Senior Shadow Reflection

For my senior shadow day I decided to shadow Joe Barsh at the rec center here in Williston. I wanted to learn how a rec center works and what somebody who works there does on a normal day. Doing my research paper helped me pick a career that I wanted to know more about. Although I did not research this career in my paper it was a career I wanted to know more about.

When I did my job shadow, I learned a lot about keeping a rec center going. The biggest thing was that they all have there own area of expertise. Barsh was the head of the rec staff and had a meeting with them at the beginning of the day to see what was going on. Then later that day he went to a bigger meeting with the heads of all the departments to share what everybody had going on in the next two weeks or so. This helps so everybody knows what’s available and how busy the arc will he that day.
