As I reflect on the presentation that our group delivered at Gteic on Thursday, I am reminded of the month of preparation behind it.

Adventure Sports!
Today we had a really cool opportunity to go kayaking at the Downings Bay and hear from the owner of an adventure sports company. Very few of us in the group had been kayaking, and even fewer had been kayaking in water like in Downings Bay, but it was an amazing experience that we got…
Building a Brand
Today we had an amazing opportunity to visit with the Tyrconnell Tribune and McNutt’s of Downings and hear about their respective businesses.

I have accomplished tasks and assignments that are beyond the typical workload of an underclassman in college, let…
