Senior Project Research
I think that it is extremely beneficial to us to be able to start our senior project research before school even begins. The ten hours of mentorship required over the summer give us a just a taste of what life in our topic consists of. Research checks allow us to take our time to understand all the information that we are looking at. Starting our research so early in the year really helps us to grow and see what our chosen senior topic is all about. Taking our time with the research will help us with our final product which would be our 2 hour presentation at the end of the year. As presenters, it is very important to understand the information you are talking about. It is also important to be able to explain everything you talk about. Not having to rush and try to comprehend all of our research within one semester or even a few months is really great. I truly appreciate the senior team for having us start our research now because I know that my deep understanding of it will reflect in my final presentation.

Blog 2: Summer Mentorship Component
1.) Mentorship Log
2.) Silvia Valenzuela (909)621-6781 ext 2421
3.) Some questions raised through my 10 hours of mentorship were:
What is your everyday schedule like?
What kind of qualifications did you need for your position?
Why did you choose this career?
What kind of techniques do you use to help your students?
What do you think is the hardest part of your job?
4.) The most important thing that I've gained from this is that when you are doing this job, you need to push your students to continue on. If you don't do this then they will eventually give up on the class or on themselves like they have before.
5.) My Senior Project is going to be on Special Education Advisory. What I did during my summer mentorship helped me choose this topic because I got to fully understand a career that before I could never see myself doing. Though after completing my hours I saw that there was more than meets the eye with a career like this.
