One of the main areas where I was able to help Cami out the most was with her HTM 301 assignments. I gave her advice on how to succeed in both of her simulations; ConquestAir and 4TheFam. I explained to her what to expect and told her some of the things that I would do differently if I had to do those projects all over again. For example, I told her that for the 4TheFam simulation it is very important to assign each group member to be responsible and keep an eye out for each family member because you never know what crazy thing they might do next. Another advice I gave her was to keep the food very simple since it is a major distraction. In my case, some family members did not event participate in the activities we had planned because they were busy eating. I was very glad when Cami sent me an e-mail saying that both her simulations went great!This blog describes my journey throughout the semester with my mentee, Cami Tran.
