Working EQ

The Pentagon:

(1) Positive Statement: What positive thing has happened as a result of what you have completed so far?

      A positive thing that has happened as a result of what I have completed of the senior project so far is that I have learned to appreciate the field of a hair dresser and a nail artist, especially the workers themselves. It has also helped me learn how to style mine and other people's hair better.

(2) EQ Content: Pick a piece of research or your Interview. How Has it helped you improve your understanding of your topic?

      The article called "How To Choose the Right Hair Style For Your Face Shape" by David Alexander and my interview helped improve on the understanding of my topic by showing me that there are many things to consider when styling someone's hair. It is important to recognize certain features on the client to give the a hair style that is compliments the features and face shape.

(3) What has worked for you so far in the senior project?

      What has worked for me so far is the mentorship and the interview. With the mentorship has shown me first hand what one has to do in a salon. It has shown me the point of view of the hair stylist and the client. The interview has shown me more of what a cosmetologist has to go through in order to do their job properly.

(4) What hasn't worked so far?

      What hasn't worked so far is also the interview because it's hard to determine what is really like for a cosmetology because this is only one person. Different salons have different environments and because of this it may also be different for the workers. 

(5) Finding Value: Based on your Experience so far,

• What possible question or questions come to mind regarding what you would like to study this year (don't list instructions related to the senior project)?

          The biggest question that come to mind is, what type of things and experiences do I need to learn in order to qualify for a cosmetology licence? As I become more and more involved with the senior project, the more I consider becoming a cosmetologist as a career.

• What is your goal this year with your senior project (don't say get a good grade or gain knowledge, put specific things you want to accomplish in your senior project this year)?

           My goal this year with my senior project is to have hands- on experience in the field of cosmetology. With this experience I can take a cosmetology class to try and get a practicing licence. This could be a career that I would hopefully come to enjoy doing so much that I want to get into the field.

• Who would you like to talk to you next? Why?

           I would like to talk to my first two mentors next because the first time I wasn't able to get an interview with one of them in the end. Besides this reason, my first interview recommended  them to me.
