Spring/Summer 2003
I used a lot of the skills that I had acquired in my major classes at BYU. I knew how to run the computer programs that are essential to any organization. Writing skills, such as how to write a PSA or a press release came in very handy. I felt well prepared to take on the tasks given to me because of the classes that we required to take. I am a people person and that came in very handy because I was constantly interacting with those in community positions.
I learned a lot about not only myself but also about how to work in the “real” world. I am more creative in my approach to finding solutions and making things work for the community. I have an increased bank of knowledge about what needs to be done to help people and how to make sure that happens. I realize that change is not an easy thing to see happen and that you must fight to see that it does.
