The Article “How a rookie can start off their career right,” talks about how each year a new class of the National Basketball Association gather for a four-day orientation called the Rookie Transition Program. Throughout the program different topics are discussed such as “How to be a professional, how to make the most of every opportunity through preparation, how to manage your money and how to manage your reputation.” This article relates to any first year, including business students in the sense that although were not future NBA stars, we have to represent ourselves the same way discussed throughout the article. As a rookie in any sport, school, profession, or in an activity, people have to decide whom they want to be perceived as. This also includes how you represent yourself through social media as a positive person.  Making a mistake in today’s society can result in huge consequences because social media is often involved, meaning anyone can see what happened.   A mistake that a person posts on social media could jeopardize ones academics, athletics and profession. This relates to how people have to act in a business environment, not only do they have to represent themselves in a positive, important way but also represent their business or corporation with high importance and responsibility.
