Personal Reflection
It has been a very uplifting and insightful last week in
B283. I really loved the segment in class
on Wednesday where everyone pitched their “big idea”. It was evident to me the impact this class
has had on everyone and their own prospective entrepreneurial venture. This class has taught me some great lessons
that I’m glad I’m learning now before I learn the hard way out in the real
world. I’ve always been a afraid of
taking risks my whole life. I now see
and am excited of the opportunity that lies within risks and the lessons that
can be learned from taking a plunge. I’m
not saying I’m going to take ridiculous risks but I now understand the
importance of calculated risks and the progress you’ll make personally, win,
lose, or draw.
