Mentor and Mardi Gras

My mentor has taught me many valuable skills that I have starting using to my interests in progressing as a business student.  This semester I learned new things but more focused on communicating in the business world. One thing I've learned is to always look presentable because you never know if you will come into contact with a current or future client. Another valid tip I've learned from my mentor is to always look a person in the eye. Looking someone in the eye when you are talking to them shows confidence and interest. One job that interests me is becoming CEO of a major company. I've always wanted to be at the top and I believe its something I could succeed in. My dad is my inspiration in becoming a CEO because he came from nothing to something big. 
I am very glad that I have the opportunity to go to college in the city of Mardi Gras. I'm very excited to participate in the parades and enjoy the culture. Mostly I want to avoid getting arrested or getting in any sort of trouble. I think it will be a great time. Mardi Gras is very important to New Orleans because it brings a lot of tourists who help boost the economy. The amount of money made by private businesses in New Orleans during Mardi Gras helps the city run more efficiently throughout the year.
