Blog 5: Project Reflection and Working EQ

The Pentagon: 
(1) Positive Statement: What positive thing happen as a result of what you have completed so far?
A positive thing that has happened to me is that i have learned so much more information that i hadn't learned at my mentorship but now i can go and ask her about things more in depth.

(2) EQ Content:  Pick a piece of research or your interview.  How has it helped you improve your understanding of your topic?
The piece of research that has helped me in the basic traditions. That article taught me some of the basic things i should know if i plan on giving other people the correct information about a quince.

(3) What has worked for you so far in the senior project?
One of the things that has worked for me are the research deadlines. Without them i know i wouldn't be doing my research but with this i know i have to do the work.

(4) What hasn't worked so far?  
What hasn't worked for me is successfully finding an interviewee, i've tried getting in contact with many people but they just don't return my calls.
(5) Finding Value:

  • What is a potential question you would like to study this year?  (working EQ) 
    • One EQ i think i would follow through with is "How can i have a successful Quince?"
  •  What do you plan to do for mentorship?  If you haven't found a mentor yet, then discuss where you are currently looking and who you are talking to to find it.  
    • I have a mentorship with my mom, she has a business that sells all of the things needed for a quince like the dress, bible, limos and more! I want to try to get another one at a event planning business.
