Final Campus Safari!


          As a final Campus safari, I attended a athletic lecture. It was presented by employees at Enterprise car rental. The focus of the skills enrichment speech was how to write a good resume, and present yourself as a good employee.  Because only athletes could attend, it was focused on why athletes make such good employees.  Being a college student athlete really enhances a resume because it shows the employer that you have good time management, commitment and focus. The speech went over the do's and don'ts at an interview. The do's included dressing to empress, being prepared and being knowledgeable about the company you are applying for.

          I thought the presentation was very helpful and definitely beneficial. I will not be using those skills for a few years because I am only a freshmen but the presentation reminded me that, though sometimes it may be difficult, I am differentiating myself from others by being a student athlete.  Hard work and dedication in gymnastics will help me in more ways that I think of. Being part of the lecture was beneficial to keep me motivated and remind me to stay active in student life, athletics, and community service because they will all be helpful in the long run when I go to get a job. Very few people can say they were a college gymnast. I think being a college athlete will help me with my future job in particular because I want to be an orthopedic PA. I will constantly be working with athletes, and I will have an understanding with what they are going through.
