I believe I deserve this grade because I had proper enunciation, volume. and body language. I feet I used time effectively and justified my answer well.  Most importantly, I worked on what Mrs.Ortega told me to work on from lesson 1 presentation.

What most worked for me what the way the presentation was organized. I feel that it help the audience understand my answer better, and helped me get my point across.

Blog 12: Mentorship 10 hours check



1.   Where are you doing your mentorship?
I am doing my mentorship at Kittrich Corporation.

2.   Who is your contact?
My mentor is Robert Friedland.

3.   How many total hours have you done (total hours should be reflected in your mentorship log located on the right hand side of your blog like your WB)?
I have done 35 hours of mentorship.

4.   Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.
Kittrich Corporation is a very successful company that dominates many product lines in the market. My mentor has assigned me to work with some of his top officers who are responsible for the success of the company. I have worked with different departments, but mostly with the product development department. Monica Decker, is the one in charge of the product development department. Everything thing, before it hits the market, has to go through her. I work with her making new products and sourcing new product lines that may be acquired.  I have had the opportunity to make crucial decisions, that if not taken correctly,  it may have caused the company lots of money.

Blog 11: Holiday Project Update


1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you do over the break with your senior project?
I, to start off, went to my mentorship and continued to work with his company. I also read many articles on entrepreneurship.com and read sections of the different entrepreneurship books I have. I also saw the show shark tanks which is a show of different entrepreneurs who go pitch their business to multibillionaire angel capitalist in search for help and potential funding. I went to different businesses and observed how there daily routines come about. 
2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why?  What was the source of what you learned?
I believe that everything is important because it is all part of the learning process. If it expands my knowledge and teaches me something I was not aware of, then it is important. But for the question, the most important thing was my mentorship because being able to get insight of how products are taken into the market is something many people do not have the opportunity to learn; it is also important because when I have my company I will know exactly how to contact the top retail stores.  The source of what I learned was Kittrich Corporation. 

3.  If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for your EQ, who would you talk to and why?

I would talk to, other that my mentor, owners or entrepreneurs of top world class companies. I would talk to them because they obviously know how to best turn a start up into a viable company.
