It's me again, Ximena the Intern! It's been a long month interning at San Diego Floral Design. It has been filled with the realizations of how crazy having your own floral shop is. It's not easy is an understatement. It is more than the pretty flowers that sit in a clear vase. What goes behind the scenes of creating that vase arrangement is more than putting random flowers in a vase. Interning at San Diego Floral Design has been a privilege, I've enjoyed every second of my time here. I've learned so much of what it actually means to own your own business. The fundamentals I have learned have been, . dedication and patience. Emphasize the word patience, Working alongside Fatima has taught me so much more than Floral Design., she has taught me how to be patient with costumers than are a little bit more difficult to work with. I cannot wait to apply everything I have learned here to the next chapter of my life which will be going into UCSC.
I really want to thank Fatima and her husband Matt for allowing me to be a part of their team, and trusting me enough to intern in their business. I will truly miss working alongside Fatima, she has taught me so much more than floral design she has taught me how to me an efficient individual overall, which I will forever be grateful. I cannot wait to see their business flourish even more, And may her and her husband never be too flowered out, as Fatima would say.
Sincerely,
Ximena Velasco
