Final Reflection

For me, I feel like the most formative assignment this semester was the elevator pitch portion. That type of thing is so far out of my comfort zone and I've never really had to do anything like that before, so it was really a change and sticks out in my mind from all the other assignments. I feel like the most joyous experience were the reading reflections simply because I like to read, and the books I chose were also incredibly interesting to me. I love history and am always looking for ways to learn more about it, so those assignments for me were a personal enjoyment. The thing I will probably remember most years from now isn't necessarily one assignment, but the comments for all the assignments. Just the process of feedback to and from a network of students was different for me but in a good way and I'll remember it for a long time to come.
I feel like at the end of the semester I have developed more of an entrepreneurial mindset, however I still don't think I have quite what it takes to be an entrepreneur on a big level. I like to be able to jump around between a variety of different projects and I love creating something purely for the sake of the process and creating, rather than actually going through all the steps to get my creation to market.
The thing I would suggest to future students would have to be to look ahead and plan accordingly. Also my number one tip, if you don't like having assignments due on Friday nights, pretend they aren't. Do them by Thursday at the latest and you'll save yourself so much stress. To foster the entrepreneurial mindset, I'd say to believe in yourself and to never discount something because of its size. All ideas have value, it just takes the right person to come along and see it.

This is me at the end of the semester, and I'm so excited to be on the other side of this last week.
