It blows my mind to say that I’ve made it through my college years and am now a graduate, working in San Francisco. However, I couldn’t be more happy and grateful to be in the position that I’m in today. After making it through a scary period of time before heading into my final school year, I set my sights on making the most of my good fortune, working throughout the year on job applications and interviews. I’m extremely happy to say that I’ve ended up in a tremendous situation, taking a job for Walmart eCommerce this past spring. Working as a Category Specialist, I’ve been given the chance to manage a multi-million dollar business, being put in charge of selling wheels and rims on Walmart.com. Having aspects of finance, marketing, management, and more, this entrepreneurial job has given me the chance to garner experience in a diverse array of areas. Not only is my role an excellent learning experience, but it’s one that I genuinely enjoy. Working with a group of recent college graduates like myself, the office environment is fun and engaging, and one that I look forward to each day. I’m unbelievably excited for where my career will take me in the future, and I couldn’t be more happy with the start that it’s already gotten off to. It’s quite an objective statement to say that without MVYouth’s support I would not be in the wonderful situation I’m in today. Thank you so much for giving me the greatest opportunity of my entire life. I truly hope one day to be able to have such an impact on another kid’s future!
