While being home in salem MA, for a weekend, i found myself in my usual favorite icecream place. Treadwells icecream is a family owned buisness which is famous for their 55 plus homemade icecream flavors. Not only is their icecream amazing everytime i have walked into this small but very enjoyable store i have been overwhelmed by the kindness of the workers. This day i happened to meet a girl a year older then me who had just graduated from UMASS AMHERST, with a degree in graphic design. Allie was the definition of personable and was eager to learn more about me finding out we had the same interests. Although Allie had graduated she was part time working at this icecream place in hopes she would soon find her dream job in the design firm. The advice that Allie had given me was to take charge and to never give up. Although she does not have a job in the field she wants she is still interviewing weekly and interning to keep her knowledge up to pace so future jobs can see her desire for it. She told me to take as much experience as you can get and to never let go of an internship or a job because in the long run its all worth it. Graduating on time is not what people look for its WHAT YOU DID to get there. I learned a lot from meeting this girl and it has made me view my options very differently as i approach my last semester at Hofstra.
