Creativity is my job by Sarah Denike

I love my job as a student ambassador, and that is saying alot for someone who has been in a number of jobs that she hasn't liked or haven't been able to stay in. I have done housekeeping, food service, and retail and I think none of them compare to this for many reasons.

When I first was asked what focus area I wanted to work in as a student ambassador social media stuck out to me for some reason. Now that I am more involved I know this is where I want to be. Many of my talents and interests have an outlet in this area.

Among these interests are my love of writing, interaction with people and photo/video production. One of my favorite moments was when I videotaped the newly renovated game room and asked some of my friend’s questions about what they liked and how the area had changed. It was cool to see how they began to further utilize this new facility on campus.

Unlike my other jobs, being a student ambassador allows me to be creative. In this job I have the flexibility to create and ask questions. Sometimes I can decide what I want to focus on for that day. For example, today I needed to update Corning’s face book status so I decided to go to the woods and take pictures of the cabin by the small pond there. This was followed by pictures of the pond and dense forest where a creek resides. I love the woods and I love photography. Never has a job coincided so much with my interests, let alone allowed me to participate in them on a regular basis.
