After an amazing trip to Ottawa this weekend, our final Monday at Queen’s University was a relaxing but bittersweet one. We woke up to one of the first rainy days in Kingston, after almost a month of scorching hot 40 degree weather. The morning started off with two very interesting lectures about Entrepreneurship Policies and the Ministry of Transportation.
After lunch, the Shads split off into our final workshops of the month. They ranged from CPR to Lululemon vision boards and bridge building; there was something for everyone to do. Although we were all exhausted out of our minds, with only four days left in the program, we were desperate to spend every last minute together.
The Shads ended the day with feedback from the staff on our Shad Cup projects and a final vote for the winning team. From tears of sorrow to rushes of excitement, the room was filled mixed emotions. We knew we’d finally accomplished something we were proud of and we did it as a family.
