4. Felt Experience
This summer, I worked in an operations management position at a transportation company, where I was in charge of COORDINATING and unifying the flow of processes from unloading and loading the tractor trailers. It was essential I got to know my people so I knew who would be best for each task. I had to constantly ASSOCIATE myself with the forklift drivers in order to stay interconnected with my team, build strong relationships, and be able to effectively manage. It takes a large amount of focus on ORGANIZATION in order to keep track of many trucks coming in and out of the facility and keep operations running smoothly.

I have been fortunate enough to have been provided many opportunities to ADVENTURE out of my regular realm of existence by being able to travel the world. On a trip to Austria and Germany, I had an interesting experience of ENCOUNTERING something I would never go out of my way to see: a concentration camp. The images I saw, the knowledge I gained, and the reality that set in that day is something that I saw as a major BREAKTHROUGH for my DEVELOPMENT as the person I am today. It helped me to look at the bigger picture, be critical of the world around me and ask questions that need to be asked.

11. Final Paragraph
This activity is unlike anything I’ve been tasked at doing before. It takes a level of inner reflection and deliberation that I found to be very intriguing. It makes us open our mind, look at the symbols the permeate our minds and consciousness everyday, dissect and restructure them in an attempt to expand our intellects and our collective breadth of knowledge. This unified, interconnected, collaborative approach is an interesting aggregate of a collective conscience and a unique diversion from the common path of learning.
