Virtual Water Cooler

Just to share a little about myself. I am a junior and an Organizational and Community Leadership major. I am originally from Michigan, but I am enjoying my life on the east coast. I enjoy just about every sport and I love to be active, not sitting inside a house cooped up all day.

This past winter I interned at a local non-profit and had a great experience. I had an amazing leader that made it a point to know everyone in the office and to see how they were doing. She made it an environment that was enjoyable to go to everyday. Since my experience I have tried to do better myself and get to know a little about people I have classes with and also those on my team. Since I see them everyday, I try to remember the little things that are going on in their life such as an exam coming up or an event that past and see how it went.

Having a great experience like the one I had has made a great impact on my life. I think my outlook would be a completely different if I had a bad experience. I see myself as lucky to have been able to learn so much from her.
