My Entrepreneurial Experience

WOW, the semester is over. I have learned so much in this class. In my last blog, we were asked to give out "last lecture". If I had one final lecture to share with a group, it would be the following. We must decided early on what kind of person you want to be. What do you want your code of conduct to be? What moral compass will you use? And finally, "Who am I" and "Who do I want to become." Two very important questions that we should ask ourselves on a regular basis.

This week we spoke a lot about being a lifelong learner. There are so many benefits and blessing that we have from being a lifelong learner.

It was a super crazy week for me. Not only did I have all my assignments from this class, but I had a presentation to put together and I worked almost 50 or more hours.. I am beat.  There was a lot of great information that came out of the readings/videos this week.

At this point all of the people he had given loans to had already paid them back i full. So he went from village to village helping the poor. But the bank did not want to take that into acco...
