    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Allow me to share my experience with these young men and women. In 1994, I was given an opportunity to work as an intern at Reuters International and while there, we started a program called African Journal. My adopted father, Jared Williams, asked me to stand behind him and watch everything that he did. I did that and I credit my success in life to what I learnt as an intern. I challenge them to think out of the box. They should ask themselves what they need to do as interns. An intern needs to take in what the mentor is doing then do it better. They have an opportunity that we did not have. This is where we make laws. It is about time that they immerse themselves into the art of research. They should not wait to be told what they should do. In the corporate world, an intern is perceived as a coffee person. I did that in the United Kingdom. They now have an opportunity to change their future. They should make friends who will be meaningful to their lives when they are here. I sit in the Committee on Health and we are dealing with issues that require the national approach. They should do research and ask themselves what they can do better. They have a lot of time and they can carry out research that can enrich our discussions in this House.
