So, today I had an interview for an on-campus position in our career services office at UTA.  I believe it went well enough, especially once I sat down and they asked me their first question:

“What are five adjectives that describe you?”

At first, I was at a loss…I’ve always had a hard time just describing myself, especially in just five words. But then I remembered, I have seven words (Hint: they’re the inspiration for the name of this blog) which I am supposed to aspire to. So I give off a slight chuckle, and say “Heh, I almost wish you had given me seven words” and name off the ones I most identify with.

So what does this really have to do with anything? Well, it made me realize something: This fraternity has not only helped me in a social aspect, but it has given me tangible life skills. Throughout that interview, I found myself citing experiences gained through Kappa Kappa Psi (In between telling them how my HS Economics teacher inspired me and why I would choose to be, of all animals, a laughing hyena). I found myself telling them about the time management skills I have earned here, that I have become a more responsible person and can now work better as part of a team because of these experiences. In one year of experience with KKPsi, I have earned so much.

So, I want to ask…what have you gained from being in the organization? For me, it’s been a strong network of friends and skills I will carry with me throughout my life. Perhaps it’s different for other people our there in the SWD.

AEA always,

Powers “Reptile” Bilodeau

PS – I’ll update later if I get the job :)

    I’ve gained a lot more than could possibly be described in this comment box. Most importantly I gained a second family; a group of brothers AND sisters who help me in times of need, give me the encouragement I need to keep going, and the opportunities to better myself. Not to mention they give me ways to give back to them and my community for helping make me who I am today.

    Great post, Powers!
