Blog 23: Senior Project Reflection

(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your block presentation and/or your senior project? Why?

    I am most proud of the overall outcome of my presentation, I feel as though all those months of mentorship and research really prepared me for that one moment where I went up and taught everyone what it was that I learned in those nine months.

(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your block presentation (self-assessment)?

AE       P          AP       CR       NC

b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?

AE       P          AP       CR       NC

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?

What worked for me in my senior project was really my mentorship, I learn better when I experience things hands on and that's exactly what I did there, and it furthered my knowledge on business and what it takes to run something successfully.

(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your senior project if you could go back in time?

What didn't work was my overall activity, I wish I had given myself more time to work on it, instead of preparing everything the day before because since my printer broke it wasn't easy coming up with a whole new activity in less than 24 hours.

(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?   Be specific and use examples.

The senior project has helped me with my future endeavors by helping me understand exactly what it takes to run a retail business and get a better understanding of what my degree will actually mean. I do plan on furthering this topic throughout college and seeing if there's a chance for me to work my way up in a company to corporate.

The most important thing I gained from this experience is just how much it really takes to run a store successfully, I learned this all through my mentor Amy, who showed me some of the ropes and duties that are required to run a store successfully.

This has helped me answer my EQ because I was able to find out exactly what is essential for becoming a successful retail franchise owner. It really taught me everything that is needed in order for me to run  a retail business and how to make sure that I maintain the success of that business as well.
