Adrien from France

Hi everyone!My name's Adrien and I'm from Paris, France, one of the only European kids of the programs!I picked my internship in real estate because of my career ambitions.This internship turned out to be really useful about my orientation. I realized, during this month in this company, that real estate was what I wanted to do later. I have to say that my mentor helped me a lot. He showed me how hard this job was but, on the other hand , how interesting it is. My idea of this job was far away from the truth, I understood that you have to communicate with such different people, to adapt yousrself to so many situations. The first time I visited apartments , I went to a creepy building in Fenway where the elevators stopped every five seconds but I loved it! It's part of the job, and the best one actually. I met people from opposite social backgrounds living in studios or 5 bedroom apartment and it rocks!I had to pass an exam July 2nd, as a matter of fact, I came a week later than all the other interns. I was a bit scared to be excluded from the group. When I arrived at Emerson, the interns were so nice to me! They asked a lot of questions and were really interested about how a French kid ended up in CE. I made a lot of friends really easily, I improved my english and I spent four wonderful weeks. Being only 35 teenagers in this program is a good thing, in spite of all preconceived ideas: we get to know each other really quickly so we can establish good relationships. The night activities are also pretty good, you can either hang out with your friends in Boston or doing GA options. The best thing in CE is that you're treated as an adult, your GA trusts you, as opposed to other summer organizations I applied past summers.
