Taking Stock of My Future Kieran de Brun, Business/Finance I anxiously arrived 15 minutes early on my first day at Dawnay Day, dressed in my freshly pressed suit and ready to embark on an extraordinary learning experience. Within minutes of being introduced to the trading floor, I witnessed the most remarkable work environment, with all the yelling in earnest and constant phone calls, yet with a noticeable ambience of humor to ease the stress. I immediately knew I was in the right place and buckled down to learn the ropes. Throughout the next few weeks my boss, Michael, became my idol, my teacher and, most of all, my friend. The bond I formed with my boss and my co-workers helped ease my transition into the office and built my confidence, allowing me to excel at my job. At the end of four unforgettable weeks, I had made wonderful new friends and found my future career. Most of all, I came to understand the passion of my mentors for their jobs, and they ignited that passion in me. They set an example of what it takes to be good at what you do. After this remarkable experience, I’m convinced that success comes from the pursuit of something you love, something you are passionate about, and something that gets you up every morning with a smile and enthusiasm, ready to tackle any challenge. |
