As I continue my pursuit of a bachelor’s degree in public administration, I can only wonder where I would be without my experience here in the City of Flags. It is very apparent when I sit in class how much more knowledge I have gained from my colleagues and my experiences while employed here. I sometimes get dirty looks from fellow students because I know the answer when no one else does but I have a more opportunities to learn then most.
For instance, I have learned from real life experiences while working with citizens as the Code Enforcement Officer and even a laborer in the DPW. There are many knowledgeable professionals leading this City and residents should be very proud of their accomplishments. I am very lucky that these people are willing to share their knowledge with me so that I may learn what they know.
I have found that I am truly growing as I continue my secondary education. One day I will lead a City or Village or Township; you never know which it will be. I will always be able to reflect on my experiences here in Davison. I am very thankful that I have had the opportunity to continue to learn. I use to think high school was enough but I now know it’s not enough to succeed in today’s world.
