What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
-The most important thing I gained from this experience is the knowledge about running a business, many times people think that a business is just selling things or providing a good or service but I realized through my mentorship  that a business is made up of so many things like customer service, supply and demand, and many more. My mentor showed me that a business is suppose to pay for itself. I think that's important because when I first started mentorship I knew nothing and thought everything was just easy going but with throughout the year I was able to generate an essential question and three answers for that question.

How has what you’ve done helped you to answer your EQ? Please explain.
-The hours I spent at mentorship at first was just helping around my mentors business but then as I progressed my mentor involved me more in the business aspect of everything. He actually showed me the businesses finances and why its important to have loyal customers and pretty much all my answers to my EQ. For example a sales pitch, when selling toys you need a certain style of sales pitch because a toy is different then if you were selling beauty products, for beauty products you would need a very professional approach with a longer pitch and for toys you don't need to be professional because the product are toys and most of the people attracted to that are kids. The pitch also doesn't need to long but rather a shorter version is better because most people know what that is.
