Last week, I went for my annual eye-check-up. I was made to meet an eye surgeon. After she conducted her tests, rather matter-of-factly she told me that she had been my trainee.
A week before, a young lady bumped into me at a members-only club and said, “Do you remember me? I interned with you. I now head marketing at Uber in LA.”
And a few weeks before that, a couple asked me if they could take a selfie with me and send it to their son who was now in England and who had interned with me.
