One of the first projects I partook in for my Entrepreneurship Marketing Finance class was a sales presentation regarding a specific city in Michigan. Students were to decide if they wanted to do the presentation alone, getting a mystery advantage, or have a partner. After pondering this, I chose to receive the advantage, and work alone, along with a handful of my peers. The advantage ended up being that we would be able to choose the city from an array of notecards with the names of famous cities in Michigan. In the end, I picked the city Petoskey Michigan. This vast city was new to me, but I decided the project would be more fun if I chose a city I was unfamiliar with. In addition, I was familiar with the history of the petoskey stone and hypothesised that this city had to be named after this stone. Others who worked with a partner had to blindly pick a card that had a city on it. Cities that were picked included Kalamazoo, Saugatuck, Charlevoix and South Haven. After choosing a city, students were told what they would need to know about that city to take on the role of a travel agent for our teacher, Mrs. Pechaitis. Mrs. Pechaitis gave us some information about her life, such as how she has two boys (ages 7 and 4) and a husband. Also, she shared that her family …show more content…
My peers, including myself, were dressed in a professional manner, an optional decision. This was a great addition to an assortment of wonderful presentations due to the fact that the LISD TV was an unexpected guest. Their mission is to teach students about the Television Industry while promoting the school district's message and assets through quality programming (LISD). They only recorded two of the groups. One of these was myself, and the other a group of two. This was a great opportunity for me to prove my presentation capabilities while getting a great confidence
Professionalism is especially key to me being at Arlitt where there are dozens of people that come throughout daily. I am representing myself as well as the university, the college of education, and the Early Childhood Education program. So I must put my best foot
We are all very rational, can compromise, and we all found a site we agreed would be interesting and full of information. We talked about Eastern Market, Ford’s Model-T plant, the Riverwalk, or Chene Park. All of these ideas were alright, but none of them stuck out to us. We ended up missing all the opportunities that we had to tour the Model-T plant, so we decided it was not a good option if we could not go inside and tour. We ruled out the Riverwalk because it is slightly newer and we wanted a topic that had more history. We all liked the Fisher building, it represented both City Beautiful and City Profitable, it had a rich history, and it was very close to
Forty seconds left until game time. Here we go again, versing one of our biggest rivals, Belleville West. As usual, I’m starting. Defense has always been my go to position and this year I’m playing right back. The air around us is cold, considering we aren’t quite in spring yet. Eleven of us disperse on to the field, all in blue, determined to win. The referee blows his whistle, piercing our ears, and twenty two pairs of feet stir into action. Our back line is staring at the ball move towards the goal when suddenly things turn around. Hurriedly we shift to the left, ensuring the ball is put to a stop. Hannah boots the ball up the long green field and we’re all hopeful. West is playing hard; aggressive is their style. They win possession. Back
The temperature dropped to a frigid ten degrees fahrenheit with a -15 degree wind chill factor in Title Town. The only thing easily seen in the fog was my teammate’s and the thousands of spectator’s breath hovering in the air like a ghost. The championship game was set to start in 15 minutes. My flag football team and I sat on the Green Bay Packers sideline because we won our final game. I eagerly watched my favorite wide receiver, Jordy Nelson, catch the football when suddenly Aaron Rodgers approached me and started talking to me. At first he just discussed the throwing technique that he uses because we were both quarterbacks, but when I told him that I threw for two touchdowns and ran for one he seemed surprised and asked for my autograph.
However, I did notice that there were a few faults in the presentation, one being a fault that I personally consider may have negatively impacted our presentation. It seems to me that I was not able to deliver the presentation to the best of my ability as I had let my nerves get the best of me when talking to the staff. The reason for this was that I was not comfortable with taking on the speaking role that I was given and that there were last minute changes made to my slides right before presenting. Bruner, (1996) stated that the learning process for staff relies on the “meaningful dialogue” that is presented by the presenters. In this case, I think that my speech was not strong enough to grab the audience’s attention, thus not being able to portray my message about what an Ofsted inspection is and what the results from an Ofsted inspection mean. Nevertheless, although I was not able to present to the quality that I had wished, the feedback received was reassuring that I had not done terribly bad. I was able to see myself grow as a presenter as I noticed that my
I remember the deep breath they took before spitting out the words that would leave a permanent scar implanted in my mind whenever the word move came up again.
