Blog 10: Senior Project: The Holiday
1. It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school. What did you over the break with your senior project?
During break i tried getting in touch with different places i can do my independent component with and only one has answered and said it would be ok for me to go in for as long as i need. I also went to do mentorship hours for 2 days which is about 6 hours total.
2. What was the most important thing you learned from what you did and why? What was the source of what you learned? The most important thing i learned was to do stuff on time. I have called many places and only one has answered so that is saying that i need to do stuff ahead on time so i wont be stuck with nothing at the end. Calling those places is the source.
3. If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers of your EQ, who would you talk to and why? I would talk to an event planner because my topic is how to run a successful event planning business. I would ask them what has kept their business growing and what they do for it to grow.

November Blog
This past month I've been going to my mentorship, with my mom at A&R Creations. During our interview she told me that around this time business started going up because many people started to go in to start new contracts for the upcoming year. At first I didn't believe her because it would make sense that business went down with all the holiday spending but I've seen that transaction of business change during this whole month and I've gotten much more practice of dealing with families planning a quince.

Blog 9: EQ
I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ
a.What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss ? This EQ would be more efficient if we were told who they were targeting and how that person planned doing so.
b.What is most important factor to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation? Including more detail into the EQ would make it easier to work with and to understand. Try to include what the crime was, who did the crime and where it took place.
c.What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer? Since trends change it would be helpful to include the year. Also, what age group you are targeting and the occasion it is you are creating the hairstyle for.
d.How can an Anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain? We need to know what part of the body is being treated. Alos, the treatment process you plan on using.
3 "How can a Latin-American family throw a contemporary quince while honoring tradition."

3. What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ?
The most important source I've used is my mom, Rosy Nunez who was my summer mentor. Going along with her to work she showed me what people asked for and what the meaning to everything was.
4. Who is your mentor, or where are you volunteering, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?

Independent Component 1 Approval
1. Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
For my 30 hours i have two options the first one is finding an even planner, hopefully they have a quince coming up so i can go with them to most of the preparation like meeting with clients and finding out what they want. If i cant get in contact with someone i can do that with i will go to a party hall and help them arrange everything needed for a quince.
2. Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence. I will show proof by taking pictures of the whole process, if i can i also plan on getting a contract from the hall owner.
3. And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth. By doing this i will have a feel for what event planning is. If i can get an event planner to work with it will show me everything because she helps the family stay on budget starting with the dress to what they will serve, while working with a hall worries more about the day of the event.
