Nate - A Student with Many Talents

Nate -Management 101

Nate is a fellow-student in our Administrative Professional (AP) Program at South Hills School of Business & Technology. Nate has an amazing sense of humor, is nice to everyone, came up with word definitions in English when no one else could, and could talk off the top of his head while making presentations or participating in class skits.



Nate Captivating His Class With Humor
 

These pictures show Nate standing in front of our Management 101 class in the Fall Term of 2016.  Mr. Gates, our management teacher, would have us explain our understanding of a question at the end of each chapter after much discussion of each chapter in class. As you can see, Nate seems very happy to share his ideas to us. These pictures were taken October 12, 2016.

Another funny time earlier in Management 101, Mr. Gates created a skit that involved a ship with a captain and crew members who demonstrated different types of leadership. Mr. Gates made Nate the captain and the rest of our class was his team. Mr. Gates would ask Nate leadership questions and Nate would answer using nautical language. It was captivating to listen to their conversation back and forth. We felt as though we were truly out in the frightening ocean with our captain making hard decisions that would affect our lives. Also interesting was Nate's command of the nautical language.

A video would have been nice to remember a time in a customer service class where Nate could have been captured while he hilariously played the part of someone waiting to be interviewed for a job. The whole class was in stitches as he played out the role. While the interviewer tried to come up with questions, Nate continued his role with funny questions and answers.

Nate loves cars and could talk about any car problem you asked him. To get to school, Nate would walk or take the bus. He wanted to pay for his own car and waited until that was possible. One day, I was driving into State College via North Atherton Street and heard a horn honk. I looked to my left and saw Nate waving  as he sat behind the wheel of a neat-looking white sports car. He looked so happy. He was finally able to find a car of his dreams.
