Gateway To Opportunity From Student’s point of view
Thursday, January 24th, 2008Juniors and seniors from Scobey High School took a trip down to Glendive to visit the college. They attended different workshops showing interesting and exciting opportunities that all students could learn about, some of these included Selling on Ebay, Wine making, Buy Fresh Buy Local, Rural Tourism. Buy Fresh And Buy Local:This workshop was probably the best workshop I went to yesterday at the Horizons Getaway to Oppurtunity entrepreneur get together. It talked about keeping your business local, and not going crazy at Wal-marts. Also how we could start small time farmers markets in our small towns so that all the businesses would be local.Selling on E-bay:If you want to make a little extra cash you maybe want to consider selling on ebay. Instead of throwing away what you might think is trash, could be someone elses treasure. During this workshop, Bruce Smith, gave the rundown on how to buy and sell on e-bay. He gave many interesting tips and tidbits on what and what not to do.Wine making:For every type of wine there is a different type of grape used. The procces can be very tedious to insure the wine will be perfect. Fermenting the alcohol for wine can create a different essence to it and taste. This also depends on the amount of sugar used and fruit added to the grapes.The trip was a great success influencing the young minds of Scobey High School students. I would recommend that we should take the trip every other year so that new students can learn about different workshops.Bevy Lee and AJ Ekmescic
