Mondamin, Outcome 5

-
In this first week at Camp Mondamin this year I’ve already had a radically different experience as I am a counselor-in-training (CT) now. I showed up a full weekend before the other campers along with the other CTs to finish out staff training with the summer’s counselors. It was strange being at camp and having my phone and being able to be out and about whenever I wanted. It felt absolutely alien to have more of a counselor’s outlook on camp and it certainly influenced my first week and will continue to influence me. I was able to demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively by working with my fellow CTs and counselors to teach and take care of campers.

I was also able to show commitment to and perseverance in a fieldwork experience in the moments where it felt like rehearsals were way too often and way too long by pushing through it.

Pennebaker, Outcome 6

-
In the past few months at Pennebaker I've taken up the project of researching private equity firms for Mr. Byrd. He and I have been interacting and making contact outside of school about exactly what the spreadsheets I've created entail: a list of employees, their contact information, the company's portfolio and its contents, and the company's contact information. I've learned a lot about the private equity world in Houston as well as nationally and maybe even somewhat internationally. These firms are a big part of innovation. They invest in and buy companies that they are interested in and that they see potential in before funding them and using them to push innovation forward. I think these private equity firms investing in energy, power, computers, and other innovative fields have really been set up to push the world forward. Take SpaceX. While not a private equity firm, it is a private company with the goal of putting humans into space and beyond. I was able to...
