Expression of Gratitude. to Spentrep MBA students

Thanks to you Spentrep Guys.

I am thanking the  guys who stuck out with me the Spentrep Class for the last 15 weeks. 13 guys.

Thanks to Lea and Athens.  Lea must have been bothered by her mother who got pneumonia.  She was great in the Lontoc analysis and led the class very well in the Food Trip.  She is an organizer and leader.

Athens is a full time student but had great early experience in business.  Athens cooks well and prepared great buffet for us last Christmas.  She patiently posted for us your assignment as co blogger.  The thing was maybe her post were all coming in and I had great time deleting the so many excess posting.  Thanks for your diligence and patience.  I am sure she is going to do great with her future  pursuit.

Evan.  I had doubted the survival rate of full time student straight from undegraduate.  Maybe since he is an athlete, and I am partial to athlete, I supported him and supported his efforts.  I did not know he was a great cook.  And he strove hard in class work.  He had great NU 12s and fought hard to defend those that I struck down.  That is being enterprising.

Joseph.He is an MM MBA who cross enrolled and he said he loved the energy of the young guys. What struck me about Joseph was his resourcefulness during the group creativity activity (the dry cooking and menu).  He embodied what entrepreneurship was all about bordering on "madaya" "manlalamang"  He kept on asking for resources from other groups which his group did not have.,. He was a great negotiator too. He was ready to give away any ingredient which other groups did not have.  He had great insights into the cases.  (Sayang sana we had more time for case analysis -  the written case analysis does not give much room for improvement of critical thinking).  He said in the final speech  in the class that the Spentrep rounded up  his MBA education and was apologetic for coming to class late because of his job.

Jaypee  Although he was bothered by a sick father, Jaypee did very well in class when he was present.  He was full of energy and had great leadership.  I think right now his right and left brain are at war.  He wants a secured job but deep inside he is creative and wants to be different.  He is an artist and creative deep inside. He did a stunning and long presentation on Creativity.

Nelle. Manages a large group of hard driving sales director for Avida.  I wonder how she finds time for MBA.  But given the time, she would be Summa Cum Laude in my class.

JP Molina. Our Victoria and accounting guru (although Alvin and Jaypee are accountants too.)  He speaks slowly but very talented.  He was kind enough help enlighten the MBAH student on financial spreadsheet. He was very honest on late.  He led the class in bringing food/treating the class because he came late and/or his phone rang.

Jen Lo and Arlo.  Their names rhyme.  They will make a great couple.

Those are the things I remembered about the class members during the short time we were together 3 hours at most.  Not much time to know you better.  Thanks to all, and excuse to those I did not mention
