So, I really did not want to write this post because I knew as soon as I sat down and wrote my internship reflection, it would be almost time for me to leave the Swift Kick team. However, I want the two new interns to have just as awesome an experience as I did, so I guess it is time for me to write this and head out the door.
Now where do I begin? Being an intern for Swift Kick has taught me so many different wonderful things, from becoming tech savvy to writing in a catchy manner working for Swift Kick. It has been a wonderful experience. Even though I was a “virtual” intern, there was never a point that I did not feel a part of the team, which is something I feel only an organization like Swift Kick could achieve! I even got a cool nickname, DAK, during my 6 months here.
Now a few special team “SHOUT-OUTS” to some wonderful people who are doing wonderful things:
Jay: Thank you for always helping me with various tasks from daily jobs board post to creating different links for RAK day. There was nothing that you could not find the answer to, and if there was, you always put 100% into correcting the problem. Also, extra SHOUT OUT for carrying the tune to my birthday song in January!
Sabina: Your positive attitude brings so much to the team and could always put a smile on my face even if I was having a bad day. Thank you for answering my millions upon millions of questions, and never getting tired of answering them, either!
Melissa: I’m so very happy you became part of the Swift Kick team while I was an intern! There have been so many interesting quotes put on the quote board because of conversations that you and Sabina have that make me feel like I am in NYC with the team! Thank you for bringing a serious but humor-filled attitude to the team that allows everyone to be productive but still have tons of fun!
Tom: Thank you for pushing me to be my best and to always put 100% into the tasks I completed for Swift Kick! I also appreciate how you always took time out of your busy schedule to check in weekly with me regarding not only how I was doing with various Swift Kick tasks I was working on, but also how my life was going in general.
So guys, this is Dak saying see ya later! I’m specifically saying see ya later and not goodbye because I will see everyone soon! I’m hoping to see this wonderful Swift Kick team again during my future job in student affairs. Hopefully in the near future, I’ll be having the students I supervise participate in one of Swift Kick’s trainings!
Note to Dakota: It has been wonderful working with you! We will miss your sunshine and giggles. Thanks for always thinking we are funny when we might actually just be weird. Your hard work and dedication are much appreciated! – Sabs
