Case Studies (*cue the thunder clap*)

As a part of our internship, 3 times over the course of this semester we have what's called "case studies." (*cue the thunder clap*)

Ok, they aren't that bad....maybe ;)

Basically, we have to tell each other where we really blew it. Report about a time we screwed up. And then, while we sit silently, everyone else critiques us; saying what we could have done better or differently.

It's quite a humbling process.

But's it's incredibly beneficial.

I make all kinds of mistakes - some of them minor - but some not so much. And the wonderful folks at Mountain who created this program expected I would make mistakes and are now forcing me to learn from them. It also teaches me a lot about myself - my last two case studies kind of dealt with the same problem.

Thank goodness I'm making these mistakes now in an environment that forces me to learn from them. Hopefully what I learn will stick.
