Blog 19: Senior Project and ESLRs

1. What ESLR have you excelled in most in your senior project?
I think out of all of the ESLRs, the one I have excelled the most in has to be communication.

2. Please explain why you think you have excelled in this ESLR.
I can honestly say that senior year has been a drag so far and I haven't really excelled at much, but if I had to pick one it would be communication.

3. Provide evidence from your senior project to support your claim (evidence is a photo of something you are doing, photo of something you made, etc).
In my mentorship I must act professional because I am working with customers and I represent someones business. During R.O.P I help the students when they have questions and I have to effectively communicate to them how to achieve what they want.
