Idea Napkin 2

One of my biggest talents, I would say is my ability to read people psychologically as well as adaptability in a variety of situations. I would say that part of it can be classified under behavior analysis. As a result, I feel like I’m able to work with a variety of people in different learning and working environments. My work experiences would consist of mostly hospitality and customer service.  Currently, I work at a hotel as a front desk associate. And previously I worked as an electronics sales associate at Sears.  The position at sears, I would say taught me the most and allowed me to use my skills the best. While working there, I was paid on a commission based, in which I used various methods to be able to sell various electronic products.  Moreover, I am unsure of my current aspirations in the long run. I know the various options that are in place, but not a direction. I feel like this business would provide me with a lot of purpose and meaningful work because I would be impacting the lives of several young students.

The product I am offering to my customers would be essentially a tutoring/mentorship service that would focus on helping students in high school that need some extra help. The mentorship aspect would come in the form of providing students with college readiness skills such as cooking simple items, balancing your finances, applying for scholarships and other life skills. Additionally, the tutoring would serve to uplift and assist in areas where students are under the average level. The people that I would be offering this to would be primarily high school students in grades 9th-12th.  More importantly, what they would have in common is primarily the fact that there test scores are below average as well as not primarily college ready but are eager to be.

I think, they would care because, they realized that they need extra help but don’t necessarily have the means to get that extra help as some of their peers would. Additionally, they would be on the path to going to college, however don’t have much help or information. What sets me apart the most would be the fact that i was in that same situation while going through high school.  As a result, I joined various organizations to assist in bridging that gap for me and therefore have a variety of methods.

One of the things that I got from the feedback was the need for the actual system in place. As highlighted by  Kyle, the US is currently ranked 23rd in education. Moreover, he did mention the fact that essentially, people learn different ways so may be the test is not highlighting their true intelligence. Moreover, he did mention possibly implementing a hands on method. One way to enhance that would be through the mentorship the hands on. Moreover, I the teaching method would be more hands and exploring other cultural methods.
