Your job is to describe one or two personal experiences that relate to Eric and Cam trying to sell chocolate bars and rice cakes door to door. Have you ever tried to raise money for a club or school this way? How did you feel during this experience? Share your experiences with the group and ask for other group members to describe a situation that may be similar to this one.

I remember being a girl scout and trying to see cookies. I never went door to door because my mom felt it was unsafe, but I did have to call everyone I knew to try and sell them cookies. This made me very uncomfortable. I always felt bad trying to sell stuff to people, but I understand that it was for a good cause. I also remember selling candy bars and wrapping paper for school. I never competed for prizes or to try and sell the most. I just sold enough to say that I sold something. I was never comfortable approaching people, especially to ask them for something. I never wanted to ask, I always tried to make my mom do the selling for me. I am glad I don't have to sell anything anymore.
