How did I spend my 1st intern stipend?<\/p>\n

\n

When I got my first stipend I was excited since it was in my very first year of degree college that I got a paid internship.<\/p>\n

While all my friends asked for a party, I saved a little in the bank,\u00a0gave 15% of it to my parents, grand parents and sister.\u00a0I was able to contribute little amount to a local NGO run by a convent school near my home for which the kids in the organization personally thanked me with a hand-made card.\u00a0I really cherish the moment when I donated some amount of my stipend to a little boy suffering from cancer, of course what I gave wasn’t enough but I tried to do as much as I can from my end and make some difference.<\/p>\n

That’s how I spent my 1st stipend, the benefits of which I am enjoying to this day and gives me immense pleasure that at the age of 18, \u00a0I was able to make a difference in some people’s lives and those moments will be cherished forever in my life.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
