(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your Block Presentation and/or your senior project? Why?

I am most proud that I made time, and I engaged my class with my activity. I felt that many were interested because they participated and some volunteered to give what they felt about the activity. Also because passing showed that in the 9 months leading up to this I want just sitting around but doing what was asked by me. 


(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Block Presentation (self-assessment)?

AE       P          AP       CR       NC

I give myself a P-

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

AE       P          AP       CR       NC

I would give myself an Ap+

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

The one thing that worked for me is finding mentorship. There are many landscapers in California hundreds actually. So mentorship was one thing that worked. 

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

I would have taken my 30 min presentation a little more serious and focused more on making my first answer as solid as possible. 

(5) Finding Value

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

It has helped me realize that no matter what profession you chose to pursue, choosing a profession you love will make everything so much easier. It also helped me realize to be an expert in your profession researching and studing it is essential. Just like researching and studying your topic was essential in making this project.

     What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
  • The most important thing I gained from this experience was that in any business its hard to get going and make profits. Money is an important issue that should be covered kept good track of. Also being an expert in your field takes years of experience and cannot be covered in one day.    
   Applied
     How has what you’ve done helped you to answer your EQ?  Please explain.
  • What I have done really has helped me because I am working in a landscaping environment. Every hour of mentorship I attend the more I learn. My mentor has over 15years experience and teaches me what I need to know in order to answer my EQ by putting me in situations. For example he has me quote houses and then tells me the real cost to show me how important it is to quote a house. Getting a price wrong can make you lose profit. Part of my EQ involves profit so mentorship does help so much in answering my EQ.
