Introduce yourself! Who are you? What are you majoring in/hoping to major in? What are your hobbies?
Hello, my name is Gabe Meyer. I am currently a sophomore here at WWU. I am currently hoping to major in Kinesiology and Environmental Studies. In my free time, I like to work out. I also play basketball on an intramural team. I try to meditate consistently. I also resell clothes online. I like to hang out with my friends
as well as my girlfriend, go on hikes, thrift clothes, skate, play sports, etc.
Why did you join Entrepreneurship or why are you in the Entrepreneurship minor?
I joined the entrepreneurship program because throughout my life I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit. I even can remember back to when I was eight years old and came up with my idea and designs for a hovercar. I drew out my plans, presented them to my family, and stuck it on the fridge with my signature on them to serve as a patent. Fast forward about 12 years and here I am taking a diverse course load at WWU. While my majors may not seem to relate directly I can see the plans in my mind, and for me, an entrepreneurship minor seems like just the perfect thing to act as the glue between these majors and completely round off the sphere that I aim to be as a human being.
How did the first day of class go for you? What stuck out to you? What areas do you need more clarity?
The first day of class went great for me. It was wonderful to get to see everybody again and catch up a bit. I was also really excited to see all of the new E1s that have joined the program. It seems like the majority of them are extremely qualified and will hopefully contribute great work to the program. There aren’t too many areas at this point in which I feel I need clarity. However, I feel a WordPress workshop could be extremely helpful, as I have been running into many issues trying to figure out how to sort out my menus and get all the pages to behave.
How are you preparing for success this quarter?
This quarter I am preparing for success by planning out my weeks, months, and days as far as I can in advance. I plan to focus primarily on maintaining solid mental health throughout the quarter by meditating, getting good sleep, exercising, eating healthy, and getting plenty of water. Hopefully operating with a focus on mental health will lead me to produce higher quality work in the long run. That is my plan at this point in the quarter, it may be subject to change as I get deeper into my classes.
After reading the syllabus, what do you expect for your E-level journey this quarter? (eg- first quarter, second quarter, etc.
This quarter I expect an extreme amount of growth. We are being presented with the task of organizing an entire event. This may seem like a daunting task but it is also very much an exciting one. I feel much more prepared after last quarter, really getting my feet wet with my entrepreneurial skills. Now I am ready to kick it into full gear, networking, planning, and executing I am sure we will be able to pull off something great. I have already started thinking and doing some minor planning for the project as well as doing some networking for the event. I am excited and ready for this quarter!
I didn’t know you were a kinesiology major! thats super cool. On the topic of planning for success, I think you’re on a great track with planning ahead and getting ahead so that assignments and tasks are not piled up
Hey Gabe!
Thanks for introducing yourself, it was cool to hear about the things you enjoy doing. Also really good paragraph on how you are preparing for success! I relate to your goals of sleep, drinking water, exercise, and nutrition – those are all areas which lead to physical and mental stability which I know I could improve at. Overall great post, good detail, n I hope this program helps you get that hover car dream off the ground haha (jk).
Cheers,
