Blog 23: 2014 Interview

1.  Who did you interview and what house are they in?
The junior I interviewed was Analisa Gallegos of West House.

2.  What ideas do you have for your senior project and why?
Analisa told me that she wanted to do her senior project on something related with animals or psychology. However, she seemed more interested in the psychology topic. She also told me that she would narrow it down to something that had to do with the criminology aspect of psychology. The reason she wants to do her senior project on this is because this is the career field she wants to go into. Analisa had explained that this project would hopefully help her get a jump start on this career path. 

3.  What do you plan to do for your summer 10 hour mentorship experience?
Analisa explained that one of her mom's friends works in the FBI so she was hoping she could obtain permission for mentorship for this. If she couldn't get mentorship there she told me that one of her family members was a psychologist and would probably be willing to allow her to mentor there for the 10 hour summer experience.

4.  What do you hope to see or expect to see in watching the 2013 2-hour presentations?
What she expects to see in this year's 2- hour presentations are the activities. She really wants to see how to make her activities fun next year and see what kind of activity ideas there are. Analisa also hope to learn more about the project in general and what it is exactly.

5.  What questions do you have that I can answer about senior year or senior project (or what additional information did you tell them about senior year or senior project)?
The only question she had for me was about the research. She seemed a bit confused about how much research and how many research pieces were going to be needed and how they were going to  pile up at the end. She asked "How exactly does all the researching thing work? How does it get compiled at the end of the senior year?" I told her that throughout the year, they would have research checks. For each research check they would have to bring in a certain amount of research pieces and take notes on them. I told her that through the year these research pieces will compile into  one binder that they will have to turn in. I also told her that when researching she should get more books than internet articles because they will help her more in the long run.
