Usually I am very good at articulating my thoughts but for the first time in a while I feel unprepared and overwhelmed. While I read, I don't think it sunk in very well. The reading on the "Meaning of 'Social Entrepreneurship'" caught my eye the most. Author Gregory Dees quotes Peter Drucker's definition of entrepreneurship as "the entrepreneur always searches for change, responds to it, and exploits is as an opportunity". Upon reading his definition I immediately thought of a few people whom I know personally who have become what Drucker would consider an entrepreneur. While these people would not fit within the "standards" of social entrepreneurship as explained in the article, getting advice from them on how they got themselves off the ground would be a good idea.
As for the class project, like I am sure many other are, I am unsure as to how deep this project goes. In the past week I have worked with kids under the age of five and thought about activities that I could do with them to keep them entertained on December 1st at the event. These things include coloring/ arts and crafts type activities as well as physical activities like duck duck goose or other group games. This would make it easier for the adults to enjoy themselves, knowing they don't have to keep looking over their shoulder to make sure their son or daughter isn't doing something naughty.
Irrelevant tidbit of information: I like cats and thought to myself this evening "I wonder how many rap songs there are about cats", and this is what I found so far to be most interesting. . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1vkjOvD-zs
