Houston Aeros!!

On Friday our sports & entertainment marketing class were in Downtown Houston to job shadow with the Houston Aeros. It was a really fun & interesting experience. When we arrived we were a little early so we went to starbucks & hung out there for a while. Then around ten thirty we went back upstairs with the people of the Houston Aeros & met most of the staff & talked with them.Gabriel, who is in charge of the game operations, talked to us about how his job is & how he got that spot. What i learned from him is if you really want something focus on it & put your mind to it & like he said "work really hard for it." When we had our "free time" :) we went down to the food court & got something to eat. After we were done with our lunch Danielle, Clarence, & I stayed together & we had fun the whole time & were just acting a fool between us three:). We walked around the mall about four times & went into some stores & looked around at the things they had. After like the fourth time around the mall we decided to go a different way & went to a different lobby looking place, took the escalator downstairs & the spinning door outside:D When we came back inside to the building I came up with the idea of playing hide & go-seek:) Danielle & I kinda figured after a while that it wouldnt work but Clarance had left already & texted us to go too, so we went.When we saw him we kinda power walked lol & went inside of Starbucks! Clarance walked right by the store & didnt even see us we saw him walking straight & clueless, we just started laughing. Once we got back with the group he was the only one missing so we had to go look for him. When we were all together we left & went to a "park" we sat for a while but then we decided to play freeze tag. It was really fun the whole class played, ran, & in the end we were exhausted & some even hot! Once we were inside of the Toyota Center we were with Pam Sneider & she gave us a tour of the Toyota Center & walked us around where they work & where the press is. We also got a chance to be close to the ice & watch the players warm-up. Once the game started we got to our seats & watched:) it was really fun & cool I had never attended a hockey game before.This field trip was something i would of never thought i'd get a chance in doing. Im really glad i was able to go. I had so much fun that i like laughed the whole day.
