30A- Final Reflection

Reading through the blog posts that I have made this semester, I believe the fun moments that I had were the original idea making we had at the beginning of the semester where we tested our hypothesis and formulated our venture. I also had a lot of fun creating my elevator pitches because I love speaking and believed it was a great way to practice and formulate my idea better in a more casual way than a blog post. The moments that I did not enjoy I will be honest were the reading reflection and this may be the fact that I procrastinated and did not approach it in the proper mindset. I will also say the end of this semester was not as enjoyable and I ended up not completing some assignments. 

I believe the most formative experience was the interviews that I had throughout this semester not just with peers but with industry leaders and professionals. The things that I learned from them I will no doubt carry on for years to come into my career and life. The most joyous experience I would say was increasing my social capital as this experience at first seemed daunting but once I completed it, I was extremely excited for the connections that I had made.

At the end of this class, I do see myself as having an entrepreneurial mindset more so than at the beginning. Before this semester began, I had no idea on where to begin in terms of being an entrepreneur. After this class, I may not classify myself as one but I definitely have a mindset that I could build on into the future.

The one recommendation I would have for students going down this path would be to approach this course/venture as if it was real. Even if your idea is just to fulfill this class, the effort you put into it will no doubt show and be beneficial for you moving through the class. I would also say to move ahead through the course instead of weekly. I found myself towards the end of the semester struggling to get things completed by waiting every week.
