Statement+of+Intent

1. Describe the steps you will need to do to complete your project. I will call Salon etc. Monday January, 4th, during Mrs. Warmers' study hall period. I will set up times to go in and volunteer. I am hopping to get at least 2 hours a week in an actual Salon. Mrs. Warmers and I are going to find a couple dates that will work to set up an appointment to go to Stewards and then I will call and try to set up a time to go in, We are going to visit them some time after the 16th, because of play. After attending Stewards for a visit, I plan on meeting with 3 people, One who has graduated and is working in the field for a few years, one who has just graduated, and one who is still in the program. After a little more research to just make sure Stewards is where I want to be, I will apply for FAFSA and send in my application for the school.

2. What subject(s) or topic(s) do you expect to learn about through your experience? I am hoping to develop a better understanding of the school and what they do. I also hope to get a feel of what it will be like to be in a salon. I hope that basing my Senior project on this will help me actually make the strides to go to the school within the next couple of years. I also expect to find out if the school is right for me before I attend there.

3. What skills or understanding will you develop and/or demonstrate? The basics of the field I plan to go into, cosmetology. How to fill out a college application and FAFSA.

4. What kind of product do you envision? An in progress report of my goals and what I have already achieved.

5. Where would you look for a mentor? I am going to be talking to a couple hair stylist about this. I am hoping for one in particular.

6. What do you hope to learn about yourself? I hope to learn that I can do this. That I could of done it all along. I hope to grow up from this experience. Gain confidence that I don't have and feel comfortable doing thing I haven't before. I hope to learn that I am as capable of doing everything, and more, that everyone keeps telling me I can. I hope to learn how to not get in my own way, and let things happen, good things. I hope to find myself in this project.

7. What most excites you about your proposed Endeavor? Going into the salons and working with the hair dressers. Being able to say I have actually experience in a salon instead of just saying I have dyed hair in my house before and cut hair.
