Final Reflection Questions​: ​The following should also be expounded upon in c​ omplete sentences​.

1. While writing your paper, what did you learn about the research process?
2. How was the research related to your mentor hours?
3. Summarize the mentor hours that you completed.
During my mentor I helped my mentor clean up his work site after a long rain period. During this
I saw how much time it takes for a contractor to prepare a site to be sold. During this process they
discovered that there was a pipe that burst and they might not be able to work on that land in the
future.
4. How did working with your mentor affect your understanding of the topic area and /or the professional
world?
It made me understand how much work goes into being a contractor and how much time it takes
for projects to be done.
a. If you mentor was not directly related to your topic, what did you learn about the profession that
can be translated to any future professional setting?
It translates a lot to and everyday work environment because you have to answer calls and
go into a workplace everyday​.
b. If your mentor contributed to the development of the product, how were they involved?
They did not contribute.
5. How did creating a product and completing the hours challenge you personally?
It challenged me to go out and actually help build in different sites and help houses that have been
through flood damage.
6. Do you feel prepared academically and emotionally for the presentation? ​Yes
a. If not, why? What challenges do you still face to feel prepared?
7. How did the entire process “stretch” you as a learner and as an individual?
It made me do research on things that I normally never research.
8. Other than time management, describe an obstacle you encountered and how you overcame it.
My product was changed and it kind of through me off guard but I managed to eventually come to
a conclusion about what must be done.
9. What “life skills” did you acquire and how will they help you in the future?
Being patient with people who tend to be if and not knowing what they want.
10. If you had to go back and do parts of the project again, what would you do differently?
I would choose a more reasonable product that is able to be completed in the amount of time
given.
11. Based on the entire Pride Project experience, do you plan to pursue this field as a career or college area
of study? If so, why? If not, why? Please be specific.
When I began I honestly felt like I could have a future in real estate but now that I have seen what
my mentor goes through with calls and angry customers and having to change to meet what the
customer wants. I have decided that real estate is not for me.
