Interpretive
The most important thing I have done is learn not just photography, but of business and how you gain to be more than an artist but how you can make yourself successful. With my service learning with Jack I did a lot of filing, organizing, and inputting stuff in a computer. With Errick it was a lot of helping to plan for his upcoming trip to South Africa and that with skill you get jobs yet to maintain jobs is organization.
I have learned to better my skills through watching both of these people work but really I didn't know there was so much going on behind the scenes. It taught me that even if this is fun it is work but fun work.

Applied
How did what you did help you answer your EQ? Please explain.
This helped answer my EQ for I was watching masters at work and that as time went on I had questions to ask and they answered. I learned that precising what you think is non-traditional is different than anyone else and that I had to make it bold. Also that there is no simply way of answering this question that there have to be many answers to what I am trying to accomplish.
