Work I have completed


This quarter I am completing work that is different than what I did last quarter.  What I am doing now feels more entrepreneurial in nature. In my group I volunteered to take on the role of a human resources representative.  As the representative in HR, I have learned how to use the Trello program to make our group more organized and efficient. I am working on the $200 project with Samantha.  My colleagues Dan and Jack are in charge of the Store Front project. In my current assignment I am ordering socks for the school Basketball Team.  We explored several different options for how to put the $200 towards a good cause, and ultimately chose to purchase the socks. When we were in the process of coming up with ideas, I remembered, as an entrepreneur must go through many failed attempts before they are successful.
I enjoyed researching and finding businesses to design socks for us. Once we order the socks, we plan to have the basketball team wear them at games to show support for the $200 project and our English class.
Working with a bigger team as opposed to only working with three people makes it easier to assign work. It also feels very different than being project manager. When I was project manager, I felt I was in charge and had to check up on people. I liked being the project manager, but it’s nice to have a different role with new responsibilities.
I am excited to see where the $200 project goes and if we can expand our socks idea beyond the basketball team, and to other sports teams.

  1. Sounds like the socks are a great idea. Get them ordered! I'd like to see you guys run with this, not just sell your initial investment. Once you get the first ones in, you'll be able to show them off and attract many more customers. Do not wait! Order!
