- Where will you go?
- I decided to confront some of the people in my apartment building as they were leaving for class or work.
- What kind of people will you approach?
- Any girls or guys that leave their building.
- What will you say to get the conversation started?
- "Excuse me, I know that you're probably very busy."
- What is your plan for the conversation?
- Simply give them the dollar after telling them that I want them to buy something nicer than they normally would today with the money.
- Out of five attempts, how many dollar bills do you think you will be able to give away.
- 5/5
- After this exercise, I felt good giving someone the money and hopefully making their day
better than normal. It was easier than approaching someone about interviewing them, but harder to come up with a reason for why I am speaking to them.I was able to give away the 5 dollar bills on the first try for each one. I think this was the case because of the genuine reason I gave at giving them the dollar. I was not creepy or strange as I handed them the money.

Hey Travis!
ReplyDeleteYou did awesome on this assignment! You seemed so nice and friendly when talking to these people, not weird at all! I like that you gave a simple excuse and asked if it was okay afterwards. I had a very hard time coming up with the reasons and I sounded very awkward delivering them. I think in this assignment, confidence really was key. Overall, great job!

Travis,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your videos and thought you did a great job with the assignment. You were confident, polite and friendly when you approached your neighbors. Although a dollar doesn't seem very "it changed my day," that hall mate could have stopped to get a $1.00 coffee at Dunkin Donuts happy hour that he normally wouldn't have.
