Chapter 5: The Descent
Prepare for landing
It’s time to buckle up because we’re finally preparing for landing. It’s hard to believe our time with Launchpad is nearly over. It hasn’t been smooth skies for our whole journey but luckily we’ve had some amazing copilots to assist us throughout our journey.
All of us want to take a little time to give shoutouts to our OUTSTANDING mentors that stood beside us through all of the ups and downs.
“Throughout my six weeks at HLK, Taylor went above and beyond to ensure I got the most out of my experience. Whether it be her daily check-ins, setting up one-on-one meetings for me to learn more about other departments or even inviting me to go get lunch with her team, she truly went the extra mile. I am so grateful for her mentorship and look forward to maintaining close contact beyond the Launchpad program.”
“Laura has been the best mentor I could’ve asked for! I’m so thankful for her intentionality and continuous feedback. She has been so helpful every step of the way and has consistently made herself available. This internship has been such a great experience, and Laura is a big part of why I say that!
”
“Alex has been so welcoming to me and made my experience at HLK so valuable. His advice was always helpful for our team’s success and very much appreciated!”
“Bill has been so helpful and welcoming to me and is always willing to make time in his busy schedule. He is incredibly talented and I’ve grown so much as a designer and have learned SO much from him. I’m so grateful for how much he has invested in me over the past few weeks and I always leave our meetings smiling from his fun personality. Thanks Bill!!”
“These are some highlights about my mentor: Kristen is enthusiastic and is constantly willing to help. She is creative and always has excellent feedback. Kristen is passionate about HLK and has adjusted quickly to her new role.”
“As the copywriter intern, you really need somebody to check your work. Nicole has been a super supportive and wonderful mentor through my HLK journey. She has really helped me on my creative journey so far!”
“I could say so many awesome things about my mentor Tia! Tia has been part of the reason HLK has truly felt so welcoming in the last six weeks. She is always willing to walk me through career paths, day to day, or look over and talk about anything I need help with. I feel much more confident in my abilities in media and going into the industry with her guidance; Tia is the true definition of a mentor.”
We can’t thank our mentors enough for the time and consideration they invested in us these past six weeks. You guys are the best!
Thank you!
