    Great presence and confidence in front of the camera. Personally, I had a lot of trouble with this myself. In regards to your pitch. I think you made very valid points, which I’m sure all on-campus students would agree with. However, you went over 90 seconds, which I’m sure you’re already aware of. Sadly, in my attempts to work on my own personal issues regarding fear of public speaking I’ve stumbled upon some tips that may help you out. Try opening your pitch by just hitting your listener with the severity of the problem. This method is effective in getting straight to the point and getting the attention of the listener as well. This may help you out because you only started talking about the “opportunity” and solution at around 30 seconds into your pitch. Overall, you did a fantastic job in front of the camera… way better than me.

    Hi Anisha! your elevator pitch is very informative and all too relatable to myself and many other UF students who wish to have an easier time finding parking on campus. Your solution is strong and the problem is relevant and I think you could use that to create a strong hook at the beginning that catches the audience's attention right off the bat. Awesome job!

27A: Reading Reflection No. 3

The book I read was How to Fail at Almost Anything and Still Win Big by Scott Adams. This book was a breakthrough in my mind because of how it tackles the concept of failure and how to rise above it. As college students, we refuse to be discouraged easily and keep our eye on the prize. In reality, college is a big adjustment, and learning how to accept failure and move forward is an even biggest adjustment. We come to realize that failure is a part of the human experience, which Adams discusses heavily in his book. For a class assignment, I would ask students to interview 3 people they think are very successful in their respective field (does not have to be business-related) and ask questions about their viewpoint on failure and what they felt was their biggest failure and how they overcame it.

11A: Idea Napkin No. 1

*I slightly changed my product from an electronic billboard to an app after some suggestions from my peers, so thank you to those who gave the suggestion :)* 1)  You. My name is Anisha Patel and I see this app as a way to make a stressful life a little less stressful. This past year was the first year I lived off campus and had a car in Gainesville, and I experienced first-hand the issue with parking. And I complained about it, every single time I had to drive my car to campus. So this app would fit in my lifestyle perfectly because I don't have to worry about driving around for 15-20 minutes and worry about timing out the rush hour and the drive to and from my apartment. 2)  What are you offering to customers? I'm offering an app that will accurately post the number of parking spots available for drivers in each parking lot/garage on college campuses. 3)  Who are you offering it to? I'm offering this to universities and students who believe parking is an issu...

My Avatar is like any UF college student: overly involved, stressing about classes but chooses to procrastinate by meeting with friends or doing any sort of activity that will push off the real stuff they need to accomplish. She is a 22 year old out-of-state college student, about to graduate and move on to medical school to become a surgeon. She lives a basic lifestyle and has many friends, but her closest friends are her roommates. She follows politics, but it is not her main focus. She is a first-generation immigrant college student and is interested in the gym, Netflix, fashion trends and volunteering at a local animal shelter. In fact, she adopted a dog named Rico from that same animal shelter! I would say this avatar is an alternate version of me: we're similar but different at the same time. I kind of gave some of the same characteristics as myself, but also generalized others. For example, I have long, dark-colored hair and a light complexion, but also added glass...
