About today
Today I received an e-mail inviting me to be part at an internship program at the biggest Brasilia's newspaper, but, I don't know, I didn't really feel excited about it. I've always imagined myself working there and it's a great opportunity for sure, but I am so tired of being an intern!
See, about two months ago, I finished an internship at a huge international company and it was extremely exhausting! I had to work for more than 6 hours, which is the limit of hours an intern can work here in Brazil, and, sometimes, I swear, I had to work for 12 hours straight! And the best part is: I didn't receive anything for that! Not even a recommendation letter! I asked four times to my former boss to write one for me and he said "of course I'll write a recommendation letter for you", but I'm still waiting.
You know, it' really hard to be young and to never be taken seriously. It's really a bummer. I hope someday people will treat me with a little bit of respect. Days are hard for people of my age. No perspectives, no jobs, no cars and no serious money.
