Navigating Internship Choices

GMA Network to YATU Productions

Introduction:
I am pleased to share the details of my application journey, specifically focusing on the approval
of my application letters and the subsequent decisions I made. This report aims to provide insight
into the choices I faced, the considerations that influenced my decisions, and the preparations I
undertook while awaiting responses.

Chapter 1: Application Approval:

With enthusiasm, I submitted my application letters to various organizations, including GMA
Network. The news of my application's approval from GMA Network brought a mixture of
excitement and contemplation. But as I got in touch with them, it became clear that the internship
program offered by GMA Network was entirely online and focused on activities that could be
done from home, like writing and proofreading.

Chapter 2: Desire for Onsite Experience:

While I greatly appreciated the opportunity offered by GMA Network, I recognized that my
aspiration to experience an onsite work environment was paramount to my personal and
professional growth. I made the choice based in part on the desire to become fully immersed in a
physical workstation, engage with professionals, and witnessing the dynamics of a media
organization.

Chapter 3: Choosing YATU Productions

In light of my desire for an onsite experience, I decided not to proceed with my application to
GMA Network. Instead, I revised my application letter and targeted YATU Productions, hoping
that this decision would lead to an opportunity more aligned with my goals. It was not an easy
choice for me to pursue a different company, but it was motivated by my desire to actively
participate in the film production industry in order to get insightful knowledge of the field.
Chapter 4: Preparation and Delays
While waiting for the revised application's approval, I used the time to prepare myself mentally
and physically for the potential challenges of an onsite internship. I researched film production
processes, improved my technical skills, and brushed up on my industry knowledge.
Coincidentally, the approval process took longer than expected due to storms affecting the
region. These unexpected delays turned out to be a blessing in disguise, allowing me ample time
to ready myself for the role.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, my journey from being approved for an internship at GMA Network to ultimately
choosing to revise my application for YATU Productions has been a significant learning
experience. The consideration of onsite versus remote work, along with my determination to
pursue my goals, underscored the decisions I made. The unforeseen delays in approval, attributed
to storms, provided me with the valuable time I needed to equip myself for the potential
opportunities ahead.

As I look forward to the response from YATU Productions, I am confident that the choices I've
made align with my aspirations and will contribute to my personal and professional
development. I express my gratitude for the guidance of my adviser and the lessons I've gained
throughout this application journey.
