Month of May blog post

            Well just got my senior presentation over and done with. The question now though is what do I do? I mean all my life I have been waiting for the moment to graduate and now that it's over what is in store for me. Well even though my senior project is over and done with I still decided to show up to mentorship to speak with my mentor about actually getting a job in the office. To my surprise he had already known what I was going to ask of him. So the agreement we made was to get licensed asap and as soon as I get my P&C, life & health, along with the CISR if I'm still interested in doing insurance, my career will soon begin as I enter college at the same time. This project has been a long and tedious one but in the end has proven itself very useful in applying myself to the real world. Thanks goes out to the senior team, the school, and everybody who has helped me be where I am at now. Hopefully in a few years from now I can look back at these monthly blog posts and say my success has finally been met. Well goodbye to my last and final month of whatever post and good luck to everyone going their separate ways.

Senior Project Reflection

(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your Block Presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
- What I feel like I was able to accomplish throughout my presentation was that I was able to engage my audience throughout the presentation, and I was surprised to see how many people really took my activity seriously even the people that usually don't take me seriously seemed really engaged about what I was talking about. This is my opinion made me feel pretty good especially when a few people were able to walk out of my presentation saying "I actually learned something from you".

(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Block Presentation (self-assessment)?

b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?

AE       P          AP       CR       NC

(3) What worked for you in your senior project? 
     - what worked for me is the topic I was dealt with because even it wasn't the most entertaining topic I did feel like a learned quite a bit and the fact that was able to somehow make it appeal to my audience seemed to make it natural due to all the information I was given on how to be an effective leader.

(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would have you done differently to improve your senior project if you could go back in time? -
     - What I feel didn't work for me is that I felt like I left out a lot of information out. The reason being that I knew I had already met time but I wanted to make sure that I was able to give my class enough time to do their activity so I ended up rushing myself. I wish I could somehow seen the time to calculate how much more I should speak.

(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?   Be specific and use examples.

    -It has been helpful to me in applying myself to my future goals and visions because eventually in my lifetime I would like to be seen as a huge role model to be looked up to, and because of this topic and the mentor I had I was able to understand that the only way that could be done is by educating yourself and really applying yourself to the real world whether it being about insurance or about the business world in general.

    - What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why? The most important thing I had gained throughout my entire mentorship at golden compass was the knowledge I had gained on insurance and the sacrifices you had to endure in order to make yourself a good role model for your employees to follow. This was important to me because I have always wanted to start my own business since I was relatively young and after having first hand experience with my mentor and attending a few seminars myself I feel as if I'm more confident now to start learning a few things on the business world.

     How has what you’ve done helped you to answer your EQ?  Please explain.
- What I have done has helped me answer my EQ because the best way to motivate an insurance team to a profitable end is to really become one with your employees and within your business it pretty much is a family you have to treat each and every one of your employees with respect and reward them when reward is do. Chances are if you do affirm them they will return the favor.
