2.  What questions do you 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.

Before watching the presentations I had no idea what I had to do with my mentor this summer, but after seeing them all, I actually got an idea of what it was all about and what is expected. There is just one question I actually have and its if we can change our senior topic even tho we do the 10 hours based on the topic we wanted to do.

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

I think the most important part is actually liking your topic. I noticed that there were 2 or 3 presenters that didn't look to excited about their topic. I know its very nerve recking being up there and presenting, but they didn't look as nervous as they did bored.

4. What topic are you considering doing and why?

One of the topics that I'm considering to do is Suicide Youth due to the reason that Paola's presentation really got to me. I wanted to do something like Psychologist, Counselor or Therapist but Paola's presentation was just really good. It made me realize that there is people out there that really need someone there with them, I know that if  I do stick to this topic though out the process it might get pretty hard to handle if I actually get to interact with people with suicide minds, but thats something that I want to do.

5. What are you doing for your summer mentorship?

I still don't have a mentor due to the fact that I just decided to change the topic to a different one I had in mind. I emailed a mentor that one of the presenters, had but I'm still waiting for a response.
