2. What questions do you still have that haven't been answered about the senior project? This can be about the senior project in general, any components or about a presentation topic you saw or what they said?

Are you allowed to have multiple mentors?

How many individual components are there?

What exactly is an individual component?

When are you supposed to have your Essential Question done by?

How many sources are you supposed to use in your presentation?

Are worksheets for activities in the Senior Presentations worth using?

How does one get an AE in a Senior Presentation or an E?

Is it really a 2-Hour presentation? I mean cause each person only presented for about an hour, activity included.

What is the Senior Trade show that is about to come up about?


3. What has the most important part of the senior project based on what you are seeing in the 2-hour presentations?

I would have to say the most important quality the good presentations had was the fact that the person presenting was invested in his/her topic. For instance, Dilan Desai, he wants to become a Pharmacist and he presented very well. Analysa Gallegos, she was extremely passionate about her topic and loves it. Robinson Baron, he wants to continue participating in the Medical Missions. Lara McConnaughey, she wants to work in the field of Linguistics. Jeremy Ethridge, he wants to also continue being an EMT. All of these presenters were enjoying presenting their Senior Project. Also, I noticed one guy which I am not going to name, it seemed like he was winging his presentation but he was invested in his topic, so he did pretty good.


4. What topic are you considering doing and why?

I am interested in doing Cardiology/Cardiologist for my Senior Topic. The reason I am interested in doing it is because I would like to do this as a career in the future. Ever since a kid, my dad has been telling me about it. I really want to do a profession in the medical field because not only do you make a decent amount of salary to sustain your living expenses, you also get to help out many people and that is really great. 


5. What are you doing for your summer mentorship?

I haven't officially gotten a mentor yet, but hopefully I will be mentoring at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center this summer. I have requested a mentor from them and they said yes, but I haven't got any official notices like who I am mentoring under, when, etc.
