Fiji – Kate
Student: Kate
Course: Bachelor of Public Health and Health Promotion
Program: GEL Think Pacific Internship 2023
I learnt many skills throughout my time in Fiji, especially communication, collaboration, organisation, and leadership.
I am also more appreciative of what I have here in Australia such as the opportunity to study at university, and I feel so much happier as a person.
I have learnt adaptability and I feel as if I can do anything I set my mind to, and my experience also helped me to learn problem-solving skills and teamwork. Furthermore, I have a stronger sense of confidence and I feel more prepared to get into the professional work industry.
Just do it! It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will change you as a person for the better. You learn so much about the culture and yourself as a person, and I would recommend trying and putting 100% into everything you do so you can get the most out of your amazing experience.
