Important Experiences from Year 1

As a student, many of my experiences can be applied to a wide array of professional applications. I’m fortunate that many of the service activities I participate in are also great ways to develop important transferable skills. As a volunteer for my high school’s technology department, I learned a lot about computer troubleshooting. This skill is important in almost any field today as computers have become an inescapable part of modern life. Being able to fix problems without relying on others is an important skill that I value. I also gained experience using Microsoft Office products which have aided me immensely in the college environment. As a Boy Scout, I developed both my leadership skills teamwork skills, which are both majorly important in collegiate and professional settings. The WOW program has taught me a lot in only one year of being a member of the program. I have learned so much about working with young kids, teaching, and patience. Teaching and patience are transferable as in any supervisory role I can utilize these skills to effectively get things done. I am thankful for the opportunities I have had these last two semesters. It was interesting reflecting on my experiences of the past year while creating my first resume. I’ve certainly done a lot, more than I remembered. College has certainly been as transformative as everyone says. I look forward to starting back up next fall with my second year.
