The Final Lap
Today is my final day with Make A Wish. After I finish writing this, I’ll be cleaning out my desk. This week I did a lot of small projects, including running the same cost analysis for 2014-2015 but breaking it … Continue reading
What am I worth?
Much like all of my past summer jobs, this internship came with the understanding that my salary was already pre-negotiated. I’ve always considered myself a pretty mission-driven rather than money-driven person, so my past work experience has usually involved either … Continue reading
Large Groups Making a Difference
It is hard to believe that I am in week ten of ten of my summer fellowship with the Columbus Early Learning Centers. Although the fact that I will be continuing as a part-time volunteer coordinator might be contributing to … Continue reading
Notes from last week
Last week I developed a sustainability plan so that Actors’ Theatre can survey audience members next summer during their performances at Schiller Park. I’ve recommended some changes to the way we tracked our data this summer, and tried to create … Continue reading
The Sun Goes Down on Summer
It’s a bittersweet feeling when an opportunity like this concludes (excluding the few people who will be continuing with their organization). When starting out at a fellowship or internship you begin full of possibilities and it seems like you have all the … Continue reading
What It’s All About
One of my many jobs at Habitat For Humanity MidOhio this Summer has been converting all of the old news clips where Habitat was featured onto our newly founded Vimeo page. Yes, this task was rather long and taxing, but … Continue reading
Why it Matters…
Yesterday, President Obama released his new climate plan — one that the New York Times describes as “tough, [but] achievable”. The President, who turns 54 today (HAPPY BIRTHDAY BARRY O!), outlined his plan to crack down on carbon dioxide pollution … Continue reading
9 Weeks In
Nine weeks of the summer fellowship is in the books. One week left. Where did the summer go? In hindsight, it has been a productive, didactic, albeit short, experience with the Vineyard Community Center. In this penultimate work week, I … Continue reading
Almost the Last Week!
Monday, I started off the day buying and preparing supplies for our outreach visits for the last two weeks. It’s crazy to think about how quickly these eight weeks have flown by and I’m already on my ninth week! Laura … Continue reading
The wheels on the bus
While I absolutely love the time I spend at ECDI, one of my favorite parts of the day is my afternoon commute home on the bus. At 4:24 every day I catch the #9 bus, a route that winds its … Continue reading
