In the realm of education, there are subjects that leave a profound impact on us, shaping our perspectives and contributing to our personal growth. One such subject for me has been the Entrepreneurial Mind. This subject has not only broadened my horizons but also instilled in me a sense of confidence and self-belief.

The first thing I learned in this subject was the importance of having an entrepreneurial mindset. This mindset is not just about starting a business, but it's about thinking creatively, being innovative, and taking calculated risks. It's about seeing opportunities where others see obstacles. Even though my major is in Secondary Education with a focus on English, this subject has been instrumental in my personal growth.

Our advisor, Mr. Reymark Angelio Menguito, played a significant role in this journey. His understanding nature and vast knowledge made the learning process enjoyable and enlightening. His guidance helped us navigate through the complexities of the subject with ease. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to him for his unwavering support and encouragement.

My experience in this subject would not have been complete without my groupmates. Working together on various activities, we learned the importance of teamwork and collaboration. We shared ideas, learned from each other's experiences, and supported each other through challenges. I am grateful for their companionship and contribution to my learning journey.

How did the Entrepreneurial Mind subject contribute to my personal growth, despite my major being in Secondary Education?

Even though my major is in Secondary Education, the Entrepreneurial Mind subject has contributed significantly to my personal growth in several ways.

Firstly, it has broadened my perspective. It taught me to look at situations from different angles, to see opportunities where others see challenges. This mindset is not only beneficial in business but also in everyday life. It encourages problem-solving and innovative thinking, which are valuable skills in any field.

Secondly, it has instilled in me a sense of self-confidence and independence. Through various activities and projects, I learned to take initiative, make decisions, and take responsibility for those decisions. This has boosted my confidence and made me more self-reliant.

Thirdly, it has enhanced my communication and teamwork skills. Working with my groupmates on various activities, I learned to effectively communicate my ideas and listen to others. This has improved my interpersonal skills and made me a better team player.

Lastly, it has taught me the importance of resilience and adaptability. In the entrepreneurial world, things don't always go as planned. Learning to adapt to changes and bounce back from failures is a crucial lesson that I can apply in all areas of my life.

The Entrepreneurial Mind subject has been a transformative experience for me. It has equipped me with valuable skills and knowledge that I can apply in my personal and professional life. It has taught me to be resilient, to embrace change, and to always strive for excellence. I am excited to carry these learnings forward and apply them in my future endeavors.

Voices Unveiled: Exploring the Printing Challenges Faced by Students - Insights from Candid Interviews

By Angelika Jane G. Mejos

Welcome back to my blog. To all the readers who have been following my blogs, I want to greet you a good day and thank you for joining me since my very first blog post.

To ensure a comprehensive understanding of the topic at hand, we decided to conduct interviews with a diverse group of 10 random students on campus. Accompanied by my group mates Jhohannie, Jay Anne, Queenie, and Jean Leah, we embarked on this endeavor with a shared goal in mind - to gather valuable insights and perspectives that would contribute to the development and refinement of our ideas.

While conducting interviews can sometimes feel a bit uncomfortable or nerve-wracking, we recognized the importance of this process in our academic journey. We understood that by engaging in meaningful conversations with our fellow students, we would be able to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges they face when it comes to printing and explore potential solutions that could address their needs effectively.

With this in mind, we approached the interviews with an open mind and a genuine curiosity to learn from our peers. We asked thought-provoking questions and encouraged the participants to share their experiences and thoughts freely. This allowed us to uncover a wide range of perspectives and gather valuable insights that would shape the direction of our project.

Throughout the interviews, we were able to establish a sense of camaraderie and trust with the participants, creating an environment where they felt comfortable expressing their opinions and sharing their personal experiences. This rapport enabled us to delve deeper into the challenges they faced with printing and understand the impact it had on their academic lives.

Here are our guide questions that we used during the interview:

1. Have you ever encountered any issues with printing?

2. What are your thoughts on using an app that allows you to print and have your prints delivered?

3. How much are you willing to pay for the delivery service alone?

4. Would you be interested in availing a premium service where you'll always be prioritized?

These questions aimed to gather the experiences and opinions of the students regarding printing. They provided us with valuable information and perspectives that served as a basis for our project.

Here are the majority of their responses:

1. Yes, I have also experienced several problems with printing. Sometimes it's due to lack of time, and other times it's because of technical issues.

2. I believe that an app that allows for printing and delivery of printouts would be a tremendous help. Especially for students who are always in a rush, this would be a great solution.

3. It depends on the quality and speed of the service, but I would be willing to pay an additional 50-100 pesos for the delivery.

4. If the premium service guarantees that my printouts will always be prioritized, why not?

The feedback we received from the interviews with the students in our campus strongly supports the idea of implementing an app-based printing and delivery service. The majority of the students acknowledged that they have encountered various issues with printing, ranging from time constraints to technical difficulties. This highlights the need for a more efficient and convenient solution.

The students expressed their belief that an app that allows for printing and delivery of printouts would be a game-changer. They recognized the potential of such an app to simplify the printing process and save them valuable time, especially considering the fast-paced nature of student life. This demonstrates a clear demand for a service that can streamline the printing experience and provide added convenience.

Moreover, the students showed a willingness to pay an additional fee for the delivery service alone, indicating their recognition of the value and convenience it brings. This suggests that they understand the cost implications of providing a reliable and efficient delivery service and are willing to invest in it.

Additionally, the idea of a premium service that prioritizes their printouts resonated with the students. They expressed interest in availing such a service, recognizing the benefits of having their printouts given priority, particularly during busy periods when time is of the essence.

Overall, the responses from the students highlight the potential success and effectiveness of our proposed printing delivery service. It addresses a common pain point among students and aligns with their desire for convenience and efficiency. By leveraging technology and offering a premium service, we can cater to their needs and provide a valuable solution that will be embraced by the student community.

So, stay tuned for my upcoming last blog post! It will delve deeper into the details of our proposed printing delivery service and explore the potential benefits it can bring to students. Exciting things are coming your way!

Addressing Student Concerns: Proposed Solutions

In school, students have concerns, and it's important to listen to them. We recently asked students about their worries, and they gave us a list of problems along with ideas to fix them. In this essay, we'll talk about these problems and why the ideas to solve them are a good start.

Rude Vendor

Solution: Use vending machines instead of the rude vendor.

This problem might seem small, but it's about making students feel good. Vending machines are like magic snack boxes. They're always polite and give you what you want. This idea makes sure students can get snacks and drinks easily, which is nice.

Dress Code Opposition

Solution: Let students choose their clothes more freely.

Some students don't like the dress code. This idea lets students pick their own clothes. It means they can show their style and be responsible for their choices. It's like giving them some freedom.

Garbage Management

Solution: Have more people clean up or teach students about not making a mess.

Keeping our place clean is important. This idea says we can hire more people to help clean up or teach students not to make a mess. It's about teamwork and taking care of our school.

Classroom Accessibility

Solution: Make sure students have enough time for each class and build more classrooms.

Getting to class on time is tough. This idea says we can give students more time between classes. And if we need more rooms, we can build them. It's about making sure learning is easy. 

Making School Better by Listening to Students

In school, we want to make things better for students. We asked students what problems they have and how we can fix them. In this essay, we'll talk about these problems and why the solutions we came up with are good ideas.

Imagine if you were starting a new business. You'd want to know what people like and what problems they have, right? That's what we did with students. We asked them about their worries. It's like when you ask your friends what games they like to play. We did that to find out what students want.

Sometimes, school has problems, just like when you have a puzzle to solve. One problem was a rude person selling snacks. That's not nice, so we had an idea. Instead of the rude person, we could have snack machines. These machines are like magic boxes that give you snacks when you want them. It's a creative way to solve the problem, like finding a new way to win a game.

In school, some rules might not make students happy, like the dress code. So, we had another idea. We thought students should pick their own clothes. It's like letting them choose what game to play. This way, they can show their style and make choices, which is like giving them more freedom.

Imagine if your room was always messy, and no one cleaned it up. That's what happened in school sometimes. So, we had a couple of ideas. We could get more people to clean up, like having more friends help you clean your room. Or we could teach students not to make a mess, just like your parents teach you to keep your room clean. It's all about working together and taking care of our school.

Getting to class on time can be tricky, like getting to your favorite game on time. We had a solution. We could give students more time between classes, like giving you more time to play before dinner. And if we need more rooms for classes, we can build them, just like adding more pieces to your game to make it better. It's about making sure learning is not rushed and everyone can get to class easily.

In the end, the problems students talked about are important. We want our school to be a nice place where students can learn and have fun. These ideas show that we're listening to students and trying to make things better together, just like playing a game with friends and making it even more exciting.
