Summer School

My internship at the Tiger Woods Learning Center has come to an end, and I am so sad. So very, very sad. I will feed you a cliche by telling you that "I learned a lot" from this program, but I must tell you that I mean that in "more ways than one" (that's a cliche too!). 

Let's see...I learned...

• How to play Apples to Apples, Uno, Mafia, Electricity, and golf! :)
  
• How to build a mouse-trap car, a bottle rocket, an NXT robot, and a rubber-band racer.
• How to work with kids and adults (who can act like little kids sometimes! :))
• That I need a cover letter when I turn in a resume.
  
• That business cards are actually useful.
• That networking is the bombshizzle, yaddamean cuhh?
• That pretty paper is awesome - it elongates attention spans!
• That you can never please everyone, especially when you're working on a group of five different people who all have the tendency to be stubborn but amazing.
• That I'm not quite ready to be "professional" because I giggle too much, I make fun of lots of things, and I throw towels at Stephanie.
• That I can inspire even one person with a single act of kindness.
• That I can make a difference.
• And that I still want to meet Tiger Woods and say "thank you" for every opportunity that he has given to kids like me.

I am honestly going to miss that place, but I hope to volunteer over winter break just to see the kids, the teachers, and of course Donald! :)
