The characteristic that I noticed in my mentor that I want to develop in myself is definitely self-motivation. Running a business out of your house, with three kids, there is so much room for distraction, yet my mentor was always on task. I know what my priorities are and I am constantly telling myself to do them but I often put them off for a later time. A quality that I noticed in Casey was that she was very outgoing, even though she told me she was shy at first. She was very nice to me and it was really fun working with her. She got her work done while still cracking jokes.
My view of life beyond high school changed during this time by showing me that I don't have to follow a strict path of school-work. I can explore my options to find something that I am really interested in and that will ultimately make me happy.
Interpersonal relationships at work reassured my understanding of life to be kind to everyone. It never hurts to be nice to people, except sometimes people may need a bit of a push to keep going but ultimately stay positive, ke and life will give that back
