"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." – Maya Angelou These words echoed in my mind during the training week as I set my major goal: "To leave a lasting impact on the kids and staff I work with." As a Resident Director for the ETSU TRIO Upward Bound program, a federally funded initiative designed to support and prepare high school students for college, I embarked on this journey six weeks ago. Last week marked the end of my summer role, culminating in my evaluation. During the evaluation, my boss asked if I remembered the goals I had listed. The first goal I mentioned was leaving a positive impact on the people I meet—something I strive for in everything I do. Working with the kids over these six weeks has profoundly changed my perspective. One of my key takeaways is that kids often observe and emulate the actions of those they look up to. Lastly, a healthy work environment is one of the best things that can happen to you. Upward Bound gave me that healthy work environment.
