What are the
behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of
this course?
This course has placed me in a different mindset, analyzing and developing opportunity belief was something out of the ordinary for me. Also, this course made them enjoyable, yet, uncomfortable because of how outside of my comfort zone it was; however, they were something that needed to be done.

Talk about a moment
or two when you felt like "giving up." What pulled you through? Do
you feel like you've developed a tenacious attitude during the past two months?
What experience or experiences most contributed to this?
The interviews were considerable tough to do, especially when your target audience are individuals outside your peer group. I was able to push through simply because of my extroverted attitude, which allowed me to push through these situations. Another difficult aspect is the consistency of the work. This presented itself to be a challenge because of my current work load; research, classes, applications for medical schools, and assisting/running the family business has all taken a toll on my time. The only reason I can push through is because this has become a norm, sleepless nights are just another night for me.

What are three tips you would offer next semester's student about (1) fostering the skills that support tenacity and (2) developing the 'tenacious mindset'?
If you are shy prepare to face your fears, but do not be afraid of the unknown. This will only make you better. Developing a business mindset, thinking innovatively, approaching unseen problems with a new perspective are all things you can expect to learn during your assignments. Secondly, make sure to watch the lecture videos and don’t expect a boring lecture. The professor is filled with energy, is extremely charismatic, and is passionate about his work which makes lectures enjoyable. Last but not least, make sure to do assignments ahead of time, I know, I know, we love to procrastinate but just try to be ahead of the game for once.
Hi Ceasar, I also agree with you on the most challenging part was the interaction with other people when doing interviews. It is especially challenging when the other party isn't as motivated as you for results and can give you fast answers because they just want to leave or are unmotivated. I like that you kept persevering despite that, it takes a lot more than people know.
