My First Week

After attending the lunches we had prior to our first day of work I became extremely excited to start at SHM. I really appreciated how everyone was so friendly and welcoming. It was evident to me that everyone was eager to help us make this a beneficial learning experience. 

So far I think my first week has been going pretty well. I haven't encounter many problems yet because we have been becoming familiar with all the programs and projects that we will be working on during our time here. I think what has surprised me the most is the amount of responsibility I will be given. I can see that I will get to be involved in the projects going on as well as create projects of my own. I really appreciate SHM giving me this opportunity to take on these responsibilities because I will be able to have a hands on experience. I was also surprised by the amount of trust that everyone has in us. The fact that we are able to become so involved makes me a little nervous, but I am eager to get started and learn. (I was also pleasantly surprised by the amount of free food that we get!)

In the next six months I hope to gain a lot of insight and knowledge from the people I will be working with and the projects I will be working on. I have already begun to gain a lot of insight from my supervisors during our Personal 101's that we have daily. I want to enhance my marketing skills while I am here and apply the concepts that I have learned in classes. Because I am also a Finance major, I hope to incorporate that into my experience here as well.

I am so excited to get started and I think that I will have an amazing experience here at SHM!! It's a really great feeling to get up in the morning and be excited to go to work.
