Blog 13: Lesson 2 Reflection

1. The thing I am most proud of in my presentation is that I felt like I was able to get a majority (I hope everyone) interested in my topic and was able to grab their attention. Also, it was good to get a few laughs throughout the presentation as well.

2. A. I feel like I derserve a P on my presentation.
    B. I may not have cited my sources, but I think I said a lot of good information and got my point across.

3. I think my activity worked out better than I thought it would. At first, I thought less people would participate, but I got a few people to participate and it went well.

4. I would rehearse my PowerPoint more so I can give out my information out more smoothly.

5. My answer #2 would be grow close relationships with your customers, get to know them better.

Blog 12: Mentorship 10 Hours

1. I do my mentorship at JPM Comics in Glendora.

2. My contract is Jason Cox who is an employee at JPM, and has been working there for 8 years now.

3. I do not know exactly how many hours I have, but I should have a close count to around 40 hours. That is way past 10 hours.

4. During my mentorship I have learned to close down the store, learned some background on it, how to use the register, how to return comics, still in the process on learning how to order comics, how to interact with customers and to give the best service possible, how to restock the comics on the shelves, and have done other small things here and there.

Blog 11: Holiday Project Update

1. I think it is good to work on senior project during both breaks or when we have school. It really depends when you have available time to do your senior project, because you may be busy doing fun stuff over break or stuck during homework during school. During my break, I went to mentorship twice and did my usual four hours and actually extended it to 5 hours. 2 pm - 7pm.

2. When doing my senior project over break, I learned somewhat of how to close down the store once it is time to close (which is 7 pm). I am planning to learn how to open up the store next after I learned everything about closing down.

3. I would do my ten question interview for my EQ on my new mentor, Jason Cox. I have gotten to know him very well and we work great together too. It will also give me a chance to get a little more depth from him corresponding my EQ.

December Extra Blog

I officially meant the owner of the store, Pierre, and he is very kind and helpful. I still have to meet Pierre's wife then I would have met every employee at my mentorship. Since my mentor Kevin has been away for sometime now due to an leg injury. The guy I've been working, Jason Cox, has agreed to be my mentor until (and if) Kevin does return.

I am still learning new things around the shop. Just like recently, I learned how to close down the store. I went to mentorship on a Tuesday instead of a Sunday like I usually do. I also learned how to make gift certificates and how to put names on layaway for customers.

The past few weeks have been pretty slow unlike most weeks I have been going. It gives me more time to ask questions to Jason while not doing anything at times.

November Extra Blog

This past month I haven't been with my mentor. My mentor has had an injury that has been him out of work for the past couple of weeks and will be back in a couple of more. So in the meantime, I have been mentoring with another employ named Jason Cox. Jason is very helpful with my mentoring and helping get my hours done. A month ago is when I actually first met him too.

I'm putting the hours with Jason as my independent component hours until Kevin is once again well and back at the store. I am also watching shows/movies about comic books, and reading comics and learning some history about comics, to go towards my independent component as well.

Blog 10: EQ

1. I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ.

2.

• A. This EQ does provide some good frame by telling us what we can research on losing weight loss. As for the second rule, it can be a good way to explain why a healthy weight loss is good. It gets to the point, but I feel like it is too simple.

• B. For the format I feel it is pretty standard and it flows. Can make some good arguments out of it. I feel like a lot of research can go into this.

• C. All these questions seem like the same with just different topics. This questions seems to fill in the needs of the the rule of three for a essential question.

• D. This EQ is too small and seems too largely ranged for research. It can be more straight forward on what it wants to talk about and that will make it better.

3. What is the best way to gain customer satisfaction for your comic store?

Everything seemed to go smoothly for Lesson 1. There seemed to be no problems and I gathered a lot of information that helped me answer my working EQ.

I liked what I did with my Lesson 1. I don't think I would change anything about it.
