Assignment
30A – Final Reflection
1.
The most formative
experience I had was the bug list. Up until then, I really kept to myself and
never paid any mind to what was going on around me, even the smallest of
things. When I did that assignment, it really opened my eyes to how much is
going on at one time, and it made me realize just how much I do notice within a
day and just choose to ignore.
2.
I will never
forget those interviews. All of them were so nerve-wracking to do because I don’t
normally reach out to people to talk to them out of the blue, let alone ask to
interview them for something. A lot of the time, I felt super awkward, but when
an interview went well, I gave myself a small pat on the back.
3.
My most joyous
experience is whenever I got good feedback from an assignment by my peers. As a
person who loves to write, receiving good feedback is one of the things that helps
me to keep writing, on top of my own determination. The experience I am most
proud of myself for accomplishing is all those interviews, since I am an
introvert at heart and don’t really like talking to strangers.
4.
To be honest, I
think I have moved closer to developing an entrepreneurial mindset more than I see
myself as an entrepreneur. I better understand how the mind of an entrepreneur works,
but I don’t know if I can see myself becoming one in the future. I haven’t
completely pushed away the possibility though.
5.
The one
recommendation I would make to the students who are going to journey down this
path in the future is to stay determined and to expect to do things that are way
out of your comfort zone, especially if you’re an introvert. This class
requires you to talk to people, get their ideas, and put yourself in their
shoes, which can be a lot if you’re not used to going out and talking to people.
6.
To perform their
best in this course, I would recommend they get good at managing their time. Doing
these assignments, especially when it’s an assignment that requires you to do interviews,
takes up a lot of your time. I would also recommend to not miss any of the assignments.
Missing one can do a lot to hurt you, as I have learned in this semester.
7.
To foster this
mindset, I recommend to tap into some hidden reserves of creativity that they
might not even know they have. Think out of the box and don’t be afraid of an
unconventional idea you may come up with, because that is the whole point of
this class. Don’t be scared to take risks, because playing it safe will not
give you the full experience this class offers.
Hey Kaitlyn,
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job with this final reflection. I definitely will remember the bug list forever and I cannot believe how hard that thing was to come up with. That list was definitely a hard one, and especially right in the front of the course! I think it is true for a future student to really enjoy and get everything out of this course that they must delve into the creative mindset. Great semester!
Kaitlyn,
ReplyDeleteFantastic job with this post as a synopsis for ENT3003 as a whole. I can see where you really took the "Entrepreneur in Me" part very seriously and you emulate the distinction between your mindset before and after this class; demonstrating the effects it's had on you personally.
Hi Kaitlyn!
ReplyDeleteI can really relate to you being uncomfortable during the interviews but I feel like it helped me grow and made me more equip to handle more uncomfortable situations in the future. I agree that this class can get you out of your comfort zone but I think it ends up being very beneficial. Overall, great job on this assignment!
Hi Kaitlyn,
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your final reflection post. The bug list was a very formative assignment. It forced me to be more aware of my surroundings. I relate to when you said the interviews were nerve-wracking. For me, it was also awkward talking to random people and asking them questions but I am also proud of myself for getting through it.
