Harvey Recovery, Outcome 6

-
In the past few days, I’ve helped by volunteering at the George R. Brown Convention and with the Boy Scouts. We took a ton of clothes and donations to the GRB shelter to drop off and then spent our afternoon sorting donations and helping people get settled. A few days later, we went with the Boy Scouts to help a woman in Bellaire with cleaning her totaled house out. We also went the next day to help another lady clean her totaled house out. Throughout these three experiences, I was able to demonstrate engagement with issues of global significance by understanding that people displaced by disasters are all over the world and that helping these displaced people is a part of a larger effort to help refugees and disaster victims all over the world.

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.

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...
