Final Reflection

Going back and reflecting from this past semester with ENT3003, I would say the experience I'll remember is getting interviews for the venture concept. It would so strange or me to go out and just ask people if I could interview them, but I got much much better at it over the course of the semester. Definitely won't forget the initial awkwardness from the first round of interviews. This was also the most joyous thing I had to do, as interviewing people always presented new perspectives on the idea. Getting in touch with Collin from NS4L was really cool too. The experience Im most proud of doing is just doing what was asked of the course as a whole. It was a lot of fun (though annoying at times) and provided me with different experiences that I thoroughly enjoyed. If I had simply half-assed the course I would not be able to say the things I am saying now. Do I consider myself an Entrepreneur? Obviously on paper I am not, because I have not done anything in terms of business yet. However in my head I am an entrepreneur, always have been and always will be. I am constantly looking for opportunities to lead to success. A recommendation I have for students is to make sure that this is what they want. There will be lots of uncertainties and failure - I am saying this without having finished my freshman year of college. They are simple facts you have to accept if you wish to be an entrepreneur. For future students, simply do what is asked of you an take a genuine interest in the course. Take advantage of it. The A is easy to get, but the experience are only attainable if you reach out for them. To foster this mindset I would say just be excited to be in the course, it's not difficult, yet it can be one of the most interesting and eye opening course you take here at UF.
