Geek of the Week

(An unconventionally sweet and awesome honor!)

Brooke “L” Roes

Diligent in progress, accepting of defeats, highbrow in error insight. True life-long educational practices teachers hope to instill in their students, but intrinsically know are innate qualities. I hired ‘L’ to an internship as my personal assistant, offering her some experience into the career she wishes to one day attain (as a personal assistant). What I noticed was exceptional. ‘L’ is strikingly consistent in growth, largely because she asks questions of substance. Even more uncommon was her ownership of mistakes, academic or otherwise; no excuses or blame but acknowledgement. Totes Cray-Cray, but as my intern she even took ownership of my mistakes, which I felt quite benevolent of her. Defying the undesirable humanistic quality of falling into the same hole twice, moreover, solidified her Geek of the Week status. Once conscious of expectation and pitfall ‘L’ exercises a pragmatic approach towards accomplishment. So congrats to ‘L’ and her Geek of the Week status, but now she needs to get back to work...for me.
