"My experience at CWEE has prepared me for my future in many ways. I've learned a lot about my potentia l and how to face my fears of public speaking. After months of working on strengths and researching my dream job, I found an internship in event planning. I'll be working for Community Shares as their event planning intern for 8 weeks. During this time, I will be researching venues, looking for best ideas for problems that arise and planning a 30th Anniversary for the company. I'm very excited for this opportunity and look forward to using all of the skills I've gained at CWEE to further my career as an Event Planner." -April Garza |
