“I never saw any of this coming. If you told me freshman year this is where I would be as a senior -- I would have laughed in your face. I’ve been really lucky to have this opportunity to build myself up, make an impact on @VentureOutVT and Tech, spread my passion for the outdoors, give it to other people and teach it to them with the hopes that they go out and spread it too.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s experiences like a trip to the Everglades and working on a two-year wildland fire crew in Montana that have helped the Challenge Course Supervisor, Will Kyle, get out as much as he’s put into his extracurricular experiences.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“It’s kind of funny because when I came into VO, backpacking was what I had a good amount of experience with and what I kind of wanted to work to become a trip leader in, but that kind of shifted when I went to the Everglades. My mindset shifted to wanting to learn new skills and experience new things, which is something I hadn’t done before.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“I have truly gotten pushed out of my comfort zone and encouraged to try new things. All of these things literally never would have happened without VO. I look at it now and realize that the time I spent working led to these opportunities and me improving my work ethic and getting to practice my leadership skills, which is very valuable.”
