INTERNSHIP REFLECTION - JORDAN WADE
January 03, 2020
When I first heard about the potential to become a part of an organization that works with children and has a focus on sports/athletics, I was skeptical to say the least; after all, children’s literacy and athletics have no apparent correlation. However, the moment I walked through the doors of the 2nd & 7 office the connection between the two became obvious. Amy, Janet, Ryan and Stephanie wasted no time welcoming me in as a new part of the team and explaining to me the role of the nonprofit they’re all so passionate about within the Columbus community. Over my last 15 weeks here, I was responsible for connecting with and interviewing the various student-athletes that are involved with the program and getting their thoughts on everything from why they got involved with the program, to what kind of impact they believe the foundation is having in Columbus.
