1. Positive Statement:
I am actually proud of many things:
I was extremely proud of overall pulling and executing my activity and presentation together. I was proud of how my activity with the flower arrangements resulted in students having amazing feedback. I am proud that I did a project that is relevant to my life and my family business. I am ultimately proud that I will be able to use this project and implement it into my life when I go on to college.
2. Questions to Consider:
A. I would give myself an AE for my block presentation.
B. I would give myself an AE for my overall senior project.
3. What worked for you in your senior project?
In my senior presentation-
My activity worked, which was actually initially my biggest concern. Teaching how to be a florist in 10 minutes is really hard, it took me 2 whole months and I am still not a master now. But luckily my class actually listened to my third answer and when it was time for the activity I walked around to help. My content lecture also worked, I provided debriefs and sources after each answer to bring all the ideas together. I also think students loved my memes/puns, it kept them engaged and since it was a morning presentation I needed something like that to wake my students up. Lastly, I placed students in season groups with their friends.
In my overall senior project-
The fact that I worked with my parents as my mentors, in a comfortable environment.
4. What did not work for you in your senior project?
In my senior presentation-
I think mostly everything worked, if I had feedback from my students on what did not work that would have been helpful.One picture did not show up on a slide.
In my senior project-
Deadlines did not work for me, but that's a "me" problem.
5. Finding Value
This senior project has been helpful in getting me a job. Starting in the summer, my parents will add me to their pay roll sheets and make me an official employee so I can start paying for college.
I do not need to work in the fast food industry, I finally have a skill that I can actually use in the workplace. Speaking of skills: customer service, employee management, floriology and marketing.
Even though my future major in college does not consist of business, after doing this project I want to do a minor in Business. With a minor in Business I will be able to start my own company and become a CEO (my dream career!).

Answer 2
1. What is your EQ?
How can a fruit and flower shop owner-manager best organize and grow her family business?
2. What is your first thesis sentence answer?
Ensure that both Sweet Fruit Arrangements and Sweet Flower Arrangements stores meet 1800Flowers expectations of ordering and delivering processes.
3. What is your second thesis sentence answer?
Employees should be hired and trained to meet 1800Flowers expectations on producing the arrangements.
4. List 3 reasons your answer is true with real world applications:
1. When the employee doesn't understand how to properly create an arrangement. An employee should be trained to be able to create a fruit and flower arrangement, its too difficult just to observe and start making the product, which could lead to many errors for new employees. This also entails understanding how to clean and cut the stems of the flowers and fruit.
2. When the employee doesn't understand how Bloomnet processes work. Bloomnet is the online wire by which we receive orders. I believe every employee should understand how to use Bloomnet online service so that when an order comes in last minute they are able to respond efficiently. Especially, when we receive messages through the wire for cancelations or adjustments, employees need to understand how to read them.
3. When the employee doesn't understand the kinds of arrangements and names of fruits and flowers used. 1800Flowers sends their own books with a huge variety of arrangements. These are the arrangements that a consumer choses from 1800Flowers.com. So when the customer orders the arrangement an employee would have to look through the book to find out how many flowers are in the arrangement, what container we are using, what it looks like, etc. One of the biggest parts of this job is remembering the many names of the flowers, fruits and arrangements.
5. What printed source best supports your answer?
Gitman, Lawrence J., and Carl D. McDaniel. ʺChapter 12.ʺ The Future of Business: The Essentials. Mason, OH: Thomson South-Western, 2008. N. pag. Print
6. What other source supports your answer?
Gutierrez, Lisa. ʺBusiness is Blooming: Florists Need Flowers, Creativity--and a Whole Lot of Muscle.ʺ Career World, a Weekly Reader Publication, 38.3 (2009): 11-15.
7. Concluding Thoughts:
I drafted this answer while working in the store for my Independent Component 1 and my Interview 3 with my second mentor was also an inspiration. I have worked in the store as an employee for many years and now with this project I observe real world applications as stated above. My first answer was specifically related to order and delivery processes, now my second answer is specific to employees. The only way to organize and grow our business is to start from the bottom with the employees and work towards the top. If they don't function efficiently we will not be able to successful at organizing the business.

Lesson 2 Reflection
Content:

I feel like I deserve this grade because I made all the P Requisites. I had a nice and visible EQ poster with a flower arrangement and chocolate covered strawberries. I had an engaging activity which was related to my project and mentorship and gave insights to the audience on what I do at my mentorship on a daily basis. I know my speech was fast paced but I asked for reflections and the audience said they could still understand what I was saying.
3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
My activity and prezi where on theme of time and it was presented in an organized manner so the audience could follow along.
4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
Talk slowly and take a few breaks.
5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?
Improve relationship between owner-manager and employees.

Lesson 1 Reflection
Content:
1. Positive Statement
What are you most proud of in your Lesson 1 Presentation and why?
I was organized with my speech, I addressed everything I wrote on the Final Lesson Plan.
2. Questions to Consider
a. What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 1 Presentation (self-assessment)?
AE P AP CR NC
b. Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 1 component contract.
I made time (8:33). I spoke of everything on my lesson plan in an organized matter. I added aspects of my mentorship and references from my 3 sources (including one reference in the intro). I had all the P considerations. My rough and final drafts were turned in on time. I was prepared on the stage with all my materials, I had an interactive intro where people raised their hands. I used my poster as a prop (which I asked Ortega if it was a prop and she said yes). My poster had my working EQ on it with paintings of roses to make the relation of our stores and the question. I removed my poster and cleaned the stage when it was time for the next presenter. I am writing this reflection blog on time. My voice was loud and I made eye contact. I made references to my mentorship and mentor. I showed application of my research with the use of my words. I was also wearing professional attire.
3. What worked for you in your Lesson 1?
The working EQ poster worked.
4. (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 1?
I would bring an extra prop, but then I would fear the time in talking about the prop.
