My best work was a tie between the Bôhten Eyewear (Black entrepreneur) Infographic and the Manager Position job posting. The infographic showed I can research a real company and communicate a whole business model clearly and visually, while the Manager Position showed I truly understand business operations, leadership, and professional writing. Together they prove I can think like a business owner and present like a professional.

The Paper Airplane Production Challenge, by far. My group made the most planes and won the most flight races, earning us 2 bonus marks. It made operations, quality control, and profit feel real; and it was genuinely fun to compete and see our strategy pay off.

1) Leadership & teamwork; I learned how a 'lead-by-example' style builds momentum and pulls a whole team forward, even under tough constraints. 2) Problem-solving & adaptability; when teammates arrived late or supplies ran short, I learned to re-plan quickly and compromise. 3) Understanding markets; needs vs. wants and supply & demand taught me how pricing and customer decisions actually work.

Whether I start my own venture, work in management, or enter a skilled field like my dad's, these skills travel with me. Leadership helps me run a team, problem-solving helps me handle the unexpected, and understanding markets helps me make smart decisions about money, pricing, and customers.

Managing finances and risk. I can build, lead, and sell, but I want to get much stronger at budgeting, reading cash flow, and knowing when a risk is worth taking. That's the part that decides whether a good idea becomes a lasting business.

School builds my communication, teamwork, time management, and research skills every day. I can develop them actively by volunteering to lead group projects, asking for feedback, taking on real responsibilities, and treating each assignment like a deliverable for a real client.

An Operations or Business Manager. The Manager Position task showed me how much of that job is leadership, scheduling, inventory, quality, and customer experience; exactly the skills this course built. Food safety auditing (my dad's field) also uses the same communication, attention to detail, and standards-based thinking.

This course made business feel real instead of just theory. The hands-on challenges, the freedom to be creative, and the chance to connect my own family's story to what we learned made it one of my most memorable classes.
