It’s the end of day 24 of phase two; it marks the middle of my classes and the creation of my business plan. I want the whole thing to end, but at the same time I’m going to be very sad when it does. I enjoy getting a ride from Jim McKinnon every morning and just having a conversation with another business person who understands. Sometimes it has been a bit frustrating with my colleagues, probably because of my age and gender, but it wasn’t until recently with Marketing classes that I have really shined. One person has definitely been more gracious and open since learning that I was a Front-End Developer.

This week is my last week to complete my business plan. On Thursday I have one on one’s with my Financial and Marketing teacher and on Monday I submit my rough draft to my business advisor; then a week after that I submit my six final copies and soon after I have my Community Review Committee presentation.

It’s only four weeks to go and already I have two networking stories that I am so proud of. My parents used to call me a “Klingon” since at parties I would always stay by their side and hated asking any strangers a question; even now I dislike ordering on the phone.

Friday I was walking with my Mum down the main drag and came across a new tea shop, it serves meals with nice pots of tea. A sign expressed that they were serving High Tea for Mother’s Day and without stopping to pause, I gave her my Starbucks (second of the day) and walked into and was able to sneak in due to a cancellation. After a five minute conversation, I talked to the two girls who are willing to put up my photos on their wall under commission and a place to show my business cards.

Today I was talking to a teacher about how impressed I was and she asked me if I would like to photograph a fundraiser her company was holding on Mother’s Day for Mothers, Daughters, and Sisters, called The Miracle of a Mother. I’m to help out and take photos of people and they will be offering the digital copy of the photos for $10 to go towards the fundraiser. I will also be submitting a free photo shoot towards their silent auction.

Score for Heather
