Competitive Events
By: Daniela Fonzin
On
February 15th I competed in the NE regional conference for
competitive DECA. It was a very nerve racking experience to say the least. All
of the preparations that has to go into making sure your presentations are one
of a kind, and your presentation will needs to have that “WOW” factor. I
competed in Professional Sales. My competition category was pitching a sales
idea to two judges. I also had to explain to them how I planned to fund the
idea as well as what the idea is. I also competed in the public speaking event;
where we were given a topic and had to present a ten minute speech over the
topic. The topic happened to be
Instagram, one of the fastest growing social networks of today’s generation. I
didn’t place this competition, and unfortunately I will not be going to
Anaheim, California where, ICDC will be held this year, but I am grateful for
the experience and I gained a lot from the experience. I can say that I am very proud of all my
fellow Johnson and Wales Students that placed at regional conference as well as
my fellow peers; it was well deserved. Overall regional conference was a great
experience and I can’t wait to come back next year with a BANG!
