Final Reflection

1) This past semester in this class, I had a bunch of highs and a few lows. When looking through my past blogs and where I started and how far I have gotten in this class, I am truly proud of myself. It was a long journey but I think it was a great experience and I have learned a lot about my career path. When it comes to my highs, the opportunity I had chosen provided me with them. I loved learning more about our ocean and how it is truly affected by pollution and I also enjoyed sharing this knowledge with people who are involved in it. I also enjoyed interviewing and meeting such wonderful people and gaining tips from them as well. Some low points for me were when I struggled to push myself through this class. I had a hard time procrastinating to get this work done but in the end, it was definitely worth it. I also struggled with telling my idea in a written form to others. I knew what I wanted to do but when it came down to it, I had a hard time explaining it. However, every struggle that I had always ended up making me stronger and I learned a lot from this experience. 

2) An experience that I had during this class that stood out to me the most was trying to figure out a bug list. For some reason, this was very hard for me and it was also the first assignment so I did not truly understand the concept of the reason behind doing it. After finding the perfect opportunity, the bug list was not so hard and that there are a lot of major issues and opportunities in this world that need to be fixed. The most joyous experience was when I got to interview a member of an organization that helps clean the beaches. I really enjoyed talking to him and listening to how much he truly knows and loves our oceans. There are a lot of good people I got to meet along this journey that really care about our planet and have good hearts and I am super lucky to have met them. 

3) Due to this experience and all the information gained from this class about Entrepreneurship, I definitely see myself as an entrepreneur and have learned a lot more about it. Due to the information given from the professor and also having to create a concept to start a career, I know the basics of what I want to do with my life and more about my career path. Before I joined this class, I did not know the true definition of an entrepreneur but now I understand the whole meaning behind it and how to become one. I definitely see myself as one and have moved towards that mindset to become successful. 

4) For the students about to partake in this class and follow this long journey, I would recommend to work ahead in this class and to pay lots of attention to the videos. Also, to pick a very unique opportunity so that in the future, you have less competition. I struggled most with competition so if that does happen to your fellow students, try to find or create things to make you different from them and make you stand out. Other than that, I think you guys will really enjoy this class and it was a great learning experience for me and my career.
