When I first started to work for E.E. Ward this summer I knew I was in for a great experience, but I did have one concern. Earlier this year I was offered a once in a lifetime opportunity to stay in London a couple weeks during the Olympics and attend a few events, but it would interfere with my responsibilities as an intern. After spending a couple months in dreamland imagining what it would be like walking around a city full of thousands of the most talented athletes in the world I realized it was time to get down to business with E.E. Ward especially because I knew my time would be cut short.
To my relief, the team was just as excited for me as I was and before they let me take a two week vacation they only asked that I bring back a couple of unbelievable stories for the office.
Below are a couple of my most favorite pictures from the trip!
I was introduced to one of the Olympic torch bearers and got an up-close look at one of the 8,000 torches used in the relay
I got to watch my favorite team (Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh, sand volleyball) compete at Horse Guard’s Parade
Took a couple days to take in the history of the city.
On my last day I ran into Ryan Lochte at a mall just outside of the Olympic Park. Amazing!
As my last blog post I especially want to thank Otto and Brian for giving me the chance to be a part of such a great company (also, for hiring me even after I explained my schedule predicament and managed to lose the intern flash-drive inside the intern printer).
Thanks for everything!
