Today we went on a Field Trip to REI's flagship store in Seattle. I drove one of the student vans and transported 12 people including myself to downtown and back.
Not only is a 12 passenger van huge, but they didn't build the parking garage for long vehicles like the one I was driving. We barely got in through the narrow entrances, and the turns to go up the levels were really narrow with cars and poles in the way. We finally parked and when I got out of the van I felt emotionally exhausted.
As the presentation about REI's human resources frame ended (did you know they give full benefits to part-time employees?!) I ran to the restroom and was not gone for more than 2 minutes. The group managed to leave and I was lost for a good 10 minutes in the store. I missed the tour of the warehouse and when I finally found and joined the group.....no one noticed I was missing. But its okay, I had the key to the van :)
Oh and I'm also looking into Teach for America when I graduate....we'll see :)
Hi Marcy, if you are interested in Teach for America I know the women who manages the recruitment of amazing students like yourself. Let me know if you are interested.
