A Young Surveyor’s Testimonial,
continued
contributed to becoming lackadaisical, because my
identity wasn’t attached to the outcome in any way
(except internally to the office). Now, my name is going
to be attached, and there’s no one higher up or lower
to shift blame or responsibility. I get to take responsi-
bility for my work, for my education, and for my role
in the public as well as the professional surveying
community. I have the power to make decisions on
what type of projects to accept and where, and who
I want to work with. So, I am now creating something
of my own, and it is taking on my personality. This is
a long game. It takes patience and dedication, but it
feels more rewarding than anything else that I have
ever done. When it comes down to it, I am where I am
because I’ve worked hard, but also because of all the
family, friends, and colleagues who have helped me
along the way. Here are a few in no particular order:
