Well, I can see that a couple participants have started blogging! Yay! I just read Noah's post- He is just too creative! I don't know if I can take it! =)
Anyway, school and other extra-curricular activities are going well this week. Tomorrow I will be meeting with my mentor Wendy. The Apprentice Program is so amazing for so many reasons ...This being one of them. Each competitor has been assigned mentors to help us through the program and to be there for us for support. It is all part of this great thing the program naturally promotes called "networking".
As a communication major, I am thrilled to be able to do this because I have very few connections to the world of working professionals. I still have to do my internship for my public relations minor and foresee professional relationships developing because of that, but only a few. This program is opening up so many doors for us to not only grow, but for us to promote ourselves.
Getting back to Noah- That guy just makes me laugh. I think the rest of my team would agree. I wish more people could have seen him at his finest just before we were going to present our PowerPoint for the SmartMeal Challenge. We were all pretty nervous (but excited) and were reviewing our notes before entering a room full of judges. Noah kept us all laughing and in great spirits so all we had was great energy as we presented our ideas.
All I have to say is "skiddly doo!"... Little inside joke there.
All of my teammates are so great. Heidi has this thing with work. I really don't know how she does it. She works all night long, and then sleeps during the day. She is on a strict schedule. I really look up to her for being such a committed student, participant of the program, and employee.
Giedre. She is my high-heels lady! Whew, I don't know how she walks all over the place in those stilleto heels- I would DIE! She also is so talented- she speaks so many languages. Just plain cool.
And David. Ahh, David is also a hoot! Like Noah (both of them are such gentlemen), he has a refreshing sense of humor and keeps our team on track. I have enjoyed working with him so far because of his lightheartedness and ability to stay positive.
Really, we make the best team. We all have something to offer, and bring varying perspectives to the floor. What do I bring? The sassiness of course! Every team has just gotta have some spunk. I like to think of myself as the "cheerleader" of the group.
So yeah, there's my little "dedication to my teammates" post! I am just honored to be working with such amazing people throughout this process!

Erin... you didn't comment on my blog. :( I thought that since mine was posted you would give me a mention as well in your blog.
Unless this is some manner of saying that you're going to vehemently oppose any type of communique with the other team?
Erin...I cried a litle bit over all the nice things you said about me. Now only if the rest of the people I know would acknowledge those things...he he he. You rock! those inserts for the menu's were awesome! I will get my team dedication blog on soon.
