EOC Week 7 : The Pitch

For the adventure I’m thinking of a rich entrepreneur looking for an exotic new product to introduce to the United States, he has been traveling the world in the search for exotic flavors, when he arrives in Colombia he gets lost in Colombian forest and it’s forced to survive on natural resources that the forest offers, while looking for food he comes across a potato with a flavor that he has never tasted, he cooks the potato and loves it and realizes that he has found the flavor he was looking for. He returns to the United States with the potatoes and begins to experience with them and making them in different forms until he realizes that the potato is tastier when they are made into French fries. He adds cheese and different spices that he collected from his forest adventure in Colombia and that’s how he invents the Colombian Fries, there flavor is exquisite and he finds that he can only obtain this potato from Colombia no other country in the world has this potato which makes them unique and extremely tasty. The fries have to be fried with little oil or else the flavor goes away. He owns bars around the US and introduces the fries to the bars which become a sensation and eventually spread all throughout the United States. The fries are a complete success and earn him millions of millions of dollars, however he has to strike a deal with the Colombian government so that he can receive shipments directly from Colombia of this potato because it can only be grown there.  This potato has a flavor that is sweet and incredibly tasty, and when made into fries, the salt spices up the flavor making it irresistible to the customer and quickly become a customer preferred at his local bars.

Week 6 EOC: Me Times Three

This first item that I bought it is probably the most recent item I've bought. It's my Michael Kors watch. I bought it actually at my store where I work out of, it is a big and tall store so this watch is probably the only thing I would ever buy in that store. It is Silver because I've always been a silver guy, I've never bought anything that is gold, it's just not my thing, I think silver is more classy and represents more of my personality. I like this watch also because of its size, I think it represents my way of thinking, to always think big and never settle with the minimum.

 One thing that probably describes me the best is my iPhone. I've always been an apple fan but never really could afford it until I started working on my own and stopped depending on my parents. My iPhone describes me really well because it contains the music that I listen to, and that's a wide variety of music. I think music is the best way to get to know a person and honestly if I had a good singing voice, which I don't, I would probably be making my own. When people hear the music on my phone I want them to think of all the qualities that I have.

 

 

The third item is my phone case. It not only represents me, but it represents a dream that I've had for sometime now and that is moving to New York City. I've never been to New York City so it's probably a crazy idea for me to want to move to a place that I've never been but for some reason new York city reminds me of my home Bogota, now New York City and Bogota are two completely different cities, but for some reason New York seems like a place where I would feel closer to home, even though I am miles away from the city that saw me grow up.

Week 1 EOC: Great Customer Service

Once upon a time not too long ago I was getting everything ready to celebrate my 21st birthday, probably the most important birthday for some of us, especially if you live in Las Vegas. I headed to the mall to find a complete outfit for my celebration. I went into TopMan located inside the Fashion Show mall. I entered the shoe department and right away I was greeted by the sales associate. As I looked around, this gentleman approached me and informed me about their sale rack of shoes and said that if I needed any sizes he would be more than glad to get them for me. I saw a couple styles I liked and I asked him if they had my size, which to my disappointment they did not, but this guy did not give up so easily, he continued to offer me styles and asked me what were the shoes for, when he found out it was my birthday he showed me other options that would work with the outfit I had just purchased. Finally we found a pair that worked. I thanked him for all his help and we engaged in minor conversation before I left the store. As a fellow Sales associate myself I honestly can say that he provided excellent service and managed to make a sale and make me, the customer. happy with my purchase.

Week 1 EOC: My Voice

As a filmmaking professional I am far from the usual. I see the world with different eyes, I imagine worlds and characters that are out of our reality. In my work I channel endless possibilities and always "wow" my clients. I allow them to see in my mind into the worlds that I can create with a camera, take them to places they never thought they could go to, show them my reality. When I make a movie, I think to myself "What can I do to make this project not like my others" and that's something I take pride in, I never repeat myself, always something fresh out of my enormous imagination. Since I was little, I've always known I was different, I wasn't like the other kids, I did not want to be a pilot, or a fire fighter, or a police officer, or a doctor, all great and respectable careers but I wasn't like them, I wanted more, I wanted to make a name out of myself. I was always amazed by filmmaking and acting and anything involving the industry, it fascinated me and still does, its my passion. I think this is very important, you have to be passionate about the work you do in order to be successful in it and I have plenty of that. Uniqueness is a very beautiful thing, we do not have to settle with what reality tells us we need to have, we can always stride for more, any dream can be reached with hard work and determination, and I am glad I get to live my dream because I can tell you, it is not an ordinary one.
