[0:03] Tee ball. [0:05] This is the best summer job I've ever had. [0:10] I wanted to become a seasonal member of Woodbury Parks and Rec [0:14] because I wanted to be outside all day. [0:17] And I wanted to work with the kids and introduce them [0:19] to new, fun activities like kayaking and fishing. [0:22] Some of these kids have never done it before, so [0:24] it's really fun to be able to teach them that [0:27] and watch them succeed in it too. [0:29] I like working with different kinds of people. [0:31] Just having that variety of like personalities. [0:33] Some of them are super shy. [0:35] Some of them are super like outgoing. [0:37] Some of them are like super focused. [0:40] And I just like that range. [0:42] This is my 10th summer. [0:43] I knew I wanted to do something working with kids, and I knew [0:47] working an inside job wasn't for me. [0:49] So this opportunity came [0:51] working with the kids in the community. [0:53] I love how they're always so engaged and ready. [0:56] Then also with working with tremendous staff members [0:59] who are really passionate about, [1:01] creating connections with kids and having memorable moments [1:04] with them. [1:04] This job is helping me prepare for a future in coaching. [1:08] I love being able to see these kids [1:10] thrive at these new activities, and also find passion [1:13] in different activities that they've never done before. [1:16] I'm a retired advertising executive [1:19] and this is kind of my fun second career. [1:21] And so I encourage anybody that has any aspirations about [1:25] sharing their knowledge about tennis [1:27] to get involved with Woodbury Tennis [1:29] and share their love of the sport [1:32] with all of the kids that are coming up. [1:34] Because tennis is one of those [1:35] sports that's multi-generational. [1:37] It's young to old. It is so fun. [1:40] I come to work every day with a smile on my face. [1:42] I leave work every day with a smile on my face. [1:44] I would 100% recommend the Parks and Rec department. [1:48] I think it's a great opportunity to meet really good people [1:51] and kind of have a meaningful job. [1:53] It also get you outside during the time [1:54] when you get a pretty good tan. [1:55] That's kind of a big perk of it also. [1:57] This is the only job you get a whistle. Trust.
