The Transfer from Wapakoneta

Here we are in another week of school. This week has been kind of crazy as per usual. The week started off on Monday forgetting my bookbag at home causing me to show up late to the lift Monday morning. Later that day I decided to go back home to Wapakoneta to watch my brother play his first baseball game of the year. I got home just in time to ride over to the ballpark with my family but little did I know I forgot my lawn chair.  When I realized I had forgotten my chair it was too late to go home and grab it because I would miss the beginning of the game. Tuesday finally rolled around and let me tell you it was a long one. On Tuesday I had a job introduction day where I had to watch hours upon hours of certification videos so I could operate a forklift for this company. After I finally got out of the videos I had to take a test which was pretty easy so that made me feel like it was not a complete waste of time. Now here we are mid-week on Wednesday. On Wednesday I had to help my dad load out steers at our family’s farm. Loading out the steers is not just a little task because it entails sorting the calves by size putting the correct number in each pen so that when the semi shows up we can just walk them onto the trailer. After we got the cattle sorted the semi showed up right on time and we were able to get the cattle loaded up easily. How has your week been so far?

    I remember you telling me about that job! I'm glad to hear that it's been going well so far, you'll need to keep me updated! But this week you didn't have something crazy happen to you, or did you just forget to mention it? My week has been pretty simple, just getting back into classes after an almost two-week break. Did your brother end up winning the game? Did you play baseball in high school too?

The Transfer from Wapakoneta

Here we are in our last month of classes. After this month is over, we only have a few days in May to take our exams and then we are off on summer break. I will be spending my weeks leading up to these exams studying a lot so I can keep my grades up. We just started our second week of spring practices this week. Things are starting to come to me quicker as I am still learning all the tag words and signals but overall, it is going well. This week my family and I have been planning our vacation that we are taking this summer and needless to say I am ready for summer. How is everyone else’s life going?

The Transfer from Wapakoneta

 Here we are another week down and things are still going well. We just got back from a nice surprise four day weekend because of snow. I spent my days from last Wednesday night to Saturday afternoon pushing and plowing snow from the cab of our skid loader. I plowed anywhere from 20-25 driveways during each day while pushing big industrial lots and gas stations in the nighttime. This left little time for sleep. Each day I was awake and pushing snow every morning by 4 a.m. and not being done until 9-10 p.m. in the evening. While I knew we were going to get some snow, but I was not totally sure how much we would be getting, I used my Facebook marketing knowledge to let the people know in my surrounding area that I would be cleaning driveways out for $25 a driveway. This led to people telling other people and the word got out and I got super busy. I was able to make quite a bit of money over this three day time period and help people of the community out. Did anyone else do anything o...

The Sim

Throughout this semester we utilized the sim function in mimic social. The sim helped us understand how to use the different platforms to promote a given business. We had to schedule post with a budget and then make sure the content we posted was useful to the public to understand what we were advertising. After the sim was ran you got the stats from each platform and you were asked questions based upon the stats from that round. Over the course of the semester we did 12 rounds of mimic social. In the last couple weeks we had to hire someone to post about our company and we had to pay them per post. Let me tell you they are not easy people to negotiate with. It took me 2 whole rounds to get somebody to accept my offer when I offered them exactly what they stated they were worth. Any ways this helped the stats by giving it more interactions and engagements due to the fact that the person was famous or had lots of expertise on the topic. Thanks again for listening in this semester!
