Elachee just recently hosted the Trillium Trek, which assisted them fundraise as a non-profit. I was able to help prepare that project for many weeks in advance and see it executed on race day, which was a proud accomplishment for me! I have become part of a team rather that a naive student, and this was the first event where I could show that.
2. What setbacks have you experienced? What did you learn from those setbacks?
No matter what I do, I am still set back because I am a volunteer, or a non paid worker, at Elachee. Ive learned that I can learn from my mentors, but when push comes to shove, they are the ones that are trained to do their jobs, and have years of experience under their belt, and that is why I am learning from them, and not the other way around. In whatever i end up doing as a career, i look forward to being skilled and at the top of my field, rather than at the bottom like most young people are.
