Although the entire purpose of going to college is to get an education, there\u2019s more to it than that. If you\u2019re more active on campus, it makes a difference. That\u2019s when your comfort level rises.

For example, if you really love the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/shop\/casart-katherine-collection\/quickie-on-the-beach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">beach<\/a>, then a room with ocean colors and pictures would make you the most comfortable like the one below.

I was with students in the DECA club and the entrepreneurship class at TC Williams. DECA is a marketing club that helps to prepare emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges around the globe. This past year I was vice president of the DECA chapter at my school and able to compete at the state and national level in the entrepreneurship promotion project.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Being in DECA and being a part of the entrepreneurship class has helped me open my mind and step out of my comfort zone. Before joining those two organizations, I was really reserved and not a very social person. However, now that I&#8217;ve been involved with these programs, I&#8217;m more comfortable in a new setting with new people and I enjoy networking with others. DECA and entrepreneurship have also influenced my career decisions. The organizations have a marketing aspect to them and inspired me to want to learn more about marketing in college and through this internship at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Casart Coverings.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I am excited to share my passions and past experiences with you and also my future plans. Without entrepreneurship and DECA, I would not have been interested in marketing and probably wouldn&#8217;t be interning at Casart Coverings. For those organizations, I am thankful for them and the experiences and for all wonderful people I&#8217;ve met.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px
