Blog #4: Project Reflection and Working EQ

A: What positive thing happened as a result of what you have completed so far?

  • A positive thing that has definitely helped me for the end is the contact that Mrs. La Russa gave me to a pastry chef she knows of. That contact is something I will surely use to improve what I already know and to learn more about my topic.


B: Pick a piece of research or your interview. How has it helped you improve you understanding of your topic?

  • I think that my first interview was really helpful because she gave me 2 contacts; one to a professional pastry chef and another to a bakery worker. Both of them would also expand what I already know about the pastry chef world. Also, I learned about different classes I should consider taking, so I definitely learned more about my topic.



C: What has worked for you so far in the senior project?

  • What has worked for me in my senior project is looking up specific pastry chefs in my research and seeing how their creativity made them so famous in the industry. I get really inspired by their story and seeing the images of their works amazes me so much, that it makes me more excited for my senior project to come together.

D: 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?
   - What is your end goal this year with your senior project?
   - Who would you like to talk to next? Why?

  • One question on what I want to study this year is if I should consider taking a business major so that actually know how to own a business when I am ready to open my own bakery.
  • The end goal for my senior project is knowing what being a pastry chef takes, and also concluding if I should take a business major.
  • The person I would like to talk to next is the contact Mrs. La Russa gave me, Deb Swartz, because I do know that she owns a bakery and I would love to talk to her about what is like to own the business and about how she came up with the concepts behind her recipes.
