As I am nearing the end of my internship, I reflect on the range of skills and attributes my coworkers posses. Whether they are specialized or generalized in a subject, it is clear they are exceeding their expectations. There truly is a share of culture at BaM. However, school has spoiled me; after learning in an environment that encouraged me to be as creative as possible, I have found a special part of myself that I cannot let go. I mean to fulfill this desire for exploration and creativity to the best of my ability. I see a level of comfort in this job that I do not want to receive quite yet. I feel as if I do not want to ever stop forming my identity when it comes to my work. I am excited to explore my place in this creative field and feel like I may need to move to a larger community with more diversity, and a need to solve problems outside of my comfort level.
