From Intern to CEO

Sometimes it's tough being an intern. Don't get me wrong--I couldn't be happier to have a summer job that is giving me experience that I can use in the future--but there are definitely days when I question the value of my work. Here's a picture of me and Shelby on one such day without anything to do:

Today is beginning to feel like one of those days as my time with the marketing company I work at begins to come to a close...then I stumbled across this article this morning: Internships teach you time management, how to work as a team, responsibility, and accountability. The world's top CEOs started somewhere--and many of them started as interns! So when I start feeling blue at work, I can think of Douglas McMillon, the CEO of Walmart, who backed his Honda into his bosses' car on his first day of work...if you can survive that and be successful, I most certainly can too! (Except I did back into the UPS truck in the parking lot last week...oops!)
