“I am on a vacation,” was my mentality as I traveled with my director, Nate, and my co-worker, Alan, to Beaver Island for a four-days company’s first ever retreat. \u00a0I felt honored and extremely grateful that they invited and allowed me to go on the first company’s retreat with them, even though I am only a summer UROP intern. \u00a0They both took me under their wings and took care of me extremely well. \u00a0They did all the hard work:\u00a0they took turns driving the five-hours traveling route, made amazing food, and played amazing music. \u00a0They were extremely patience with me as they introduced American culture, permaculture, and Beaver Island to me. \u00a0They included me in everything that they do and they made me feel like I am traveling with my family and friends. \u00a0They are the best boss and co-worker ever!<\/p>\n

(They look better than this, but this is my paparazzi shot of them).<\/p>\n

From my interactions with them, I am inspired to have a safe and positive working environment in my future career. \u00a0I love how I can communicate and have fun with my boss and co-worker. \u00a0They are always willing to help me and accept me for who I am. \u00a0They inspired me to desire for similar working environment when I entered the work force.<\/p>\n

Other than my lovely conversations and time with Nate and Alan, I love Beaver Island. \u00a0Beaver Island is so beautiful and relaxing–it made me return back to the pure old, good personal communications. \u00a0On the island, there is no Internet or signal so I was completely off my phone, facebook, and emails. \u00a0I had more time to enjoy the beautiful Lake Michigan, the wonderful landscapes of Beaver Island, the interactions I have with Nate and Alan, and the time to personally reflect. \u00a0I am extremely thankful for the time I spent there and I would love to travel back there in the future.<\/p>\n
