They say all good things come to an end, and my employment at Peterborough Environment City Trust is no exception.
I’ll soon be trading the green hat of the environmentalist for the mortarboard cap of the student, but I’ll be taking many lessons away from my time at PECT. Chief amongst these is a heightened awareness of my environmental impact– how small actions can amount to big changes such as waste stream management and buying locally sourced organic food. Hopefully I’ll be able to stick to these changes over the coming years! I’ll be studying Media at Peterborough University, with plans to branch off into the creative side of the industry such as Graphic Design and 3D Modelling after graduation. I’d love to work in the video game, movie or journalism industry, as I’ve studied Media before and really enjoyed it. Being the editor of a magazine or the creative brains behind a video games company would be fantastic, but I’m well aware my career path may land me somewhere entirely different.
But enough about the future – today is my final day at PECT! We just had a very tasty lunch for my send-off, with delicious butternut squash soup made by Janine (with crusty baguette to dip) and nachos, coleslaw, humus and beans provided by the team. Karen made us a hearty pudding to follow - pancakes served with crème fraiche and home-made rosehip syrup. I was also handed my going-away card which contains memorable photos and really cool messages. Thank you everyone!
I’ve had a great time at PECT and will keep in touch after I begin University. Since working here I’ve realised how much dedication has gone into making Peterborough the UK’s Environment Capital, and would like to think I helped it along the path in some ways. I’d also like to give a shout out to the Future Jobs Fund, a lovely bunch of people who gave me all the support I needed during my time here. Thanks everyone, it’s been brilliant and I’ve learned so much!
