Recreation Area in Spring Valley ,

00:13.897 --> 00:15.897
a temporary park ranger for another

00:15.897 --> 00:17.786
organization . Being a facilities

00:17.786 --> 00:19.897
assistant for my local university and

00:19.897 --> 00:22.063
being a resident assistant manager for

00:22.063 --> 00:24.230
also my local university . My position

00:24.230 --> 00:26.008
entails creating a fun and safe

00:26.008 --> 00:28.175
recreation experience for the visiting

00:28.175 --> 00:28.139
public . During the winter , we measure

00:28.139 --> 00:30.417
the ice to make sure it's safe for use .

00:30.417 --> 00:32.583
We check on the people who are fishing

to make sure they are safe and within

00:34.695 --> 00:36.806
legal limits . We make sure the roads

00:36.806 --> 00:36.799
are safe for our recreational users ,

00:36.860 --> 00:38.860

00:38.860 --> 00:41.082
that they are safe for our recreational

00:43.138 --> 00:45.193
work . It gives me the freedom to be

00:45.193 --> 00:47.193
outside , but also a chance to grow

00:47.193 --> 00:49.193
professionally and personally . For
