January Extra Blog Post
It's been slow at mentorship. There hasn't been much business lately at the kiosk, but hopefully it'll pick up. I haven't been getting as many hours as usual, but hopefully I'll get to work more soon. So far, I'm doing pretty well on my mentorship hours. In one of my previous blog posts, I said that my mentor's sales were dropping, but maybe I will try to offer some input on how to improve sales.

Blog 11: Holiday Project Update
1. It is important to
consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in
school. What did you do over the break
with your senior project?
Yes it is important that you constantly work on your project
since there is a lot of information to be gathered. I put in some hours with my
mentor this break.
2. What was the most
important thing you learned from what you did, and why? What was the source of what you learned?
I learned that the time of season doesn't necessarily affect
sales, for example the Christmas season, sales were expected to be high but
they did not turn out to be. My mentor was my main source since I spent most of
my hours with him.
3. If you were going
to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for your EQ, who
would you talk to and why?
I would talk to my mentor since he is very knowledgeable on
business, I think he would be able to answer my questions and help me.

Blog 9: Lesson 1 Reflection
1. I'm most proud of the fact that people seemed to enjoy my overall presentation as well as the props I brought in since they are very important part of my topic.
2. I would give myself an AP because I covered the basis of the rubric and was able to maintain time. Also because I believe I thoroughly discussed what my topic was about as well as my mentorship.
3. What worked for me was the fact that I was forced to memorize my lesson although there were some parts I was weak on it still made me focus more.
4. What didn't work was that I should have used the camera to display pictures of my mentorship to more thoroughly explain what I do and what the business looks like. I think electronics should be allowed.

Extra October Post
For my extra blog post I wanted to give some brief background on my mentor since he is only twenty five years old and since his story is quite interesting.
His name is Alex Ahmed and he is from Egypt, he is 25 years old and he is the owner of a kiosk at Ontario Mills mall where I do my mentorship. So when he was around 20 yrs old he started his first business in Egypt as a broker where people would go to him to sell houses, car, electronics, etc. He had a Facebook page dedicated to this where people would meet via the internet. When he turned 24 he came to America with now job or American education. He was very broke at the time, so with help from his family oversees he started a small business of creams that belonged to his sister at Ontario Mills. This business was steady up about 4 months in when sales dropped. He then changed the products he was selling to toys. Sales have been steady since and he has opened another kiosk in Irvine where he sells the same products.
