WBL Internship: Natural Resources at BLM Uncomphagre Field Office

The Colorado Department of Education defines "Professional" using the following descriptors:

time & work management
career literacy
grit and resilience
work ethic; dependable and reliable

My definition of professionalism:

In my opinion, professionalism is your ability to complete a task efficiently and produce a product you are proud of. Taking pride in your work, attention to details, accountability and perseverance are the most important components of professionalism.

Future plan and career statement:

After Highschool I plan to attend Snow College in Ephraim, Utah to play softball. I'm not sure what i want to major in because I still don't know what I want to do for a career. If I go into a resource management career I want to work in wildfire prevention, but I'm also considering being an elementary school teacher .
