Blog 1: 2 Hour presentation

Blog assignment:

1. What presentations did you see?
 The presentations that I saw were: music performing and promoting, editorial publishing, occupational therapy, information technology, defense systems engineering, software development, music performance, music industry, warehouse op. management, homelessness, biochemistry (biofuels), Brazilian jiu jitzu,  information technology, theater acting, organic architecture, and domestic violence.

2. What questions do you have that haven't been answered about the senior project? 
Some questions that were left unanswered after senior presentations were the following: What is the best way to find an internship? Can you do more than three activities during senior presentation? Does your internship have to directly relate to your senior project topic?


3. What was the most important part of the senior project based on what you are seeing in 2 hour presentations?
The most important part about the senior project according to the 2 hour presentations that I watched, is to help students acquire a sense of what they wish to do and the skills needed to successfully convey that information to their peers.

4. What topic are you considering doing and why?
I am considering doing my senior project on creative writing and all the elements that make for a successful author. I chose this topic because my whole life I have always been passionate about writing, whether it be composing my own original songs, stories, or poetry. 

5. What are you doing for your summer mentorship?
For my summer mentorship, I plan to intern with my aunt who works for a publishing company.
