The Pentagon:
1. Positive Statement: What positive thing happen as a result of what you completed so far?
One positive result is that I have learned and appreciated the difficulty it takes to plan a wedding. Unlike the media portrays of wedding planning, this career is not easy. Gretchen enlightened me on the fact that much of a wedding planners personal time is taken up to plan a wedding. There is no such thing as a vacation if there is a wedding to plan.

2. EQ Content: Pick a piece of research or your interview. How has it helped you improve your understanding of your topic?
When I interviewed my mentor, I was bombarded with a ton on new information. Due to the interview, I can understand the substantial amount of time and stress it takes to plan a wedding. Many specific details were explained to me, which helped me understand my topic even more. I now realize that wedding planning is not all fun and games and it can also affect your physical and mental health.
3. What has worked for you so far in the senior project?
So far, the service learning came pretty easy to me. Getting to work with a Wedding Coordinating company was fun and exciting. Also, there is no problem gathering research. There are so many articles and books about wedding planning as well as interviews and videos.
4. What hasn't worked so far?
Scheduling an interview with my mentor was pretty tough. Seeing as how wedding coordinators work everyday, almost 24 hours a day, it was very difficult to figure out a place and time when my mentor and I could meet. Also, my mentor was due to surgery soon so it will be difficult to ask for her assistance in the next few weeks.

5. 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?
- One possible question that comes to mind in regards to what I would like to study this year is "What are the best possible routes for me to take for me to be an effective wedding planner?". Also, I would like to ask "How can I become an organized and efficient wedding planner??"
- What is your end goal this year with your senior project?
- My end goal for my senior project this year is to grasp the way the wedding industry works. It is such a bustling industry that it is so hard to keep up with trends. I would also like to plan my Uncle's Wedding if given the chance to. After having the experience this year, I'm sure he'll let me coordinate his wedding for him.
- Who would you like to talk to you next? Why?
- If I could talk to anyone next, it would have to be David Tutera. David is known in the wedding industry as a successful wedding/event planner. It would be amazing if I would have a chance to talk to him. He would be able to answer so many of my questions and to be able to view the wedding industry from his perspective would be down right fascinating.
