It's your turn! Ask me anything. 

You can ask me one question, three questions, whatever. 

I'll post my answers by Thursday...which means you have two days to post!

Have fun!

I think that what I am most proud of from my time here at SHM is just how much I've learned.  As a pre-junior, I have had plenty of classes, yet even combined they did not come close to the volume of information, techniques, and useful skills I've learned here.  I'm already planning out how to best put some of those skills to use in the upcoming terms, in order to continue improving them.  In addition, I am also proud of the roles I have played in a few of the initiatives around here, namely the QSR re-work with Jackie and Thu, the Word Plugin project with Todd and Thu, and the research I did for Higher Logic with Todd and Shawn.  Each one showed me something different, and exposed me to technologies and terminology that I had not been familiar with in the past.

Working at SHM these past few months have really made me a stronger and more intelligent person. I am proud of the person it has shaped me into. Since I've had the opportunity to work in a more professional environment here at SHM I feel it has made me mature a bit more. Being surrounded by older and more knowledgeable people each and everyday makes you step up and really bring yourself to their level so they know they can trust and rely on you. This makes you and has made me a stronger person. It also has made me take an interest in things I may not have had interest in before such as the election coming up. All the commotion around here with the health care laws made me look into everything a bit more and start to form my own opinions regarding our country, health care and so much more. All in all I feel most proud of the person I have become, stronger, more dedicated, and more mature, since working at SHM.

Proud

Again, working at SHM is a perfect opportunity for students who would want to learn real responsibility from the real work. I'm sure you know what I mean by "real" here since you probably hear from other co-ops about their boring and redundant tasks. The more I see how important the project is, the more I feel proud of myself when getting some accomplishments on it. I have been working on the QSR project with Jackie and Adam. It is a great experience for me because I have learned cross-function communication: bringing up and discussing ideas with department's leads and business owners. It is definitely something to me. I also do the AP Style Guide project with Adam, Todd, Ashley, Irisa, Brendon, and Shawn. Things went well and, as Todd noted, we contributed to change the game from now on: bringing SHM close to the perfection in writing :) So all that contribution make me feel great!

What I am most proud of during my time here is my growth as an employee and as a person. I didn't really know what to expect at my first real job, but I feel so much more prepared now to take on my next co-op than I ever could have believed I would. Working at SHM has helped me grow and develop my skills as well as add new ones that I know will be valuable to me for the rest of my life. I also think that being in such a great work environment has helped me grow as a person and be more comfortable with who I am. I am very lucky to be working here and I am going to continue to learn as much as I can.

During my time here at SHM I think that I have been able to learn a lot about myself. Through my projects I have been able to enhance my skills and abilities in several different areas. I think that I am most proud of my ability to take ownership of the projects assigned to me. In the beginning of this co-op and my previous co-op I was a little hesitant with my work. During my time here I think I have been able to take more initiative and own the work that I do. For example, working on the QSR project I have not only been able to enhance my collaboration and group project skills, but I was able to take initiative with my work by creating new reports and improving old reports with my group members. I was also really proud of our group’s effort when meeting with the business owners to present/propose our new formats.

Looking back

What are you most proud of during your time here at SHM?
