First Day of Class

What a day! I loved it. However, just as all interns find, sitting in a room and watching someone else teach a class can be quite difficult. I want to refrain from using the word boring as it is not always the case. It is more similar to being non-stimulative. [...]

NBEA – San Antonio

Wow, what a trip. Tessa Jordan, Cyril Kesten and myself went to San Antonio, TX for the annual National Business Education Association meetings. This being Tessa’s first trip on a plane, I was going to enjoy this one! Sorry Tessa! Our first flight went uneventful, except for the fact I got [...]

Luckily, it only took me 15 minutes to drive to the Regina Huda School, the location for my pre-internship. I was filled with excitement at what today would bring. Not knowing much about [...]
