Throughout this semester I have packed my mind with great knowledge especially in the areas of economics, business management and as me as a learner. When the semester begun, I realized that my reading was not the finest and that I needed to improve that. I learned to appreciate reading and get engaged on it quicker; I am still in the process of “meeting the class expectations” but I consider that the development of this skill is being efficient. With this said, I started by reading the class book “The Lean Startup” and commenced reading entrepreneurship and administration articles and online magazines. I have just begun to read one of my favorite series, “The Rangers Apprentice”, just for fun in order to be more constant with my reading. Changing of subject, I never imagined that kick starting and developing a business could be so time consuming and challenging. I am aware that businesses are not only a simple product but they are more than what a customer perceives, there is a huge system behind every product. If a company wants to flourish, different branches have to be established such as marketing, product development, management and many others. The key is that all of these departments follow the company’s vision and trust it. This way a culture full of motivation, productiveness, happiness and trust will be developed. I have also learned that I am a good administrator through fieldwork. In BlendZ prototypes, I have been an active worker and have been active the whole sale and preparation period even though it wasn’t in my schedule. I felt motivated and found an area of work that really interested me as a future career. Through this discovery I am starting to get to know me a little better each day.
Learning is always happening in my life, especially in these days. I have been committing some mistakes, stupid ones, but reflection, acceptance and understandment made me work on this errors to be better in the future. I know that I have been learning, not only because I feel that I have more knowledge but also because I have been showing my comprehension constantly with my friends and family which was something that I never did before. I feel that I can talk about business with my father and understand the terms that he uses and share my thoughts with him. With friends inside and outside of school I am able to have serious conversations about the future, companies, etc. and not the typical informal teenager talk. The learning that I have developed especially through BlendZ has made me mature and have a clearer view of my future life.
In the IA most of the things that we do have a vision behind them making them valuable. If I were to reflect on the things that have impacted me and changed me through this semester I would say that developing BlendZ is the all time winner. BlendZ has complicated my life in a positive way. There is so many things to do, so much field work and theoretical work to learn that most of my school time and free time is given to it. I consider that BlendZ has brought value towards the IA and towards me as a student. Providing me with tools that I never thought of having and giving me the power to fully understand and develop a business from the bottom. I consider that a project like this has shaped me as a future entrepreneur or administrator and is giving me the opportunity that not many students in the world are able to have. I consider that this semester has been valuable and that it will continue to be as long as we have a clear vision, are always learning and most importantly are passionate and proud of our work.
