My Summer
by Natalie Legros , Summer Inter

              Working at The Carter Burden Center this summer was excellent! I had such a good time for several reasons. During my 6 weeks there, I was doing work that I didn’t expect to do. When I first found out where I would be working, I had an idea of some of the things I would be doing since I did community service there before during my freshman year of high school, so I was really excited. But I didn’t just do meals on heels, which is one thing that I loved about my job. I wasn’t just working on one thing the whole time I was there, but I was doing different things back and forth from the luncheon club and the office, and I didn’t dislike any of those tasks. I enjoyed delivering and serving meals, teaching computer classes, doing the friendly visits, the mailing, Chuck’s book, the organic project, and the other assignments that were there to help out with.  Another thing I liked about my experience this summer was meeting a bunch of wonderful people. I was glad to have such nice people who made me feel welcome and comfortable during my time there. I was ecstatic for the fact that they could help me if I needed any help with anything and explain stuff to me so I can do my work right. Everyone at the center were a huge help (if they weren’t there, then I probably would’ve felt confused). The kind of community that the Carter Burden Center has is wonderful. I loved working at The Carter Burden Center this summer, and I even miss the experience. It taught me a lot about how it is to have a job, that type in particular. I would love to work there again!!
