I learned a lot this summer. I learned more than just how to run a store. I learned the difficulties of being somebody's boss. I learned how absorbent I am of my surroundings and just how detrimental or beneficial that can be. I learned just how lucky I truly am. I learned that silliness has it's time and place. I learned what it was like to be genuinely disliked. I learned to tell people, "I appreciate you." I learned what a co-ed dorm would be like. I learned the value of respect. I learned that the words "I love you," can change your entire day. I learned how to find loop-holes in my day to find that person who would say those words to me. I learned humility and the importance thereof. I learned that friends love you no matter what.
