    Working for the Binghamton Tennis Charities, I gained experiences working within the sports industry. The first part of my internship consisted of going out in the Binghamton area and trying to sell sponsorship packages to local businesses. This was much more difficult than I originally thought it was going to be. Since I am not from the Binghamton area, it made it even more challenging because I did not know the area and anyone who owned a business. I received a lot of no’s from people. However, I keep my head up, and preserved. I was even able to bring in a few new sponsors.

I continue the walk back to my building through Binghamton University’s beautifully maintained campus. I begin to take a deep breath but then I hold it in because I see…

    A book that strongly influenced me would be On Writing by Stephen King. Truthfully speaking, I initially picked up the book because of its title. I hated reading because it was always a requirement and rarely for leisure. I intended that by reading this book, it would improve my writing techniques. But, I was shaken by how much I enjoyed the book and the art of memoirs. I was awakened from my wrongful interpretations on reading and the craft of writing. I did not dislike reading, but it was the…
