Bars and Tone Reflection
To sum up my trip to Bars and Tone, it felt like the subliminal message of Nike. I felt like I hit rock bottom, then went to the top. The only reason why it started off bad for me though was because a bird thought it would be funny to bomb me in my nice clothes and part of my hair. However, the actual visit was very fun and I felt that I left that company learning something that will help me for the rest of my life.
When I was there, I expected it to be all business and no play, but it didn’t exactly turn out that way when I introduced myself with dance. When I talked to Stefan, the president of Bars and Tone, we talked about to just pursue your passion if you really want it. I thought it Would be unrealistic to go for what I wanted to do my whole life, but I found out there’s so many ways to apply my talent to different jobs and opportunities. Also I learned how to be dominant in a handshake thanks to Brian Nowac (a director from Bars and Tone), by putting my hand on top during a handshake.
Overall, I have to say that the whole trip was an experience that I would like to go through multiple times. Not only did the visit help me narrow down my choices on a career path, but it also helped me find out that you can start a business for just fifty dollars. Everyone met me at the casual level, which made me feel much more comfortable approaching each of the employees. Right now, I’m doing everything I can to strengthen my talents so that I can use those talents to do something I enjoy. So thank you, Bars and Tone. Thank you for letting me know that I can succeed in life doing something that I WANT to do.
