PYCC, Outcome 5

-
Today was the first day of our kickoff retreat for our 2016-2017 PYCC year. I jumped back into my time with music team and worked on getting songs together for our youth rally. We are well on the way to being organized to perform in worship music at our meetings and conventions. Here at the outset, I am putting aside some of my own learning in order to help new people get adjusted. It’s interesting because I’ve had interactions with many of the new people both on music team and on PYCC in general. For example, two of our music team newcomers are a girl I’ve been best friends with all through high school and a girl that I’d grown up with at my church. However, even though I knew them in one way, getting to know them as compatriots is an entirely different experience. I’m already able to see how they work as a team, their preferences for music they don’t typically listen to, et cetera. I am truly loving getting to know new and old people on different levels. This is my second year on PYCC. I feel that, with a year of it already under my belt, I’ll really be able to help the new members adjust more fully to being on the council. One thought that does cross my mind: If I were to know someone from outside of PYCC after that someone and I both left PYCC, would I have the same experience in reverse? Here I demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively by showing that I understand and love my teammates and understand that music team is not an endeavor I can deal with alone.

Shrek, Outcomes 4 and 5

-
Today is one of the last days we have at HITS and it’s a really bittersweet experience for me. These are the last days I’ll ever spend as a student at HITS but I’m enjoying them. Shrek is a good send off. I was able to demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively in my final show at HITS by working hard with my castmates to make a beautiful work of art. I was also able to show commitment to and perseverance in a fieldwork experience in the moments where it felt like rehearsals were way too often and way too long by pushing through it.

Today was the closing night of my last show ever at HITS. It’s a really sad experience but it was also amazing to spend this last night with such a good cast. Shrek has been a great show for me to improve and be better as a person. I was able to demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively by making this last show with my castmates absolutely phenomenal.

Pennebaker, Outcome 6

-
In the past few months at Pennebaker I've taken up the project of researching private equity firms for Mr. Byrd. He and I have been interacting and making contact outside of school about exactly what the spreadsheets I've created entail: a list of employees, their contact information, the company's portfolio and its contents, and the company's contact information. I've learned a lot about the private equity world in Houston as well as nationally and maybe even somewhat internationally. These firms are a big part of innovation. They invest in and buy companies that they are interested in and that they see potential in before funding them and using them to push innovation forward. I think these private equity firms investing in energy, power, computers, and other innovative fields have really been set up to push the world forward. Take SpaceX. While not a private equity firm, it is a private company with the goal of putting humans into space and beyond. I was able to...
