I received very positive feedback on my first video. I was surprised that people commented on the change in tone of my voice becuase it's something I wasn't focusing on. This time around I decided to be standing (as suggested by the professor) and I changed my attire to a suit jacket and button-down to improve the first impressions. Last time I only wore a t-shirt which I think was too informal. I put in alot more practice, which I think helped my flow better. https://youtu.be/cogye3T9Xp4

And I also know he was the founder so to hear he got fired was a surprising I admire the belief Steve had in his  innovatives. Dropping out of college of pursuing what you love is a very scary thing. But his trust in himself to eventually innovate something so amazing is almost as impressive as the inventions themselves. The part I least admire is probably the brand itself. I've never been a huge fan despite recognizing it's innovation and importance too technology. The only Apple product I liked where the iPods when they first came out His biggest adversity was getting fired from his life's work. After making peace with it he allowed himself to start from scratch again and began what he believes was the most innovative part of his life. Making two great companies like Next (whic...

1) A behavior I found really important to the course was to spend a lot of time critiquing you own work. It will help you best fine tune everything to it's best self. 2) I felt like giving up when I missed 2 assignments for the week because the normal deadline had been moved up. I had been especially saddened becuase I didn't plan to miss any weekly assignments in order to make up for my constant poor quiz/cupcake grades (which I get not matter how much notes I take). What pulled me back is snapping back to the reality of the situation, which is that I need to strive for the best in each class to protect my GPA.
