Chelsie Medley organized a performance for residents at Merrill Gardens assisted living home. She majored in communication and started a girl's ministry. Medley collected supplies, arranged performers, and introduced trivia games at the event. She reflected on her strong communication skills, ability to express ideas, and manage time well. Medley was offered a job that pays well with a short commute and works with her schedule, but she decided it was too time consuming, uninteresting, and stressful, so instead she plans to take a year off to work as an Emergency Medical Technician or Paramedic.
