The Da Bread Boulevard started as small food cart business. The founders did
not imagine that the business will be established because the concept of the business
was only made as a final requirement for school. But it was really a blessing in disguise
because the concept of the business became successful during the simulation; after two
years the founders take the risks of making it an official business. Introducing a new
product in the market was hard especially for amateur entrepreneur but the Da Bread
Boulevard did not give up until it gets the attention of the customers. In the present, Da
Bread Boulevard is known for making quality bread sushi rolls which can be savory and
sweet and the sunshine and sunset tea drinks that is perfect for the summer heat.

enjoyed the independence and flexibility of running our own business and working with
people with ease. This business venture gives opportunity to people, especially to us,
because the things that we learned from the venture can helps us to manage our
But there are negative things; this business venture gives us pressure because
this is the first time that we put up a business. So, this business venture is a challenge
for us. Also, it is costly and some of the students have a hard time to produce and
contribute money because of financial problem. Some are just a small problems like
having a misunderstanding while conducting the business venture and some changes
on plans.
Our business venture were executed successfully, we enjoyed every step on this
business. I didn’t expect everything, but we were thankful that our business is a
successful one. Customers keep coming back for more because they love our products,

products are made with love and so as the staffs, cooperation is the key. Everyone

business venture is successful and also one of the best moment on student’s life.
Corono, Louise
While I’m doing this kind of business venture, it is so challenging because using
this you will learn other things that you have not experienced yet. I learned some simple
strategies in marketing that is how to manage your business, to handle your business
and how to manage your time management to become successful business women
someday.
There’s a lot of thing in the business is have a positive and negative to become a
business person, the positive is you will learn the experience to how to communicate
the customer or clients, to enjoy your business venture, and your always smile while to
talk to your customers. The negative is sometimes you cannot avoid the problem in your
business, I’m disappoint myself because I’m not ready to handle this situation because
All of this, I learned to being responsible not as a student but as a person with a
simple life, in the business world you don’t know what is the result of your business
entry but always positive to your business, in the business all of this is started to a small
store until it grow, but if there’s a problem that’s coming, just be with your family and
Ecap, Ivan
I and my group mates learned so much about business, this event is good for
enhancing our marketing strategies and training us for future stability. Collaboration is
46
much more needed on what we’ve done so far, it also teaches us how a team should be
and sharing each other’s idea. Being innovative can help to upgrade the product step by
step. It also engages our leadership by thinking under pressure and allowing each
Some of the customers will be harsh to you, specifically when endorsing your
product. Emotional reactions may occur in misunderstandings of one another. I’m really
against paying too much for school purposes but this lesson thought me that in
My overall learning is that, with a small amount of money, you can make so many
things that much effort must be needed and financial problem is just the base. This can
help my future to become more innovative and more knowledgeable of what I’m capable
to do.
With this Business Venture, I have gained experience. This performance task
made me apply the lessons and skills that was taught to us from a classroom setting
into a real life. Aside from that, I have learned also to work together and try to be in sync
with some people whom I work with. I have been required to function accordingly and
properly as to what is needed. The good thing with this task is that this taught me how
to work under pressure. Since it was our first simulation task, we’re all trying to put
things into our control and luckily enough it didn’t get out of our hands. The best thing
that I ever got with all this hardships, are the smiles and compliments that the
47
customers gave. Truly, no matter how hard it is to build up a business, if you do it right,
If there’s a negative thing about this kind of task, it is that it consumes too much
energy and money. This performance tas gave us too much stress. But though I felt like
this was too much for me to handle, my team functioned properly and by God’s grace
we made it through. —So, though this Venture may have been our source of stress from
the past few weeks, it turned out to be all worth it in the end
This business venture has a lot of advantages like it will be a great help for us
because we will be having our own experiences to manage a certain business. And
someday. It serves as our training, offers productivity. We learn that building a business
is not an easy way. We see different possibilities and opportunity in forming a business.
The disadvantages is you need to risk everything your ideas, your planning, your
patience. You need to develop your ideas with your group mates. You need to manage
your time because you have to make it possible. Business venture make us to have
unity because in order to succeed in one business, you need to have cooperation and
communication with your group mates. We also learn how to manage our store
properly, joint our efforts. In one business you need to do your responsibilities. We learn
that when you are already there you need to serve your costumers right. You need to
deal with your patience, and hard work. You need to understand what are the risk and
rewards for any new business venture. After all the efforts and hardships when it
48
already done you will realize that even though you may encounter hardships at first, it
will gain and boosts as a success. Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.
The road to success is always under construction. There are no secrets to success. It is
the result of preparation, hard work and learning. You need to take all the opportunities,
Leop, Sharmaine
Doing business venture is one of our the best experience that we can cherish in
our whole life. This experience gave us confident to be successful someday, We’ve
learned so much in this moment on how to make time management , how to do those
strategies in marketing, how to discover our different leadership of being student even
flavored product of our costumer because I was panic and I don’t know what orders I
will given to them, but in moment it gave me a lesson although everyone confused what
we will do. It gave me reflection on how we manage ourselves despite of being busy,
Overall reflection even you are lack of time to do the tasks better , just be calm
and think better what should we do to make the venture to be good at the last minute of
time.

While serving we saw satisfied customers with their orders. The feedbacks were great
and some said that it was delicious. Regarding problems we made a quick solution and
took action immediately such as incorrect orders and the lack of some ingredients. We
got one customer who patronizes our booth and it made us happy. The team was very
positive with the outcome. In contrast, the tension is there and problems were present

and I see some customers waiting in a long line. Since I was the cashier I feel like a

I’m doing. Overall, the event was a success despite of some complications. This event
made me a quick decision maker. As problems came fast I was able to think swiftly and

knowledgeable of what to do next time. This experience will surely be a lesson and a
memory to me, working with my classmates and having fun in the midst of anxious
situation.

doing this kind of activity is that I see my classmates in a new light. I see how they act in
a group and how they handle problems and through this activity I can say that we

energy, because every little decisions needs to be thought thoroughly because if you
are not careful disaster awaits you. It is also costly since you need to buy a lot of things
that is needed to make this activity successful. We know that if you want to be

After the activity is finished, I feel tired but satisfied because I and we conquered
another mountain and it leaves us priceless memories and learning. I learned how to
handle stress and pressure better. And I learn how to be careful in making my decisions

life and each day, decision and plan making need to be improved. In the near future, we

have a business. I discovered that there are steps in doing this and it is not that too
easy. I learned to be strong not only physically but also mentally, logically, socially,
not succeed. There are challenges I encountered. I learned to face them bravely and
take the risks wisely. There were things prior to my knowledge seem right but I saw
them wrong when I came to the actual situation. These factors challenged my patience
and the way I think. I learned to extend my patience and to give a giant leap for me to
be an effective member of this business. I started to fix myself then I collaborated with

need to prepare for a month or two. If we don’t carefully plan every step it may lead to
Some also of our plans are not executed properly or there are changes of plan due to
some circumstances.
But overall, the business expo is a great opportunity for us to develop ourselves.
It takes a lot of effort and energy but I have so much fun. I felt very happy when our
customers are satisfied with our product especially to the drink (sunset tea) that I
personally made. All of the sleepless nights, trial and error just to prepare and find the

perfect taste for the drink which makes my stomach upset before the day of the expo
are nothing but just a challenge. The happiness I and my members felt covers all the
struggles we felt that time. The unity of our group, other teams and also because of the
