Justin Flemming's Linkedin Analytics

The great basketball legend Kobe Bryant once said, "The magic in life is finding what it is you love. When you find that love then life makes sense". For him, it was basketball and for me it's my passion and desire to learn and grow my financial acumen. This mentality only works if you're willing to put in all the hard work, be extremely self-motivated, and always be willing to learn. I know that I possess these traits and would be a great asset to any organization. I work hard at everything I do because I know that nothing is given, it is earned. Growing up, I was heavily involved in sports such as soccer and basketball. I learned valuable skills such as always working hard to achieve my goals. Another valuable skill I learned from sports was to control my mentality. My experience in sports and life have shown me that stepping out of my comfort zone is essential for growth. An example of this in my life include studying late into the night instead of watching the big football game with my friends. Another example includes one of the toughest sacrifices everyone faces. Waking up early each day and working out instead of sleeping in. Both choices require motivation but what is more important is the discipline it takes to do the uncomfortable to grow as a person. I take this mentality into everything I do, especially in the work environment. This past summer, I completed a fantastic internship with Mid Penn Bank as a Financial Center Associate. Throughout the summer I was providing financial solutions to customers while working in a fast-paced environment. This internship created new learning experiences for me. I grew my customer service skills, while at the same time developing my financial and banking knowledge. To do this, I had to have a positive attitude and a strong work ethic each day. Each day is an opportunity to learn new things and grow. I am confident that after this internship as well as all my other previous life experiences, I would be a great asset to any organization.
