My Last STA Blog Post Ever

I applied for this job because I got rejected for a calculus tutor position and I’ve never been more glad to get rejected for anything. Being an STA was the most perfect job that I could’ve found as a college student. I’ve grown so much during my time here in ways that I would’ve never imagined; not only in my technical skills but social too, like organization, leadership and communication. There are many things I like about this job, the people, the nature of the work, the flexibility; but more than anything I like that the people here care about you and want to help you improve. There are also a lot of things that I will regret, not finishing my last project, not being able to attend more STA meetings. All in all, I just hope that I left a good mark in this place. I’m starting a new job at Amazon in August, and I’m taking all the skills I learned here to help me succeed there too. Hopefully, I’ll be able to come back in a couple of years and help others find success too.
