Yesterday! omg! lol. We had a field trip! and i havent had this much fun in since elementary! So the day started with getting to school and having a short breakfast, and then coming to class. we left around 9 and got there around 9 :30. we were still super early, so we went out to the business mall and had starbucks, sight saw a little, and then had a little snack with Isamar. :] so then when it was time around 10:30 we went back and they put us in the conference room and the two lady's came and the game operations guy Gabe came in and told us their story.
They have very interesting stories in how they came to be in their jobs. And to be honest, i thought all these people were going to be old and rigid, they turned out to be young and fun. It gave me hope that i might actually make it into the business world if put my mind and dedication to it. I didnt know The Rockets played on top of ice. he he he. well anyways, then we met this other guy named Jason who does all the design for the Aeros. I would love to have his job, he does all the fun stuff, well sorta, he takes the photographs at the game, the posters, the advertising things, etc. I love photography, and i love using photoshop, maybe later ill consider a position in that or something. But anyways, their a low budget minor leage team and because of that they are more compact, more like family and people who care about what they do. They dont seem like the kind of people who hate going to work each morning. Because they aren't as big as other teams and sports i think it makes them humble. I think people who work in the business side of sports only care about bringing in the money as well as having power in the industry. Well from the morning part of our day, i learned a lot from these people. They weren't boring, they weren't trying to scare us, they were being honest. Running and managing a team and making sure your also making profit is a hard job, but it takes everyone to make it successful, and from what i saw, the Aeros are successful because they have a staff that cares, and who is also efficient. From what i learned yesterday i will keep in mind for my future reference, and also as good advice in my career.
So at night! OMG! we had fun walking around the business mall and then making fun of the people below us in the street. lol. and we were making a musical before the lady told us to leave. what a party pooper. lol. well anyways after we went to the park and played freeze tag! i havent played that in years either. specially with people my age. :] it was fun, but then it wasn't cause i hate being the one who has to tag everyone else. lol. i have short legs... everyone gets away from me.... lol. well anyways we went inside the Toyota center and had a tour, that place is huge! i had never been inside there. and i did not know there was suites in there, a fancy shmancy restaurant, and omg, it was just cool. hahaha. we got to see the Aeros warm up, close up! omg Mr. 19!!!!!!!! lol. they were super extra tall! well the game began, and we watched, and i didnt know much about the sport but then i learned as i watched. I must say that game is so violent but so awesome at the same time. There was a fight! a big one! #20, Mr. Scott! the other picked the fight but i must say #20 kicked his butt and showed him whose boss! lol. we had to leave at 9 unfortunately but the game was awesome, the corporate part was awesome, Mr. 19 was awesome, the whole day was awesome. lol. So that was my day in the Aeros field trip. it was the most fun i've had in a while, but at the same time educational. :]
Thanx Mrs. Cuellar for taking us!!! ohh and Coach for bringing us back!
