I'm exhausted. The Rocket Pitch Competition was big. You know how you feel drained after the end of a long day full of excitement and pressure? That's how I feel. The event was huge. The press and the Secretary of the Department of Corrections showed up. The reporter from KCRA filmed everything, interviewed the winners and told us the highlights will air tonight at 10pm and 11pm. I'll ask my mom to go online and watch that segment.

​She'll be able to see me receive the Career Readiness Certificate from Baylor which was presented at the end of the day's events.

Had an eventful day. Spent the morning trying to memorize the 3-minute pitch that I'm supposed to deliver at the big event tomorrow. After dinner, the CEO of Defy Ventures, Catherine Hoke, stopped by the Level III gym to speak to all the men who will be pitching tomorrow, to give us last-minute tips.

Preparing for my first Rocket Pitch Competition. The RPC is a chance for Defy EITs (Entrepreneurs In Training) to present themselves and their product in a Sharktank-style competition. Hundreds of people will be there. Judges, investors, well-wishers and other EITs. I'm a little nervous, Fortunately, I'm also a little cocky.
Gave a practice pitch today which exposed some areas I need to work on.

Took a Defy Ventures Employment Readiness Exam. It's a big deal because if I pass I'll earn a certificate from Baylor University, the one in Texas. That's a big deal. Baylor has a top-notch entrepreneurship program and a partnership with Defy Ventures.
