Welp, I made it through week 1 and I think im ready to take on whatever is thrown at me over the next 6 months.(I think?)
Although we did meet everyone throughout the week in out Personal 101 time periods, I would just like to refresh your memory because I know everyone is ripping their own hair out preparing for next week.
I am the tall guy walking around the office being addressed as Tom, Thomas, Tom the Tower, Thomas the Train, etc... I am in my 3rd year, or known as a pre-junior, at Drexel in the Business College. My concentrations are currently Marketing and Finance, and I am taking a night class each term while on co-op in my attempt to lighten the load for me in my 5th and final year. I am on the crew team, but am taking the year off as i deal with a lower back injury that has bothered me since high school.
After coming out of a co-op experience that was more of an independent position, the first week I spent here at SHM already showed me how everyone is dependent on eachotherto complete their specific tasks. Everyone treats eachother like family (as stated on the M&M SHM Core Values, #4) and that is probably my most respected quality of the company. Even writing on this blog, where everyone in the office is able to view eachothers posts and keep in touch is such a great idea.
Overall, I had a great first week as one of the new MA's. I love all the camaraderie SHM sets forth, and this is going to be an exciting 6 months.

Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend, and see you all on Monday!

Tom
