Capstone Blog Post 2

Recently I interviewed Juan Uro to help with my Capstone project. He was a former Executive Vice President of League Finance and Global Strategy of the NBA. I chose him because he worked with a lot of General Managers (GM’s) and he understood a lot of it relating to basketball.

It wasn’t so hard to set up the interview because he used to work at the same company my dad does so we had all of his contacts. He was also my dad’s friend so he would more likely do a favor for him.

I asked a lot of questions about what the most important skills were for a GM and why. I also asked a lot of questions about NBA GM’s, especially Danny Ainge. It was hard to come up with questions at first and as he answered my questions I kept thinking of more and more questions. Those questions I was thinking of were answered anyway. 

It was a fun experience having the interview and thank you for reading this blog post!

 

Immigration Unit Reflection

We recently studied immigration. We interviewed an immigrant and made a video out of it, this is my reflection. At first the process was really boring, we had to study a lot and no one likes studying. At least me. We had to answer questions, watch videos, read articles, and finally we were ready. We started planning are interview with questions and taking what we know. This process was a lot more fun than studying, but still not the best. Finally we got to do the interview. I interviewed someone I knew and then I made a video. I liked making the video more than anything in this unit. I think this unit was a good idea and it got a lot more interesting towards the end.
