This week started and ended with exciting activities. On Monday, October 31st, I celebrated Halloween "Trunk or Treat" style. Trunk or Treat is my high school's take on the classic Halloween tradition of trick-or-treating. Different organizations on campus sign up for parking spots in the student parking lot, and they decorate car trunks in unique themes. On Halloween night, children in the Frisco community come to the Liberty High School parking lot to stop by the trunks and trick-or-treat at each organization's car trunk. I worked with the other National Honor Society officers to set up the NHS "Winter Wonderland" themed trunk. Our two cars were decorated with festive green and red, and we had a full-size white Christmas tree decorated with candy. Handing out candy to the adorable toddlers in their Halloween costumes was such a blast! After Trunk or Treat, the next few days consisted of catching up on schoolwork and preparing for the first research speech that we have coming up next week. I scheduled a research interview with Dr. Gerlacher, a local doctor who has had experience as a both a pediatrician and a business manager. On Friday, DECA had its annual Mavs Day, in which students from across the area spend a day at the American Airlines Center learning about the business aspect of sports enterprises, and at the end of the day everyone gets to watch the Mavericks as they play in a season game. I loved getting to explore Dallas before the business presentations, touring American Airlines Center and seeing the practice courts for the Mavs, listening to the business executives in the Mavericks brand speak to us, and of course cheering my heart out for the Mavericks! At the end of the game, the Mavs fell 10 points short to the Portland Trailblazers. Although our team wasn't able to get the win, I had an amazing time getting to learn more about the field of sports management and spending time with my friends.
