On the 18th of May, my business mentor, Dan Laughlin, as well as other classmates of mine met for the last time of the year. It was a bitter sweet moment as we all have grown close with Dan throughout the year. We all learned a lot from him and I think we managed to teach him some things too. The biggest thing I will take from this experience is to find your passion and pursue it. You will never be successful in your career if you do not love what you do. The only way to find your passion is to try an array of different experiences and see what you are drawn too.
As for a final project, I would like to shadow an engineer on an average work day. I already know some people who would be willing to let me do this, and this summer I am planning to set up a few days where I tag along side them and learn from first hand experience. I would also love to stay in touch with Dan and consult him with any questions relating to any career because he knows the general model for success in any field. I am also interested in working with the "honors program" because I feel that my mentorship was extremely helpful and more kids should have the same opportunity that I had.
