Other Points of Interest

• With out some of the courses we have taken in the
  college, I would have been a lot like other
  people out there not knowing what to do in
  certain situations. You dont think youll
  benefit from these courses, but you do one day or
  another.

Conclusion

• Ive made some friends, Ive probably lost some,
  but this work term was a big learning experience.
• No matter where you work, you may not realize it
  then, but later on you will realize what it is
  that youve taken in and learned from there.
