Milestones
My road in life has taken me all over.
My goal was to get a full ride to college, which created a sense of diligence and aspiration for me.
I made the decision to search for an internship to get an early start on my career.
I accepted and completed successful internships with a Fortune 500 Company.
I searched for a job offer in a respected corporate program prior to receiving my degree.
Experiencing a layoff from my first job exposed me to the potential hardships of a career.
Search diligently and network with professionals to help find another job.
I completed several temporary assignments and worked at jobs much different from my past experience.
Do not quit. Understand that tough situations are temporary, and learning perseverance usually wins.

Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for high school students
Meet people. Your peers studying in your field are going to be your most valuable resources. Setting the foundation for being exposed to the corporate environment and maintaining professionalism can be achieved through internships, training programs and being involved in organizations focused on professional development. In my specific role, it is useful to have a lot of general knowledge, essentially knowing a little of a lot of topics (geography, grammar, SEC rules, technology, etc.).
