Independent Component 2 Plan Approval

1) Im going to be doing extra service learning hours.

Independent component 1

Literal

I, Jesus Diaz, affirm that i completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work. 

I worked at a skate shop for 30 hours, it helped me understand how a skate shop worked, how they decide if they let a clothing line in or not, and what they do with all the other clothes. 

Interpretive

I had the guy i worked with sign off a justification form to prove that i worked there. I worked two ours a day working and learning about managing a skate shop

Applied

This helped a lot answering my EQ, now i know what skate shops/ stores look in to letting a new clothing line in. I also learned a lot about how it works and how much you pay to get into a store but you get a lot out of it. Also most successful clothing lines have there own store named after the brand and to know the fundamentals of how to run your own store just puts me a step ahead of everyone else thats starting there own clothing brand and a step ahead to making a successful brand.
