Culminating Blog Reflection

I used critical thinking by thinking about what time I was going to meet up with my mentor. At first it wasn't so easy because I had other things in my life that I had to complete also, so i kind of set things to the side. My communication wasn't used that much in the beginning of my project because im kind of a shy person. I didn't collaborate with him because i am not experienced to do so. Also i didn't want to collaborate because i didn't want to be judged also the fact that i don't like people saying stuff about me.


Throughout my capstone project I learned the 4 main objectives, the order for the routine my mentor uses with his customers. He showed me the catalogs he shows the customers. It just asks personal questions and that way my mentor knows who to match the customer up with. I learned to become more social with people. For example, I got a chance to interview a few people around the gym, just simply asked them questions about the gym and their fitness goals.


I also learned that I DO NOT want to pursue this career because it doesn't fit in with me. I'm interested more in mechanical engineering and i am planning to attend Skyline College for 2 years. After those 2 years i will transfer to a CSU called Northridge University in Los Angeles. Although, I did enjoy working with my mentor because I learned something new in life.



The biggest challenge I faced in my capstone project was procrastination. I overcame this problem simply by doing the work when I got it assigned. I did not put it to the side like i used to do with my other homework. My other problem was time management. I overcame this by setting a calendar and adding the events I was going to do on the specific date.
