Week in Review<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday, January 13, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we learned an amazing lesson when it comes to public\nspeaking in Toastmasters International<\/em>.\nWe are practicing becoming better public speakers and are expected to meet certain\ncriteria in order to be effective. We are currently working on Project Two, and\nour objective is to give a four to seven minute speech that contains an\nopening, body and conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, today\u2019s class went well, and all five speakers\nqualified for Project Three. Our class has been monumental. We are learning how\nto define our goals clearly and in an organized manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today has been another success for the Visionaries of\nSpring 20\/20. We have become a family and support each other every step of the\nway. We are grateful for this and the fact that PEP continues to encourage us\nto succeed.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\nin the computer lab, we studied Excel, a spreadsheet program. A spreadsheet is\nan electronic document that stores various types of information. Excel is used\nmainly for storing and calculating financial data, but it has other uses as\nwell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\nalso learned about how to give a PowerPoint presentation, which is a collection\nof data and information that we can then deliver to a specific audience. We\noften use it for simpler things, such as business cards and logos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the\nsecond half of our class, we had a presentation on the Economics of One Unit (EOUs).\nEOUs show the profitability of one unit of our business. The class as a whole\nwas so excited to learn about this information. The presentation was awesome and\nbrotherly love was in the atmosphere!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What an eventful day today has been. We started our morning\nwith a pray-out for one of our brothers who has been granted parole. It feels\ngood to see our brothers go home. Afterwards, we had just enough time to drink\nsome coffee and do some last-minute studying for the upcoming test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After lunch, the Visionaries of Spring 20\/20 reported to\nthe PEP classroom. Tim H. graced us with his presence and offered omnipotent\nwisdom when it comes to handling financial statements. Those who did not\ncompletely understand the subject most definitely got a better grasp of it\ntoday. Overall, today was a good day and we all gained insight on our upcoming\nprojects.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would like to start by saying \u201cThank God.\u201d We woke up to\nanother wonderful day. At 8:30 a.m. we headed down the hallway to our computer\nlab class. We are truly blessed to have Servant-Leaders such as Scottie B. (a.k.a.\nBanana Split) to help guide us through our lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We finished up all of our Lesson Nine packet, and now we\nare on to our Excel lessons. It\u2019s exciting to get the opportunity to sharpen\nour computer skills here at PEP. We understand the knowledge we are receiving\nfrom our computer lab class will only advance our entrepreneurship skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that PEP is providing us with endless information,\nskills and the knowledge to become successful entrepreneurs says wonders about\nthe PEP organization. We are always grateful for their priceless time and\nefforts. Thank you for everything, PEP.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Visionaries of Spring 20\/20 had our earliest call-out to\nclass all week. We all made it in, some of us still half asleep, but ready to\nstart the day off. A few changes for the day, we were all surprised to find out\nthat our Living in the Village <\/em>instructor\nLedarion H. (a.k.a. Reese\u2019s Pieces) was moved to another unit. We will now be\ntaught by none other than Michael M. (a.k.a. Jim Adler, The Texas Hammer).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this change we were also pleasantly surprised to learn\nthat our usual one test was changed into two tests. Luckily, we\u2019ve all become\naccustomed to the occasional unpredictability of PEP and took it in stride, and\ndoing well with it at that. Despite all of the obstacles and surprises, we all\nmade it through another day successfully.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAny useful statement\nabout the future should at first seem ridiculous.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

~ Jim Dator <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come to\nterms with the apparent nature of reality. Analyze current circumstances. What\nis permanent, and what is temporary? Some say that only the present exists and the\nfuture is unreal. If you can\u2019t take hold of the future, the future will take\nhold of you. Don\u2019t be scared to make goals and achieve. Don\u2019t be a statistic.\nMan cannot tell you that you are unrealistic because you are equipped with an intricate\nwit that is uniquely exquisite. Your past does not deserve a visit because your\nfuture has no limit. Have an insurmountable amount of passion to deposit\ngreatness into life\u2019s account. Only then will you find wisdom and\nunderstanding. Stay humble.       <\/p>\n\n\n\n
