(1) Positive Statement
What are you most proud of in your Block Presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
-I'm most proud of my slideshow presentation. I feel like I did a good job putting it together. I didn't overwhelm the audience with a lot of text. I added a lot of photos and was able to talk about the pictures rather than have a ton of bulletpoints on the slides.
(2) Questions to Consider
a. What assessment would you give yourself on your Block Presentation (self-assessment)?
AE P AP CR NC
b. What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?
AE P AP CR NC
(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
-My mentorship worked a lot for me. I was able to get so much useful information just by going to the venue. I got to do a lot of hands on things, especially after going through my independent components.
(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would have you done differently to improve your senior project if you could go back in time?
-I would have found a more effective way to find research. It was really hard for me to find a lot of good research, especially because my topic isnt one that is all over the internet, or has papers or articles written on it.
(5) Finding Value
How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors? Be specific and use examples.
-I can say that I've met a lot of people that I probably would have never taken the time to get to know. This is a good thing for me because I now have people I can get in contact with in the music industry.

(3) What problems did you face? How did you resolve them?
-The main problem that I faced was trying to figure out what things were a bigger risk. By bigger risk, I mean, what things could shut down the venue indefinitely. In the end I did put together a big list by asking my mentor for help.
(4) What are the two most significant sources you used to answer your essential question and why?
-Two of the most significant sources Ive used to answer my essential question are: Kevin Lopez; my mentor and a book I read called Starting and Building a Non-Profit by Peri Pakroo. My mentor Kevin was a great source for me because he has been running a venue for nearly two years. He's dedicated a lot of his time to dealing with any issues concerning the venue and has been able to show me things that have led me to understand the way a venue is run and kept open. The book I read was an amazing source because it literally gave me a step by step list of how a non profit organization must be started and what needs to be done in order to keep it going.
(1) What is your essential question and answers? What is your best answer and why?

Answer 1:Begin by putting together a master plan which consists of strategic planning, business planning, budgeting and the writing of a mission statement.
Answer 2: Look for a suitable location for for the venue and begin the procedure of acquiring business city permits and insurance.
Answer 3:Learn to successfully plan and promote events.
Answer 3:Learn to successfully plan and promote events.
Best Answer: Answer 2- Look for a suitable location for the venue and begin the procedure of acquiring business city permits and insurance.
-I chose answer number 2 as my best answer because without a suitable location, the venue could come into a number of problems. Some of which could impact the venue in a negative way. Getting proper permits issued by the city are required in order to keep any sort of business up and running and without the proper permits, the local city law could possibly shut down the venue. On the other hand, insurance is greatly needed because in the event of an injury or any sort of liabiity, the business must have the proper insurance policy to avoid getting into any trouble that might lead to a law suit and/or the shutting down of the venue. Alll those three things I stated are needed in order to get the venue up and keep running in the first place.

(2) What process did you take to arrive at this answer?
-When I was first constructing my best answer, I went to my mentor Kevin Lopez for advice. We discussed things that were highly crucial to the venue and came to an agreement that the things in my answer two were one of the most important. He helped me construct a list of things that were important and we gradually made the list smaller by crossing out things that were not high risk issues.
