Between multitasking at the front desk, flying until I feel like my arms are going to fall off, explaining our facility to customers, and feeling the burn in my legs while surfing the barrel, it is safe to say I have become both mentally and physically stronger since working here.
I have been able to stretch my capacity for problem solving, prioritizing actions and decision-making skills because of working here at SVNH and I think all front desk employees here would agree with this statement. These attributes are developed when there are customers to check in, photos to process and reservations to be made… all at the same time! Along with all these characteristics I have listed, comes teamwork. We are a team here at SVNH and this is such an important component to any company. I am thankful that I work for a company that truly values the meaning of cooperation and to have a job that implements skills that I will be able to use for the rest of my life.
This job has made me physically stronger by doing all of the activities that this place has to offer! I don’t think a lot of customers realize how much of a work out you can really achieve by flying, climbing the rock wall, and surfing or boogie boarding. I was walking up the stairs after flying recently and I noticed that my legs were very tired from being worked so hard in the tunnel! It was a good burn and I felt accomplished from doing a work out and having fun at the same time.
Surfing is a great form of cardio to get the heart rate up and I try to make use of it as often as possible. Surfing has also allowed me to feel comfortable with other sports that involve boards. For example, I went to the lake the other day and everyone was going to go wakeboarding. I haven’t tried wakeboarding in years but I managed to stay on the board and actually get a feel for turning and moving on the wake without a problem. I cannot wait to get out and try snowboarding this winter to see how much of a difference it will be since working at SVNH!
It is difficult to find a job that gives you as much as you put in! So, I am thankful that I work at a place that I feel improves my mental and physical capabilities.
