First of all, I really enjoyed the pizza. I ate many slices, which was a problem because I had already eaten dinner. The panel had a certain spark to them last night, which is greatly due to the fact that they were all related. It was quite amazing that each one of the women on our panel had opened and run their own business. One of the woman actually re-opened her father's business, but none the less. I appreciated that these women could tell us their entrepreneurial stories. I'm not sure I could ever open my own business, but I admire people that can. I think it takes a certain amount of confidence to put you and your business out into the world with no reassurance that our product will sell.
After words, I talked to one of the panelist's daughters about their crazy uncle. Then this conversation ended and I started talking to another panelist . We had an interesting conversation about gyrokinesis, which my dance teacher is one of the few people certified. It was a small world situation.
I'm really excited to meet my mentor next week. I hope her and I have similar personalities and we both benefit from this placement.
