30A - Final Reflection

2) What sticks out to you as the most formative experience? The experience that you'll remember years later? What was your most joyous experience? What experience are you most proud of yourself for accomplishing?


For me, the most formative experience was to force myself to look for opportunities near me. I think daily we think about things we don't like or ideas that might change a lot how we do things daily, but we never actually decide to do something about it. I'll remember how many times you have to practice an elevator pitch in order to make it perfect. This will also include regular presentations throughout my career, sometimes we think is good enough but we need a third eye witness with feedback so that they can tell us what they think you can improve.


I think the experience I am most proud of is the elevator pitch, I consider myself introverted so when I was imagining a crowd that I could talk to I tried to be as confident as I am when I'm surrounded by friends. Each Elevator Pitch helped me to improve my attitude about it.






3) At the beginning of the semester, I mentioned that I wanted each of you to develop an entrepreneurial mindset. Now, at the end, do you see yourself as an entrepreneur? Do you think you have moved closer to developing an entrepreneurial mindset?

I don't think of myself as an entrepreneur, but I think I understand where to start. A risk mindset and a drive for opportunities are needed, which I think I got that somewhat developed with the opportunities exercises.


4) What is the one recommendation you would make to the students who are going to journey down this path in the future? What would you recommend they do to perform best in this course? What would you recommend they do to foster that mindset?

I would recommend being prepared to have an open mindset if this is your first time touching the entrepreneur branch of business. Don't forget about cupcakes and assignments due dates, and watch the lectures. I am not a business major but I enjoyed exploring the entrepreneur mindset, you just have to want to learn in order to make it fun. This is why I recommend having that mindset, the things that you learned here could come up on your brain in the future.
