Working EQ

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

       A Positive thing that has happened to me as a result of what I have completed so far is I have expanded my knowledge of my topic. Also, with the help of my interview with Vicky Smith, I have learned where I can look into for my next interviews.

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

 

       One thing that has helped me improve my understanding of my topic is my interview with Vicky Smith.  She helped me understand what to expect if I decide to become a horse trainer.  She also gave me other resources to refer to so I can truly understand what my topic entails.

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

 

       One thing that has worked for me so far in my senior project is the willingness of people to help me with what I need.  I have found people that I can interview and hopefully one of them will be able to be my mentor.

 

(4) What hasn't worked so far?

 

       One thing that hasn't worked so well for me in my senior project is the amount of research I am able to find.  There is tons of research on my topic. But the problem is that it is mostly the same information over and over.  Also, a lot of the information I find is irrelevent to what I need. 

(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 questions about the instructions relating to the senior project)?

             What does it take to be a great and well known horse trainer? 

• What is your end 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 end goal is to end the school year with not only knowledge of my topic, but also to spend more time with my horse and apply the knowledge that I was given.  I will use the knowledge in my every day life with my horse.  Who knows? Maybe I might even get an internship or job out of it.

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

             I don't know a specific person I would like to talk to next, but I do know I want to talk to either an Equine Veterinarian or a Ferrier.  They would help me widen my knowledge of my topic and also help me narrow down what I want to focus on since my topic has so many different things.
