Finding Success in Vocation
Mary (Honey) Mathieu ’27
Summer is the perfect time for students to pursue their passions while continuing to tend to their wellbeing. Whether working, traveling to a new place, or volunteering for their favorite non-profit organization, students continue to develop their personal and vocational skills during the summer. Trinity encourages its students to continuously seek growth, even when school is not in session.
Trinity student Adriana Veliz ’27 is spending part of her summer working for Altar’d State, a company where she enjoys her work and feels empowered. Veliz says her favorite part of working is “being able to spend time with her coworkers, as every person who works there makes it a special place to be.” She knows everyone has a role to play as part of a team, which greatly influences the work experience. She is grateful to have found a place of work that brings her joy and fulfillment.
Through many of its initiatives, the College encourages students to find a work culture that supports work-life balance, allowing them to care for their wellbeing. Even with her work schedule, Veliz can still find time to invest in her friendships throughout the summer. This time spent further developing relationships with her co-workers and other friends has left Veliz feeling grateful for her working experience so far.
Veliz is passionate about her job at Altar’d State, as it allows her to grow in ways she had not thought were possible. She is grateful that she took the leap and applied for the job. When asked what advice she would give other students thinking about a new job, she said, “Go for it! Find a job you are passionate about, and keep an open mind. After all, you might end up meeting some very special people like I did.”
Like Veliz, students at Trinity are given the tools to be successful in the classroom and beyond, giving way to success and fulfilling vocations through initiatives like Wellbeing and Earn, Network, and Learn.
