University of Canberra Magazine "Monitor"
This "Monitor" Magazine has been published by University of Canberra twice a year. The magazine originally started as a twelve pages tabloid news paper which became an online publication in 2005 then moved to the current format which is well printed magazine style. The magazine provides current topic at UC as well as reporting outstanding achievement of student and alumni student.
University of Canberra as Brumbies' main sponsor, has developed many connections with local sporting institutes, include AIS, Brumbies, Raiders, Canberra United etc... My internship opportunity with Brumbies came up within these environment. The honours degree in this University involves many research opportunities. Three staffs in the photo were all current or graduate the honours degree holders. I was really lucky that I joined this group of people to represent UC at Brumbies.
As I mentioned with my previous post in this blog, coaches at Brumbies are very open and the environment is the best for someone who is keen to develop a career through these research projects.
At the end of the degree in June 2013, I was contacted by ass-professor, who taught me a few subjects of sport studies, that UC media group is interested in your effort and would like to report the story in their publication. The ass-professor told me that "YOU DESERVED IT".
The word of "YOU DESERVED IT" is very important reward for someone who did extreme hard work to contribute something to a belonging organisation and themselves. During my stay in AUS from 2005 - 2013, How many times I could hear the word? Not many but when I heard the word to myself, I always felt that my effort was acknowledged and my effort was good enough to impress others.My study at UC and the internship with Brumbies, as well as working for local rugby team and local rugby school team were all great when I looked back the each content that I learned at the each place. However, working at Brumbies is very special moment. Finishing with the UC degree as well as the internship at Brumbies at the same time was something that I wanted to do.
I would like to thank to UC media group that they posted me 3 copies of the magazine to Japan. These kind of staffs, give us power for tomorrow and future sometimes.
Yes, I need to work hard and study hard to pursuit my career.
My study has not finished, yet.
