Blog 4 Interview

1.  Who do you plan to interview?  Why?
 I plan on interviewing my soon-to-be mentor Araceli Mendez. Since mt topic has to do with how you start a busines from the ground up. She has done this and is making her living off of that.


2.  You have to ask 5 questions.  What additional questions do you plan to ask? 
-How did you come about to start your business?
-Starting off where there times where you thought this wasn't possible to accomplish?
-When it comes to funds does all of your income come from your income? If so does it apply to the whole family?
-What are some sacrifices that you had to make to be where you are today?
-Does this in any way, as in your buisness, affect your family's life?

Blog 3: Topic Choice and Semester 1 ESLR Goals

1.) Running/starting a successful business

2.)

• To improve my skills on being an effective learner while working on my topic is quite challenging yet easy to do at the same time. I would have to listen to everything my mentor says and does and observe how to create her ways and make them my own.
• To become a more effective communicator is rather easy. While doing my hours I had the chance to talk to many different customers and ask why they chose to come so often. Which really helped me being able to talk to others with confidence. I only hope to grow upon this.
• To improve my skills in using technology I would create power points and such when presenting or while doing hours if customers want something new I will show a slideshow of her work and ask if they would like anything new.
• To become a better I-poly citizen is harder for me since I'm not really comfortable leaving my social group but am able to talk to others naturally I only hope to improve my social awkwardness at times and make others time here as fun as mine.

3.) Did I chose the right place to do my hours? Is this going to help me in the future?

4.) To run a successful business you need to be there all the time and to focus on your work before hand.

5.) My mentor ship didn't help me necessarily choose my topic, because I had already decided my senior project topic before I started the mentor ship. More like gave me a road to follow to get things done.