Growing up in the city can be quite difficult in ways. I grew up in jersey city, a town that is diverse and home to extraordinary residents. Being ambitious and never quitting is something that my father thought me. Since a young age I loved engines and cars, my dad thought me all I know. Without what he thought me, the man that stands here today would not look like this. The other side is granted to myself. It is what pushes me every day to become stronger. I found myself lazy and fat at 285 pounds, I came to realization that is was time to change.
I haven’t always lived in Michigan. Before I moved here in in fifth grade, I lived in Tennessee, Florida, and Wisconsin. Because I have lived in many different places, I have experienced and learned many different things in many ways. In Florida, I had a pool and was 15 minutes from the beach, and thus lived a life of carefree swimming and outdoor time. When I moved to Wisconsin there was a stark change in how my days played out. Gone were the times of carefree swimming and shorts year-round, and in came the days of snow-shoveling, learning how to put on a jacket and boots, and waiting for the knock on my door in the morning to tell me that school was cancelled because of snow - this meant I got a full day to spend sledding with my brother.

I’ve always travelled. Beginning from when I was six years old, I’ve gone to at least one trip a year, whether it be just to my uncles in the states or a trip to Australia through winter. In 2017 I took a road trip through BC down to Portland, and back through Montana, to Maryland, Ontario, Las Vegas, Bangladesh and Australia, all within the year. Despite going to all these unfamiliar places, I would say staying in one’s home for too long feels stranger. I’m always going somewhere, always moving. Curiously, of all the new and exciting places I visited last year, my trip to Ontario, a place I lived for many years, made one of the most lasting impression.

Because this was a tourist environment, I didn’t know what to expect. However, I did know that the tour company’s primary customers were those of Chinese heritage. This was one of the main reasons I embarked on this journey, to give me the opportunity to engage with others of a different cultural background while enjoying what this trip had to offer. The only preconceived strategy was to take the tour, and allow myself to get to know them through idle conversation, that would hopefully evolve into a more meaningful
Everything seems like it’s falling out of place, it’s going too fast, and my mind is out of control. I think these thoughts as I lay on my new bed, in my new room, in this new house, in this new city, wondering how I got to this place. “My life was fine,” I say to myself, “I didn’t want to go.” Thinking back I wonder how my father felt as he came home to the house in Stockton, knowing his wife and kids left to San Diego to live a new life. Every time that thought comes to my mind, it feels as if I’m carrying a ten ton boulder around my heart; weighing me down with guilt. The thought is blocked out as I close my eyes, picturing my old room; I see the light brown walls again and the vacation pictures of the Florida and camping trip stapled to them. I can see the photo of me on the ice rink with my friends and the desk that I built with my own hands. I see my bed; it still has my checkered blue and green blanket on it! Across from the room stands my bulky gray television with its back facing the black curtain covered closet. My emotions run deep, sadness rages through my body with a wave of regret. As I open my eyes I see this new place in San Diego, one large black covered bed and a small wooden nightstand that sits next to a similar closet like in my old room. When I was told we would be moving to San Diego, I was silenced from the decision.
Next, we talked about her social development and how she only has social interaction with her mom and grandmother and is very secluded, they also never mentioned friends. Then we talked about her emotional development, and how she is in good health, she knows who she is, she knows her close family is and has developed close attachments with mom and grandma. Finally, we talked about how scary and dangerous it is for a young girl to walk through the woods to go to grandmother’s house. Also, she has the thought of her mom telling her to be careful in the woods because it could be
