 Last day of the senior project!!!!! Today was the final check-up on everything. It took me a very long time, but I went through everything. I went through the GUUD app introduction videos and read all their scripts again. For the website, I found different logos to go on the mission and vision page. I didn't really like the ones they had before because they looked too cartoonish and I thought that it should look more formal.  For the vision, I changed it from a very aesthetic eye to a telescope looking at the sky and the stars. For the mission, I changed it to a target that had the green from GUUD.  I thought about the sustainable category but I wasn't able to come up with much for it since it is still in its developing phases. A lot of re-reading and re-writing but everything is good.

 Today was a productive day! I had to get some phone calls in. I called my Fernando, he had a couple of questions about one of the sketches we had done in my computer for the app. We rewrote them again just because we didn’t like how they sounded. At the end I sent the final drafts to the graphic designer and the person that helps make the website. I’m looking forward to finalize everything that we have started during senior project. 

Week 2 Reflection:

  Week two is complete. It has been a true pleasure to have been able to work with Fernando these past two weeks. The amount of time that he has dedicated to me is very important, since he is a very busy man. In this last week I learned many new things but I also repeated some of the same things I learned on week one. Throughout the week I got to know the company even more and got to sketch out a lot of different pages for either the app or the website. It was a typical weekend, but at the same time there were days where we did something completely different like the zoom meeting with the whole entire company. Day seven was definitely one of my favorite days this week. It was very different because it had almost nothing to do with what we had been looking at. Fernando is really good friends with one of the representatives that is running for president of the Mexican republic. Fernanda’s whole entire task force was able to talk and hear what this person had to say and how they think the

  Today was my last day working. It has been an incredible experience getting to work at Happy. Inc, but more specifically, with the new company that they are trying to start called GUUD. Since it was the last day, we polished up the GUUD website by rewriting the about us category, as well as the mission and vision statements. It took us longer than I thought it would come up with the perfect short phrase that would get the point across. I really like how they turned out because they are very different than other companies' statements. The mission statement is “Hack brains shape bodies.” The vision statement is “Find the guud in YOU. Let’s go!”. To finish strong, Fernando showed me the controls for the whole company. On his Ipad, he is going to get daily reports on everything you can think of. All the data that will be coming in will help him see how the company is doing and all the things he needs to work on. It has been a great honor to be able to work with Fernando. He has given

Second to last day at the office! I can't believe how quickly it has gone by. Looking back at it, I have learned so much about how a company starts from zero and how important it is to have people around you that have positive energy and want to work. Today I woke up with a coffee and some scrambled eggs for breakfast. I headed to the office and started to work again. We did the same old review. I sat down with Fernando, and we reviewed the GUUD app again. We want to make sure that everything is in place and that everything looks good. I hope that he gets the app up and running soon. Everything looks good to me! Hours Today: 8hr Project Total: 72 hr

Day 8: May 17 2023

I started the day with breakfast. I had avocado toast; I also made a bagel with cream cheese and lox. It was all very good. After that, I took a shower and got ready for the day. Drove to the office and started by reviewing some documents left over from yesterday. I used my AP Lang tools and closely read the text highlighting important information and taking notes. That took me a long time since the document was long. After that, I went down with two people on the GUUD team and talked to them about how they think the whole project is doing and progressing. I can't believe that there are two more days left! Hours Today: 8hr Project Total: 64 hr

I woke up this morning a little earlier than usual. Had a delicious breakfast, some chilaquiles with chicken and a sunny-side-up egg. Headed to the office and set up all my things in Fernadno's side office. I then went over to his office and sat down at his desk, and got ready for the Zoom meeting to start. The meeting was delayed a bit by the number of people that tried to join the meeting. The guy that was speaking is one of the 5 representatives' right hand who is running for president of Mexico. After that, I spent some time on the GUUD app, sketching out what I thought the website looked like. Then Cori, who is Fernando’s assistant, took me down to the Graphic Designer who created the GUUD website. He showed it to me, and I got to ask him questions and give him my opinions. Following that, I came back to the office and gave my opinions on the website to Fernando.  Hours Today: 8hr Project Total: 56 hr
