Julia and Jake were amazing employers to work for. They offered me many task that challenged my strengths and allowed me to attempt my own approach and ask questions only after struggling to find a solution. While talking with my boss, Jake Budler, he told me, \u201cYou have to find out what you like about business because everything is a business.\u201d This really helped me narrow down my career path and choose what direction I would like to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bookstore helped me form a stronger understanding of my Clifton Strength with the store being so inclusive. Including others really helps me feel like I can have a more direct influence on someone\u2019s life. Another strength I got to improve while working at my internship was using context within my research. This allowed me to make sure I had the correct information when searching for past book industry statistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bookstore helped me face many mental and physical obstacles that made me comfortable with being uncomfortable. My fear of cats is no longer because of the store cat, Sweet Potato, who was honestly a sweetheart. This grew me deeper into the bookstore culture because I feel like every good bookstore has a pet cat. Additionally, as an intern, I got stuck with the tedious task of stamping bags, registering books, shelving, and of course taking out the trash. To say the least now, I am no match for a tedious task, as my boss and I have scanned every book in the store to take inventory. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/summerinternships\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/image-5.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"611\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/summerinternships\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4620\" style=\"width:292px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/summerinternships\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/image-5.png 611w, https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/summerinternships\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/image-5-238x300.png 238w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 611px) 100vw, 611px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I would like to thank my bosses Jake and Julie Budler, for offering me endless opportunity for growth.
