The 29th Olympic summer games began August 8th. I have been diligently watching every night to see every country’s best athletes compete to be the best in the world. These athletes are representing their country and sport with pride. They are competing to make their country proud. Is this the role, we as young federal employees try to play and portray in our respective agencies for the United States of America as well?
We work every day to try and play a role in helping our nation. Whether it is by saving taxpayer dollars, defending our homeland, conserving our wildlife, or developing cures for disease. We try to outdo what the last have done, better their strategies, craft new ideas, and be innovative in our way of thinking.
As young feds, we want to inspire those around us, colleagues, potential recruits, citizens, to see the rewarding benefits of representing your country as a government employee. It is just one of many ways to make a difference in our nation, even the world. We may not receive an Olympic medal for our work, but we still should identify with the athletes in that same sense of national pride.
So, are you going to be the Federal Government’s next “Michael Phelps”?
Mary Morrison, Social Committee Chair
