I've had a few previous encounters with entrepreneurs, but there is one that stands out to me for numerous reasons. In my first year here at UF I was introduced to one of my good friend's roommates. He had already been working on his project, a carbon fiber fly fishing reel, for awhile. We had many conversations about how he made his connections, how he got his ideas, and how he put everything into action. When I was talking to him he was still in the prototype phase so I got to see how he was trying to get funding to further his project. This was the most meaningful confrontation for me because it was someone my age going through college so it was extremely cool to see how, even though it seems out of reach, I could still do something similar if I put in enough effort.
I enrolled in ENT 3003 for multiple reasons. Firstly, it is an elective for my major. However, I knew many people who have taken the class before me and they all recommended it because of the setup and how it challenges you in unconventional ways. I'm hoping to be able to strengthen my creativity and ability to think outside of the box because those have been two of my weaker points throughout my life.
