanted you dead. What would you do? Would you run away and hide from the danger or would you accept the situation you were in and let yourself be killed? Some lucky people got the choice between both options, and I was one of them. I chose to hide from the danger present in front of me, purely because of a promise made between my father and a man named Hans Hubermann.
One time I helped a boy who had fallen, hitting his head on a rock, and the way the strangers
It was a hot day in June when my husband pulled into our driveway with a huge U-Haul truck. A few friends came to help load our meager belongings into the
After we had all ate breakfast, it was time to leave. I was so excited to fulfil my inner wanderlust over the next two weeks, that I had barely slept the last few nights. I wanted to be well-rested, so that I would be able to take in every second of the trip. I decided to take a nap in the car and told my parents to wake me up when we were thirty minutes out from the airport.
What do I have to gain from the Capital Semester Internship? That question can be answered by displaying what I can contribute as a participant in the Capital Semester Internship. As a senior and a Psychology and African American Studies major at Virginia Commonwealth University, a student worker, and an avid volunteer, I make a strong candidate for the Capital Semester Internship. My research interests which are a combination of psychology and social justice, my career goals that will utilize psychology to influence public policy, and my willingness to learn more about government on a local, state, and national level will help to enrich my experience in Virginia’s legislative branch of government this upcoming semester.
Giang drove back to her house and sent her the Dean of Chemistry an email explaining what had just happened at approximately 0100 hours on 12/10/2016. At this time I have nothing futher to
It was getting to the time of takeoff so I saluted the captain and headed toward my seat. I got to my seat and there was a screen where we could watch movies; it was all in English though but they had Portuguese subtitles which helped me. About 10 min into the movie, the plane started to move. I grabbed my mother’s arm and held it tight.
There were 15 of us from my church all squished into two vans. While I climbed into this big van I thought it was going to be so fun to drive up a mountain, see all the appealing scenery and have the thrill of almost feeling like we're going to fall. Well…. I was wrong. Every second there was a huge bump or pothole in the road so our heads were slamming against the side of the van.
It took about an hour for us to get on the next plane ride. Well we were on the plane this one I slept the entire trip I was so tired from waking up at 3 o'clock in the morning. especially with all the excitement it just drains all your energy. It was 4 o'clock in the afternoon when we reach Orlando, Florida. The first couple minutes were a little busy.
After that incidents with my brother, another terrible event took place in my house after my mother moved to America. As a Hmong family that practiced Sherism, my family had this set up in the middle of the house that contained a few cups filled with rice and water as well as a Laos five dollar bill in the center. It was a sunny day and I made a mistake by allowing myself to go out and enjoyed the fun with everyone else. When I returned home, everyone was waiting for me at the dinner table. As I entered the house, I had the exact feeling as those when my brother broke his arm.
When I was returning home, there were adults waiting in front of the school building for the bus to unload. Among those adults stood my older sister, holding an umbrella that shielded her from the rain. I was glad to see her after spending three days of camping with people who mistreated me because I was different. She opened her bag and gave me her potato chips, holding her umbrella over me as we walked home in the rain. She asked me if I had fun at the camp.
My spring break was fun and relaxing. First, on Sunday, I went to The Block to meet up with one of my friends that goes to a different school. As a result, we were able to catch up on things and go shopping. On Monday, my sisters and I went to the hair salon to get a haircut. That following day, my dad, sisters, and I went to the mall to have lunch and go shopping.
When I was only a couple of months old my mom and I were stuck in an airport due to delayed flights. The only luggage we had was my diaper bag and a backpack full of baby toys. I was miserable and cranky the whole entire time which didn’t make my mom feel better. At the time I had no idea what was going on but now that will be stamped in my memories forever.
