Grand
Valley State University
Allendale,
Michigan
I began college in the fall of 1999 at Grand Valley on a Presidential
Academic Scholarship and an Award of Excellence. In addition, I received
a state MEAP scholarship. In order to keep the university scholarships,
I am required to maintain at least a 3.5 GPA every semester for four years.
I have done this so far. Only two semesters to go!
Work
Experiences
Amoco
Portland,
Michigan
During High School, I worked at a local gas station. I enjoyed it because
I was in contact with so many people I knew each day. Once I moved
to college, I started a new job.
Geology
Department
Grand
Valley State University
As a freshman, I worked for one of my professors as a teacher's assistant.
I enjoyed the work, but the job ended when summer came and I moved back
home.
Portland
Federal Credit Union
Portland,
Michigan
The summer following my freshman year in college, I became a bank teller.
It was a wonderful experience, but I hated being cooped up inside all day.
The job wasn't challenging enough, and I found myself bored. However, I
stayed for the whole summer as I promised.
Hungry
Howie's Pizza
Allendale,
Michigan
During my sophomore and junior years at GVSU, I worked at a local pizza
place. It was a laid back atmosphere, and really a place for me to
unwind from the pressures of school. I enjoyed it and was made assistant
manager.
Moyer
Concrete Construction Company
Portland,
Michigan
During the summer of my sophomore and junior years, I was a concrete laborer.
This has been the best job I've ever had. I love the hard work and
being outside. The small crew that I work with has become like brothers
to me. I will work for them again in the summers to come.
Horrocks'
Farm Market
Kentwood,
Michigan
During my senior year, I have been working for a new Horrocks' Farm
Market. Over the summer, Moyer's and I poured all of the concrete outside
the new building. The owners of Horrocks admired my hard work and
my ethic and asked me to come work for them once school started again.
I have, and so far things have worked out well.
