ONE MORE WEEK!

One more week, one more week! While I am extremely excited and anxious to return back to Texas to be amongst my friends and family, I am also sad to be leaving Indiana. It is hard for me to find the appropriate words to adequately describe the absolutely wonderful summer that I have had thus far. From an awesome job, to making new friends and working with wonderful people, to learning and experiencing new Agriculture every single day, I would not trade the past 14 weeks for anything.

Before moving to Indiana, I was completely soooooo excited to be here and never even thought of any challenges that I could potentially face. After making my final intern presentation last week, I began to reflect on the summer that I have had. I moved here not knowing one single person, I had never been in a corn or soybean field in my life, and I was moving 1,024 miles away from home. I would be living in a hotel from exactly 100 nights in a city with over 1 million people. Add all of those things up together, and let’s just say I was ready to conquer the world in front of me! I even often wonder what in the world made me decide to make such a huge move such as this one. Am I glad I did it? ABSOLUTELY! I have never learned so much in my whole entire life, and I had a blast doing so!

Last week, I had the opportunity to present my final intern presentation at our National Sales Kickoff meeting in Downtown Indianapolis. With that said, I am confident that this one presentation consumed more of my time and efforts than any other college presentation I have ever given. Not only would I be presenting to a decent size group of people, I also was to create a sales-type booklet to give to everyone in my district that could be given to customers. Needless to say, I was pretty pleased with the end result, especially considering the amount of time I put into these two documents. In addition, I am also pleased to announce that I have been given the opportunity to interview with Dow AgroSciences for a full time position this coming Thursday and Friday! I could not be more excited or honored to have the opportunity to interview with this company that I have grown to love so much.

Not only have I learned a tremendous amount about myself and agriculture this summer, I have also gained some valuable hands-on sales experiences that I know will be of great benefit to me when I start my sales career following college graduation. I have learned what it takes to be successful in the sales field, and I no doubt have a greater appreciation for American farmers.

I am writing this post with exactly 7 days left in Indianapolis. This upcoming week is going to be an extremely packed week for me as I wrap up my internship, but this time next week and my feet will be back on Texas soil!

Blessings,
Macy
