During my summer holiday , I got $17 from my internship with the New York Times , my days started at 6 am & ended at midnight , that made me feel quiet disappointed.

To be honest , my internships in New York Times consisted of meaningless tasks that in no way contributed to my skill set as well .One day , my supervisor sent me to get water . I got it and he said “sorry , I forget to tell you I don't take cold water” , I had to return it to get another one.
