Intern Girl

Everything in the Beginning

I’m Bailey Page. I was just another ordinary girl. Okay, maybe not so ordinary. I was one of those quirky weirdo girl that most of the people avoid. Most of the people, cause I don’t know how I found a friend. Not just a friend, but a lifetime partner in sad and joy. We’re not married or anything. We just bestfriend, you know like that crazy teddy bear and his owner on movie ted. We are pretty much like that. Except she is a real human, not a talking teddy bear that smoke pot.  

  She is the most awesome girl I’ve met. She is Carlie Edison, but I like to call her Carl. She is a smart, friendly, and an adventure seeker girl. The common thing that we have was probably our gender, age, and Snuggles. When we were twelve, we went to this boothcamp and we found Snuggles on the wood. He was this cute little dog, and when we found him he was just like a month old. He was so pale and we think he got lost from the pack. So, we decided to take him home. He becomes our pet since then.

   Its kinda funny when I looking back, cause all I can saw is just all the fun and laugh. All the time I shared with Carl, all those precious little things we did. But, I know exactly how my childhood really are. Its not pretty and fancy. It just a small house fill with me, mom, and my little brother. Its tough and harsh. I didn’t know exactly how to be a child back then. When all the kids play with their barbie doll, me and Carl play with dirt on our backyard. I was so shy to get out, Carl was the only friend I have.  

  I was too afraid if I ever get out, people gonna make fun of me. People gonna look at me in disgust. People gonna say my name in whisper as if it was taboo. Cause that was all they ever did, when I go to the market, or the public pool, or the park, everywhere. I kept myself under the shadow for very long time. Everynight, I always pray to God. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day than today. And God always grant it, it getting better day by day. Even just so slight, but things change slowly.   

 Uh, over with the sad dramatic childhood. I don’t really care about that anymore, that was over. Now, I’m looking at my future. I’m holding my internship application for London Youth Journalism. It was this company that run the biggest journalism website on London. The website fill with those young people stuff, like concert and stuff I don’t really know. I’m not such a person that flow with all this new things. I keep my old cellphone that can only make a call, take a call, and send message. Its multifunction, duh.    

People buying all this new smartphone. But the smartphone itself only make people dumber (I’m not sure thats even a word, but I’m still gonna use it.) They download all this stuff that they think so cool, but it actually just useless. Like how many app did you need to just take a picture? And cause you can do so many things online, you barely meet a human being in like weeks. Yeah, things change a lot. People think all this smartstuff make them smarter? They just look like foolish. Like this guy I met on the train station, he ask an app what should he eat for lunch. Dude, that is a phone not your damn wife.       

 And Carl told me once, that her phone can track her period. Wow, so now you can just pee on your phone, and it can tell you you’re pregnant or not. Pretty amusing, huh? So, now you must be wonder why I want to go to this young people thing all of sudden. The answer was pretty simple, I just love journalism like crazy. And according to the newspaper that I read two days ago, this company is the big one on the industry and its looking for an intern. Big chance for me, isn’t it?   

   I filled all the form, and ready to ship it to the post office. And all I can do now is just pray and wait for the next two weeks. Wish me luck!
