WibiGoo Internship Experience (Jeeseob Jung)

When I first volunteered for this internship, I was in fact kind of afraid in addition to being super excited. From what I vaguely knew about the company in advance, it was an independent software company that was in partnership with Google, but other than that I knew zip, nada. I wasn't positive about the tasks we would be assigned to do, and I wasn't really into "tech stuff," which was how I classified anything to do with computers or codes.

However, work at WibiGoo was drastically different from what I expected- Annabelle and I were very involved in the company's activities and not at all required to know anything about codes, software, wires, or other technical magic at all. In fact, we were mostly in charge of translations of the company's website, manuals and surveys. Maykel, the founder of WibiGoo and our internship director, taught us about the functions of Google, the cracks and crevices of the Internet and its behind-the-scene dangers, and the purpose of WibiGoo and its software called 'arewedoing. Although I never learned how to code an app or properly work the software, I learned so much about the cyber world and was able to enhance my Spanish through the sufficient amount of translation from Spanish to English (and the other way around) that I did with Annabelle.

(Although this may sound cheesy) I am so grateful to Mrs. DT, Maykel, José Luis (his partner) and the entire GCIP program for allowing me this amazing opportunity. I truly mean it because working at WibiGoo has helped me to open my horizons and grow interest in new things. Perhaps I will never be a software developer or the CEO of Google but i have grown as a person and learned much about the work and cyber world.
