July 2019 • Rexburg, ID

What I liked

I like that there are many different aspects that go into managing apartments. you have to learn to manage your time, be on top of problems that might occur or need fixing, learn how to communicate with people, and essentially run a business.

What I wish was different

I wish that I had been more prepared for the workload in the summer, and understanding how things would play out better in the semester. Had more training at first.

Advice

It is a good job if you want to learn how to better communicate with people and learn a variety of business skills.

What I liked

N/A

What I wish was different

I wish I hadn't gone back to Japan.

Advice

When you go to get a job, you have to make sure that the company is respectable. You also need to know that finding a new job is not easy. You can send out over 100 applications, and not hear back from any of the companies. Finding a job is a job in itself. Seriously research a company before you apply, and pretend to be confident in an interview even if you're not.

Nurse Assistant

July - August 2019 • Lagos, Lagos

What I liked

In my six weeks in Nigeria, I got to partner with Genesis House, a rehabilitation center in Lagos, Nigeria for girls and young women who are sexual abuse and sex trafficking survivors. There, I shadowed a psychiatric nurse who is responsible for monitoring the physical and mental health of each of the girls. I love everything about Genesis House, especially getting to hear all of the girls’ stories and learning more about sex trafficking. It was a learning experience that no other experience can compare to.

What I wish was different

I wish I had gotten to do more hands on, but I also understand that I won’t be able to until I’m an actual registered nurse.

Advice

It’s in Nigeria, so it’s a pretty far distance, but it’s definitely worth looking into! There are also many ways to donate.

Camp Counselor

June 2012 - July 2019 • Lafayette, LA

What I liked

The children are funny people. Seeing a change of shy students when the summer starts, to being bright and bold when the camp ends.

What I wish was different

I wish I didn't work as much. I work work here from 8-5:30, then work nights from 6-11pm and weekends. I didn't give my all to the kids because some days I would come exhausted.

Advice

If you do not like kids, do not work at a camp. Kids are hilarious, but the need to know/see some one cares for them. Not someone who is just there for a check.
