Conquering with the ASRT

An experience I will never forget.

Conquering with the ASRT

I recently went to the annual Educational Symposium held by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists. The whole experience was eye opening and inspiring. Seeing how far the organization of the ASRT could reach made me want to reach for more as well. On the plane home, I felt moved by the passionate members and attendees of the symposium and the words began to flow.


I came. I saw. And I met so many people I want to be like. They're educated. They're educating, but most of all they're passionate about what they do. I'm talking about the professionals I met at the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) Education Symposium.

I came. I saw. And I woke up early. It was hard. It was long, but most of all it was rewarding. I'm taking about the variety of talks and meetings at the symposium.

I came. I saw. And I contemplated all the opportunities. There's military. There's professional writing, but most of all there's always the chance to improve. I'm talking about my future decision.

There's no shortcut to success, but there's three things that will definitely help.
Good people
Good work ethic
Good opportunities

With those three, we students of the 2017 Student Leadership Development Program are off to a running start.

It’s true and just plain natural for someone who is generally smiling all the time to come off as more trustworthy and I've gotten used to it. I used to think that having a Resting Bitch Face was only a bad thing until I realized that just like anything else, it also has its perks. Having a permafrown with a piercing look comes with great power.

Parks and Rec

We all know that Parks and Recreation is one of the greatest shows ever to air on TV. As we watched every episode, we all found a piece of us in each character (even Jerry). From the moment we met the pit, to the time we saw it flourish into a beautiful park, we all had developed a little bit of Pawnee, Indiana in our hearts.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.
