Blog 1 – Senior Final Lesson/Interview Reflection

1.  What three lessons were most helpful for you to see, and why?

• One great lesson I absolutely learned was to find a mentor that would be willing to teach the topic without any given trouble. The second lesson I learned was to extend my knowledge of the topic in all possible areas because it may lead to agood essential question. The third lesson I learned was go above and beyond with meeting the mentor because it may lead into a great relationship and a possible job/career.

2. List one thing that you learned about the senior project in interviews that will help you get off to a good start?

•  I learned that it's okay to take risks at the beginning of any kind of mentorship during the summer, because there is always the chance of change in topic if it isn't something I truly have like. 

3. What topic(s) are you considering, and why?

•  I am considering a topic that regards working with young children. I have been coaching young girls since the grade six. It has become a priority to give back to my local community. As a result of coaching three days a week since freshmen year, I have a total of 936 community service hours.  I am also considering International Marketing as a topic. Marketing in general is the career path I wish to follow in the near future do to my interpersonal and communication skills.

4. What EQ do you think might be interesting to consider in guiding a project like this?   (Please don't worry about any sort of formula...we want this question to come from your genuine interest).

•  What is the most effective way to extend the knowledge of your topic? 

5. What are some ideas you have about finding summer mentorship?

•  I know many individuals in the entertainment industry that may help me out with international marketing. I also am very familiar with the sports league I coach with during my leisure time.
