Guest+Speakers

Guest Speaker: **Christy Warner** ﻿I enjoyed listening to this guest speaker because he was the mother of one of my friends, Jackson. I've known the lady before and she's a really sweet person and she loves to help out kids. She spoke about how it's important to build up your education so you can create your career. There was one line she said that stuck to me, "You don't have a career, you create one." She had worked with many companies and has had many jobs because she didn't know what exactly to be. She went from a Temp Job Agency to non-profit organizations to helping out in schools, teaching reading classes to Title 1 students and sometimes English Learners. She was a very funny lady and she seems really happy with her job, she doesn't even consider it a job. :)       Guest Speaker: **Peter Belanger**     This guest speaker was entertaining, I'm not going to lie. He kept me entertained and I actually did want to listen to him even though he works in one of the most hated industries. I really don't like picking up the phone to those kind of people because all they really want is money..maybe one or two of them are asking for you to complete an over-the-phone survey. I basically don't pick up the phone when it's an "866" "888" "800" area code.    Guest Speaker: **Eric Gardiner**   To be truthful, I really didn't enjoy this guest speaker because he was very "monotone" and boring. He kept saying "um.." and "uhh...." a lot. I guess he was just nervous or something but I just didn't find any interest in what he was talking about...maybe to other people he was interesting but not to me in my opinion. He also seemed like he really didn't want to be here because like what I stated before, he kind of just went through what he did in his job briefly. I also kind of started falling asleep. I would have enjoyed it more if he had an activity or something but he didn't have anything. The only thing that was funny was his iPhone ringtone... :D  Guest Speaker: **Luary [CUP CHECK] Lady**    This guest speaker was one really interesting because she talked about something that each and every one in the class was wondering about...Patents. Now I know she wasn't a professional speaker with much experience but overall her projected voice and her eye contact kept me entertained. I was amazed at how she created a product that was "professionally" made into something that was home-made, basically anyone could have made that. I don't have one, because I don't need one but I was amazed at how much you have to go through to get a patent for your product. I was amazed also at the fast that she was thinking proactively and getting signatures of all the people that helped her along the way. I wish her luck and I have faith that her product will go a long way and will profit very positively out of this.
