Rainy day in the city

Today I was walking to staples and I got "lost" in the city. When I say lost I really wasn't because I knew I was on Walnut Street yet I didn't know where I was headed (figuratively..I knew I needed to find staples!) Anyways, it started to rain and everyone got frantic with their umbrellas and hiding under awnings, as I just kept walking looking for where I was going. It dawned on me that I definitely stuck out, caught up in my own world- listening to my iPod only focusing on where I was.. There was the usual “business man” passersby and later on my adventure I wondered if I would become someone like that- running under awnings in hopes to not ruin my suit or something, or am I going to marry someone like that?! Anyways, the whole concept of Corporate America has been weighing heavy on my mind lately and it is intriguing because I am getting my first taste of it here at SHM, but even just looking at the different aspects whether on my way to and from work, at work, or just through daily observation. This to me is an illustration of my professional growth- there I was in the street doing the exact opposite of everyone else. I feel that this is just me sometimes and I need to learn ways that other people do things even if it’s not the way I would do it. Not to say that I am a hard person to get along with or to teach something to, but it is one of the areas I need to grow in and would like to understand others more, professionally & personally!
