My first week at work was one of the best experiences I have ever had.
It was really awesome and better than I expected. I thought I would have problems communicating with my mentors or other people in the company because English is not my first language. I have been in the US for less than a year. Surprisingly, not only has my English improved, but the staff is very empathetic and friendly. I felt like part of the team as soon as I got here, and that was awesome.
I am here for learning and improving my skills and I am sure that I will reach my goal. For that reason I want to thank to Youth Design’s staff and Continuum’s staff for letting me be part of this great program. I am not only learning about design; I’m also learning how to act in a professional environment, and that helps me to be better each day and fly high with my dream.
