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.
Some questions that came to mind were, "how am I going to contact my mentor and make sure he or she is willing to help me out for that extended amount of time." Another thing I reflected on a lot was the independent component and what was required in that part of the projects.
3. What has the most important part of the senior project based on what you are seeing in the 2-hour presentations?
From what I saw during the senior presentations, the most important part about the 2-hour presentation is knowing what you are talking about, not necessarily memorizing your presentation. The more the presenter knew about his/her topic, the better the presentation was, you could tell they were interested in their topics.
4. What topic are you considering doing and why?
I am considering doing Physical Therapy mainly focusing on sports therapy because I play sports and I have these nagging injuries. The job of a physical therapist is fascinating to me because they know so much about the human body and how to repair and prevent injuries.
5. What are you doing for your summer mentorship?
For summer mentorship I am planning to go to Bassett High School and ask the Physical therapist/trainer if he can mentor me.
