Final reflection

The experience that stuck with me most was definitely the secret sauce assignment. While I try to be as self-aware as I can, it really stuck with me how differently people (who I knew very well to boot) perceived me. I'm usually trying to spot my own flaws, and in the process I never really paid attention to what my strengths were- which is important, I know now! Everyone should know where their strengths are, and it isn't overindulgent to look into it.

I've definitely become more of an entrepreneur in practice because of this class. I'm definitely guilty of being over-analytical and putting off projects and ambitions because of it- but now I'll at least try to get a prototype out! No use overplanning and burning out.

My advice to someone entering this class would be to take it seriously. This has definitely been one of the most useful classes at UF I've taken so far, but you get out what you put in. It's easy to fake your venture info, but it only hurts you. When you're stressed by your other classes and the last thing you want to do is interview strangers, my advice is: Just do it. Make it a little easier, by sticking to a specific type of student, mutual friends, and even the internet community. But do it.

Have a happy finals week, holidays, and rest of your UF career guys. It's a shame almost all of you guys are online students, you seem really cool. I'll be looking out for your ventures in the future!!
