good morning Valerie thank you so much for taking the time to share some of your experience with CTE courses here at Holly High School so tell me what CTE courses have you taken I have taken customer service small business owners with an some so can you describe your experience in each of these classes  each of these classes have the difference outlook on things so Virtual Enterprise actually is the past I'd be done with and who's bringing because we don't use Aleve take notes or we do but we have discussions about  good things for learning not only do look for the buck and take your notes on the highlighted words we actually discussed what it is we need to be there Nina what it is we have to talk about  fast food  is no business ownership and management we discuss about how it impacts how small decisions impact your business and in customer service we talk how small  how you talk to the customer is actually very important because anything can you no make or break you can can you tell us a little bit about some of the experiences specific experiences that you had in each of the are you can just simply pick one and share that information with us felt like I had an idea and in the beginning of media I began thank you know what maybe this isn't a good idea because there was risk involved and I learn soft and I also learned that  you have to take that risk in order to relieve  still like you have you know and to be successful you can't just be in the safe Zone  naughty these courses are going to impact you and your future career I felt like I was just going into like a pelican so and I basically was because they were these ideas that it's business so I had no idea that I wanted to actually go on with any of these classes but I did I realize that I really really want to  be in Bethany I want to be a business operations manager and it's because a Virtual Enterprise I have that has helped me understand that is what I want to do about seahorses is the the discussions we had as you know we didn't really take books by the bus like I said earlier  make it really helped us understand to what it is we were talking about feel lost what's the weather in that happens to me a lot various classes and come to the project and performance was basically you had to do PowerPoint Skagit reaches and very interesting thing for me to do and it was very difficult that a point but I feel like I learned very good very good cushion for some other students describe a typical day in one of the classes that you took fun if I can describe one word in one word all of these classes it would have to be very expensive I look forward to the for my small business with an honest man it was crazy. So it was like the beginning the highlight of my day and it was the only I wanted to be  and for Virtual Enterprise I believe I believe it was back in stock just have an extra one because we just Google like a family so we just kind of really understood what it is you want to do and we should business business ideas together so it was really like this whole connection  I'm here now can you share some of the connections that you made between the classes that you so because I didn't take them you know customer service no business only proven management and Virtual Enterprise I was kind of blocked I took which will Enterprise first and then I went towards the pathway I learned that customer service it's something very extremely crucial your business because it all depends on how you talk to the customer it all depends on how you present yourself to me so if you prevent yourself to be extremely rude nobody's going to want to go with you nobody is going to want to go up to your business because they assume everyone like that is in your business and I didn't know that and I believe that a plum suicidal is not one person but yeah I definitely understand the psychographics and demographics like I said and I've learned that a small business I also learned that there's a lot of risks involved in getting a business but like I said is part of life and you have to just  stop it. Very good last question so what information would you share with other students here at Poly that might be interested in taking classes and not only do you don't feel for Spiller and you know you want so there you want to have more and more information the more you can grab more you want to know the more you can do things and it's just such an amazing feeling because now I actually feel like I can go ahead and start my own business although I really just have like learn the bass what's I feel like I've learned so much and this is actually one of my favorite person and this is only coming from one point of play when you wine like career people you know so imagine all those people that have an awesome painting classes they must feel extremely full of knowledge and I just want all of that knowledge so I can go ahead and go to good real the world because we aren't going to use parabolas in a math and you know a job we're going to use the skills we know here in a job I really learned how to speak in an interview I know that my hair has to be up I can't play with my hair and I can't like fidget with my fingers around it looks bad I wouldn't have known that learning prayer book  well thank you so very much I so appreciate it we appreciated in a CTE Department we're so glad that you had such a wonderful day for Marion and we'll share it with your fellow peers and of course happy almost end of the school year and I wish you all the best in your senior year did you take it
