Today marks the end of my four-week internship at the Singapore office of an international law firm. Well, I leave that place with fond memories and I believe I have thorougly enjoyed myself. The people, the tasks given and the exposure, these will be remembered.
While there's no opening for either an extension or a permanent position, I am not disappointed because I know that this internship will add some weight and "colour" to my CV. I can say that I have worked in an international law firm, experienced the "high-end" work that they do and confirm my position that I am on the right track.
During this internship, I have asked myself why I chose to be a lawyer and why this path to be one. What if I had chosen to do a general business degree and find a comfortable job. Well, in one of my journal entries written during the days of my internship and all that, I was informed by my liaision officer for my SIP that the legal module that I took (which sparked off the interest in law) will not be a compulsory module for the subsequent batches on the Business IT course. This is because of the change in the structure of curriculum.
If this really happened, then I can only say that if I had entered the course later, I would not be where I am now. Hence, there is no alternate history for me and this shows that I am on the right track. So, this gives me the confidence to continue threading on this journey to be a lawyer.
Thanks be to God for the experience and all that has happened. I now take a back seat, scan the field for the next opportunity and take it - even if it is to return to London to work.
This episode has been an adventure and I come out of it happy, at peace and confident.
