Intern Meetup at the MET Cantor Rooftop & Garden
19th July 2019 @ 7:00 pm
A meetup, organized by Magdalene Wiredu, that was between a few students from Germany who decided to intern in the City that never sleeps – New York City!
New York City is indeed a city that never sleeps, with a lot to do and a lot to experience. As Eleanor Roosevelt once said: “The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.” And the best experiences are made with people who are on the same journey as oneself.
What started as a meetup with complete strangers ended with laughter, great conversations about life, and work in New York and exchange of experiences. Who would have thought that each and every one experienced it differently?
One good conversation can shift the direction of change forever; and one of our many conversations was the difference of life and culture between Germany and the United States. Both western cultures, but still very different. Our New York expert – Zahra, a student at Berkeley College who will be studying at Hochschule Fresenius Cologne in September 2019, was able to enlighten us about all the questions we had about New York. And the same was done in return, to enlighten her on the “must know” facts of Germany and specifically Cologne. A great meetup, with great people in an even greater city. What more can one wish for?!
Additional thanks to Christine Degraux, Johanna Barfuss, Kristy Greenhill, Niclas Wiedmann, and Zahra Sajid for joining the meetup.
Please come to our next meetup on August 9th. Hopefully this time the roof will be open at the Met Museum!
Invitation:
Gaze into the view of Manhattan from the Rooftop at the Metropolitan Museum and connect with other German interns that stay in New York!
