Blog 2: Topic Choice

A. What is your topic and why?
My topic, at this moment, is flowers, or flower business administration. I chose this topic because my mother is a very creative and motivating person. I just cannot get enough of her and since it is the family business it was very easy for me to choose it.Not only that but flowers are also very romantic and i would like to know more. To add to the administration aspect, I want to look at how a successful business is supposed to run.

B. And what do you hope to accomplish this year with this topic (connecting your answer to each of the 4 ESLRs).

  • iPoly Citizen: I plan to learn how to take criticism from customers and my mother. This is good for me to learn this because iPoly's grading system is very straight forward and it criticises your work and i have to learn how to take it. 
  • Effective Communicator: I will learn how to speak to all the different customers and how to get a point across while also learning how to listen to them. In order to be an effective communicator, you have to learn how to talk to a person and just as important, listen to them.
  • Effective Learner: I also will attempt to learn everything my mom does. From the budget to the actual flower arrangements, it will be a lot of information but in order to become an effective learner i have to ask questions and pay very close attention at what she has to tell me.
  • Effective User of Technology: While my mom has clients that she receives through the store, she also receives them through email, I will be taking care of that. Also, i will use the tools the flowers require which not only makes technology on the computer but hands-on. This, in turn, will teach me different functions on technology and also help me upload information i need for this blog.
