For the past 3 years, Summer of Success has allowed me not only to develop as an employee, but as an

individual. My search for a job 3 years ago, may have ended my search for a

career. I am now seriously considering a job with the Forest Service, or at least

as a biologist. Biology is something that I vigorously enjoy. Thank you SOS

and everyone involved in making it possible.
