Thank you for this experience
I can confidently say that this was the best way for me to prepare for my first year of college! A big appreciation to Jessica, Coach Neal and the Beat the Streets WorkIt program for taking me in and providing me with the skills and experiences I needed to succeed and develop. Working my position as the social media community manager has allowed me to develop many soft and hard skills such as teamwork and sufficiently using Canva. Working over the last 7 weeks showed me how hard work and dedication pays off. Jessica and Neal lead by example to show me that if you have a goal, taking on the challenge wholeheartedly will result in growth and positive outcomes. The continuous growth of Beat the Streets is a great example of this!
This opportunity has truly been a landmark in my journey of life that will not be forgotten. Something I really enjoyed was the opportunity to create workshops of our choice. I learned many helpful tips and new information to help me become a mindful and resilient person, both in work and in my daily life. Now, I have the tools to help me go above and beyond in future opportunities. Although I was faced with many personal challenges this summer, having an uplifting job to keep me busy has become a healthy coping method that I am so grateful for. This truly helped me learn a lot more about myself, my strengths and weaknesses, what methods work best for me, and how to stay calm in tough situations.

Overall, I am extremely grateful to have this experience. Thank you!
