Ashley Ashworth Throughout the week we talked about some of the ways to prepare for the Trade Fair. The Trade Fair is coming up next week November 23-25 and we want to be well organized. We have reviewed some of the things that were done last year such as the booth, how they were dressed, what was done to make sales, and how those things were done. In doing so we witnessed some of the best booths and some of the items they used to create their booth. We also talked about how we as a team can be a contribute and hopefully with every students help we can create a very unique and entertaining booth. In addition to our booth setup, we also talked about what we can bring for ourselves so that we individually are ready for what’s to come. I hope to have a good time and I hope that as we are attending the Trade Fair that it will be a great learning experience. In conclusion I am very excited to go and see what the others schools have done to prepare. I’m also happy to meet other students and discuss the different things they do in their company and how they are taught in their Virtual Enterprise class about the business aspects.

Through out the week we have worked on creating a power point presentation for our business plan comptition. Today we went to a verizon buliding to compete with 7 other firms in which we were all nervous about. We didnt really practice what we were going to say today because we tried to relax and not over think what we were going to do but when we were on our way there we had some what of a discussion about it. Then we preceeded on to the holding room where we sat and were all nervous and we talked and made fun of sam for breaking his button i had to move around because i was so nervous but then as we were called upon to do our presentation the nerves worsend. When they introduced themselves i began to feel more comfortable but i was still nervous. I did better than i predicted to do which was a learning expiernce for me that not everything is as bad as it seems. As for a whole we could have did better and been more aware of the questions we were answering but overall we each learned on how to improve and what we need to grow on. After we did the presentation we all had are venting moments then when moved on shared laughs and made it a great expiernce. Theres a lot more i can say but not enough time right now.
