Travel, fishing, spending time with family and friends.
After graduating, I took time off to reflect and take care of myself and my parents. I traveled to Australia to stay with friends, spent time fishing, snorkeling, and touring. It was a welcomed relief as my last year of school was very difficult for me because my older brother died unexpectedly in August and after graduating, I needed time to grieve. I learned the importance of not taking for granted the time we have with our family and friends. That year of travel was cathartic and I now feel I can give 100% to my career. Thank you for consideration of my application.
Sincerely,
Andrew Oster
