Catalysis: Making things go, faster!

Yo, so a few weeks back, maybe more than a month ago, I got to go to an info meeting thing about this group calle Global Vision, the things they do, and the opportunities they have for students.

A lot of what they do is Foreign Trade Missions so there was a lot of stuff about business and economics and stuff.

We were separated into groups for a challenge. We were to do some branding. See what our group could offer and then pitch / sell ourselves.

Since I was in Biochem and the rest of the team was commerce, business, finance, etc, they chose to go with the scientific aspect as our selling point as the majority of the room was also in those other business majors.

So below is the rough outline of our presentation and my bit about the name of our group: Catalysis.

"
1. Team introductions. (individual)
2. Explaination of what our group can offer. (Trevor)
3. Explain what Catalysis is. (Dylan)

As I mentioned earlier, I am studying biochemistry and you may be wondering, what is Catalysis? The word comes from a biological process, so let me give you a short explaination.

Speaking from the point of biological systems, when you try to build a macromolecule, try to make the large useful compounds necessary for the well being, survival and growth of the organism, there are many barriers to this happening; energy, concentration, location, and others.

But when you add a catalyst, those barriers are overcome. The process that may not have happened or had gone slowly before will rapidly advance forward leaving little but the desired products.

This is what our group does with our skill set and knowledgable background; we make things go, faster.

Whether it is international or right here in Canada: we can give you the opportunities to catalyze your ambitions and get things going.

Yep. As irrelevant as much of what I sat through there was to my program, it was pretty cool. The speakers talked a lot about the global stage and how things that happen here in our city, affect what happens in our country, and even the world.

"Everything we do in this city / this country is linked to what is happening in Asia and Europe and the world"

And that's pretty cool. But really awesome to see how true it is. Like my friend DL is gonna go back to China after his exchange is finished, but unlike when he got here, he'll be going back with a new hope and joy and abundance of life through his relationship with Jesus. Through the little things we have done here in Ottawa, God chose to work and reveal His glory and now He can do that again when DL goes back and shares the gospel with friends and family.

=D

I was at that event because they ar woking with Parks Canada and have the 'Youth Ambassador' program, which sounds amazing and would count as co-op this summer. Lol. So that'd be awesome, but I don't know if that's what I should be doing this summer. I mean, I want to experience a different city or ttravel during the summer, but the point of me doing co-op was to see if Sciemtific jobs is where I should be going or not...

Dunno.

Lol
