Blog 1 - Senior Final Lesson/Interview Reflection

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

• The three lessons that I felt were most helpful for me were the presentations about Thai Restaurant Management, Preschool Special Education, and Psychiatric Technicians. I felt that these three were good examples on how a successful senior presentation should go.  

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

• During the interviews I learned that research is one of the most important aspects and that I should make sure to choose a topic with a plentiful amount of research sources. 

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

• I am considering the topics of teaching, nursing, or business ownership. I'm considering these because I am legitimately interested in learning more and possibly pursuing these as career option in the future. I also believe that I could find mentors and a lot of research for any of those topics. 

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).

• Teaching: How do you engage students deeply in the content of the curriculum?
• Nursing: What is the most effective way for a nurse to provide the best care for the patient?
• Business Ownership: How do you ensure the most profit when owning a small business?

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

• I can fill out applications to volunteer at hospitals, and summer classes, or I can make phone calls to people I already know who are familiar with either those topics or small business ownership.
