Blog 23: Senior project presentation

(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your block presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
Overall I'm really proud of my lecture content. I really feel that I gave solid information and cited my sources very well throughout. I presented as if I wasnt nervous at all which also helped me in assuring my presentaion would be clear. I'm usually one to speak a million miles a minute but I had to constantly remind myself to speak very slowly so it didn't sound too crazy and everybody could follow along. I'm very proud that I did a good job at that.

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
What worked for me was definitely having an amazing mentor to guide me throughout the year and fill me with the knowledge I wouldn't have gotten otherwise. Without her I wouldn't have been as prepared as I was. Amy, my mentor, taught me so much more than I thought I would have ever learned going through this senior project. She is essentially where I got most of my information from and what made me that much more passionate about my topic. 

(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?
I honestly don't believe anything didn't work. I went through my senior project very smoothly without any bumps in the road. The only thing I would've done differently is perhaps practicing one more time just to make sure I wasn't stuttering and saying all of of the correct information. 
(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?   Be specific and use examples.
If I was doubting by any means before that business management was my passion, it is not anymore. Researching this whole year more into this topic has guaranteed my happiness will rely on going to school and studying for this. It has given me so much more experience than most kids my age can say they have, and will definitely give me an advantage. I can already see how studying this for my senior project has helped me. I want to apply to as many retail jobs as possible and having all this background knowledge on business management in retail has put me ahead of others who might apply to the same job, even if they have more work experience than I do.  As much as senior project has been a pain in the butt I'm super happy and thankful to have gotten this opportunity in preparing me for my future.
