I know, it's hard to imagine me doing any kind of real work, and to be honest my first quarter job really didn't feel like work. It probably should be included in the fun section if we are going to be accurate about my experience. I worked as a student worker in the Event Management department of the athletics program, helping run sporting events for Football, Volleyball, and Soccer. This job reminded me how much I love the culture of sports, where teamwork, hardwork, integrity, and respect aren't just part of the culture of playing sports but also part of the culture of working in sports. People really work together and support each other so that things can run as smoothly as possible come gameday, and it was amazing to experience this first hand. When I needed help, no one yelled at me, no one got frustrated with me, as long as they could see that I was trying my best. Instead they supported me and tried to make sure that we as a team of workers could do the best job possible. I will definitely continue to work in sports at UW throughout my time here, and who knows, maybe I will end up pursuing a career in sports.
