Blog 1 – Senior Final Lesson/Interview Reflection

I really enjoy researching and learning about modified cars. 

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

  1. Hockey coaching with Slade Susuki was an interesting one presentation for me to attend to because it showed me how I could do soccer as a presentation topic. One other helpful memo that I mentally wrote down was to pring as many props as you can so you can constantly refer to them during the presentation.
  2. I disliked a Business presentation with someone because I felt like his presentation had no point, it was just talking about the different types of bossing  styles and how they affect your workers. Also, I felt like the power point and himself weren't working in unison. Overall, this presentation was helpful because I hope I now will progress upon what Humberto did wrong and avoid his mistakes.
  3. Drag Racing with Victor Gamboa was my favorite because it was my favorite topic. I, thanks to Mr. Gamboa , know have ideas on how to implement the automotive industry into the senior presentation if I do pick that topic.

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

  1. Thanks to Ana Nieto, I now know I need to get a mentor that is compatible with myself and vise versa. This is because a big part of the project will be coming out of your mentor ship.
What topic(s) are you considering, and why?
  1. Soccer: I have played soccer since I was about seven and I currently play. Not to mention my passion for the sport in incredible. 
  2. Automotive industry: Almost the same situation as soccer, I have deep roots and passion for the topic. All the mechanical work my car has needed I have executed myself.

What EQ do you think might be interesting to consider in guiding a project like this?
  1. Soccer: What is the most effective way one could keep themselves in best shape for physical contact sports?
  2. Automotive: What is the cheapest yet most efficient way of modifying your cars mechanical features (engine, drivetrain, etc.)?
What are some ideas you have about finding summer mentorship?
  1. There is a general mechanic shop not to far from where I live and I'm sure they are willing to let me intern there.
  2. As for soccer, I have plenty of old coaches numbers and even Mr. Hanke at school that might be willing to help me attain a mentor.
