I knew, deep inside me, that I needed to change this habit, but I have been always hiding this truth and saying that everything is fine, while everything is not fine!<\/p>\n<p>When I knew about this internship, I really wanted to join it, yet I didn\u2019t apply for it until the last days before the deadline. Luckily, I got accepted, but I still didn\u2019t change my habit of delaying important things, that\u2019s why I didn\u2019t finish the first assignment that we had, after we started, until the last possible minutes.<\/p>\n<p>We had assignments to do every week, and I understood that procrastinating won\u2019t do me any good, it would actually prove harmful. So I tried to stop it, to do things according to a schedule, to stick to that schedule. But, easier said than done, it was hard, especially for someone who has been procrastinating since\u2026 Well, since his childhood!<\/p>\n<p>While I was in this \u201cbattle\u201d against my old habit and my former self, a moment came when I thought that I cannot win, that I cannot change, that this struggle is useless. I was about to give up, when I had a golden piece of advice from one of my team leaders who knew the problem I\u2019m facing. This advice came in the form of a video talking about my problem, explaining it, and giving solutions to it.<\/p>\n<p>They say that the darkest parts of night are those that are just before the sunrise, well, I guess they\u2019re right! In the moment that I was pretty certain of losing the battle, victory came with that video. After watching it, I felt motivated to keep fighting, until I won!<\/p>\n<p>Getting rid of that accursed habit made me finish the program in time, and will definitely help me in the future, especially while trying to organize my lessons while studying. This is a turn point in my life and it is because of this wonderful program, that\u2019s why I shall be always indebted to it!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f3feab elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4f3feab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p><em>Global Nomads Group\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/gng.org\/ar\/youth-internship\/\">Content Creation Lab<\/a> 2022 Cohort actively created four new Student to Word courses focusing on the important theme of Careers for a Just &amp; Sustainable World: Architecture, Film &amp; Media, Finance, and Medicine &amp; Scientific Research.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Content Creation Lab youth intern Ahmed (Egypt) \u201cI had a golden piece of advice from one of my team leaders who knew the problem I&#8217;m facing. . . .
