Where I Learned Confidence



While I was trying out for the volleyball team I was a little nervous at first because I thought that the girls that were on the team where much bigger, faster, stonger, and overall better players than me so I felt that there was no point in trying out for the team. My dad was there to encourage me to do my best in everything that I do. He suggested that I try out anyway and I did. I then realized at the try out thats every girls there had their own weakness and that I was not the only one. I ended up making the team and have not regreted it since.


Another experience that I had was when I started in the retail business selling phones it was a new experience for me and I was not very good. Although over time I was able to get better at it with help from my co-workers and I learned some very valuable things while working there. It also taught me that unless someone really knows what they are talking about I do not have to really worry about being corrected and made to look like a fool.

First day of Entrepeneurship class

In my first day of class I have learned that no matter what life throws at you, it is always just best to make the situation the best that it can be. Also that entrepeneurship is one of the best ways to bring hope back into the economic situation and slightly improve the economy. We were also watched some very inspirational video clips about people overcoming trials and tribulations.

My favourite quote in life is "It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness"-chinese proverb. Hopefully tomorrow is just as fun.
