Mail time

Dear Christine,
In the past months I have grown so much as a person and as a young adult. I think the biggest thing you have helped me with is the little things. You have kept me on point and in check whether it is that my formatting is off or managing my time to get things done. One thing that I have recently read in my book for the Monday morning meeting is leading by example- that is probably the best way you have taught me. It has been a pleasure to follow you because you prove that it is possible to manage more than one person should be able to handle. I think that in the beginning of my time here I absolutely hated membership and didn’t even really understand the point of it, but now I have really learned to not only like membership but really understand and get annoyed when other people don’t do it because I have finally come to realize the importance of it. Not only that but even when I have gone to do other assignments for other people you have still cared to supervise and check up on everything that I am doing. I think that you exhibit the core values and make it easy to for us to be comfortable around here- knowing that you were in our shoes has helped a lot and really benefitted my experience here. I think out of all the full timers you get what we do and are able to push us to where you know we can be pushed which has really helped me out a lot.
As for my favorite SHM memory I would have to say the day I got to go with you, Vernita, and Todd to the film studio to see the FHM video get made. I honestly think that meeting our members/CEO/getting to go on a field trip without the other days made my entire month really. I remember going home that day and saying that I got to help record cuts, eat lunch with all my supervisors, watch interviews, everything.. Even our cab ride back with Larry was awesome to me- not many people my age can say they work or hang out with their CEO which was really awesome. I think that on that day things started clicking with hospital medicine and what SHM is really about. I’m glad that you were there and allowed me to have that experience because I will probably never forget it.
I’m sure that we will have plenty more learning things & time to hang out in the next month, but as for the last five THANK YOU!!
