I live in a bubble. Coming to New York by myself as a seventeen year old has completely changed my views and has taught me more about myself than I could have ever imagined. My internship made me realize that no, the world does not revolve around my needs and that everyone starts at the bottom. It was a tough lesson to learn but after interning for three weeks I have learned to accept it. My internship, with an emphasis on fashion merchandising, has taught me more about the business than I have even known before. Fortunately, I also realized that my interest in the fashion industry is one that is strong and this internship has nonetheless emphasized my choice for a college major. In addition, the women that I have met while working at Hasson Mireles have made a lasting mark on my future. The confidence, success and love for the business they work in reigns over the office and affects the people working there, including myself. All in all, being in the city and interning as well has changed me for the better. My views of the world, the people around me, everything has changed. As we finish up our final week here in New York I am happy to say that I will return to Orange County a different person. My bubble has officially burst.
