This past week has been a great finalization of all of the projects we are doing as a group. One of the most helpful days was when we practiced our presentation with Mr. Fischer and Ms. Stevens. We got a lot of great feedback on our slides and information that we are presenting. We also learned a lot about public speaking which has been great. I wish we could spend more time in class learning public speaking and presenting skills. I think having those skills will be extremely useful in whatever career I pursue. Being able to present information well is usually more important than the actual information I am presenting.
This week has also concluded our selling of the calendars. Overall, we sold a couple more calendars for a few dollars. In total, we made a profit of $54. With an initial investment of $200 from the class, I would say a 27% profit is not too shabby. I do wish that we had sold more, and although the class project is done, I still believe we can sell the rest by the end of the year.
I have had both my guidance counselor and dean both mention that they are coming to my presentation in two weeks. I am very excited to get some real feedback from professionals on our storefront project.
I, too, wish we had done more public speaking early on. We'll get to it during the second half of the year. I'm not sure about your 27% figure. Remember: you started with $200 + Kyle's money, right? Either way, your sales were pretty good.
