I got an internship in the USA, in a company I wantedto. Big thanks to "U in the USA", they greatly helped mefinding this company and arranging an interview. Iobtained a lot of useful knowledge, while working with"U in the USA" which I am applying already even in theUniversity. And which will be very helpful when I am inthe USA. Special thanks to Jean-Marc, he alwaysbelieved in me! There was a moment where I wasthinking of aiming something easier, but he said "Youcan do it, don't give up, we are almost there", and hewas right!Believe in yourself.., it could just take little more timethan you think to get what you want!.) I also like thephrase, Les Brown once said, Don't give up aiming whatyou want, otherwise you will get what you don't want...He said it in a bit different way but with the samesense.
