Blog 23: 2014 Interview

1. Who did you interview and what house are they in?

I interviewed Stephanie Salas from North house and Samantha Torres from East house. 

2. What ideas do you have for your senior project and why?

Stephanie: I haven't decided on one yet, but I'm thinking about doing a branch of psychology. It interests me since I'm taking a psychology class up at Cal Poly, and it's really interesting to me.
Samantha: I plan on doing my senior project on voice teaching, I don't know what specifically yet though. Because it's a big interest of mine.

3. What do you plan to do for your summer 10 hour mentorship experience?

Stephanie: Well, my mom majored in psychology, and she works for a non-profit organization, and that's the sort of thing that they do there. So I'm just thinking of volunteering there and helping out a bit.
Samantha: I plan on following and helping a vocal teacher.

4. What do you hope to see or expect to see in watching the 2013 2-hour presentations?

Stephanie: Hopefully I get some idea, because I'm still not sure about doing the psychology thing. So maybe get some ideas for things that are related to that. (I told her about Jada and how she's doing her senior project on Autism and Psychiatry, so that she should try to see that presentation because it could help her out.)

Samantha: I hope to get a good idea of what to expect next year.

5. What questions do you have that I can answer about senior year or senior project?

Stephanie: She only asked if there were any topics that couldn't be done for senior topic. So I told her about the Astrology thing and how the senior teachers want students to stay away from those kinds of topics because of money issues that have occurred in the past.
Samantha: "I want know what to expect like in detail for senior year." I told her about the beginning of the year and model assembly, and the sorts of things to expect for that, like the workload and such. I told her about how the senior project work spreads out and how a big chunk of it is worked on during April and May, and how May is the start of working on the two hour presentations. 
She also wanted to know if you could do well in both your normal classes and senior project. And I said yes, it was all really about managing your time well and making sure to turn in every assignment on time - be it core or senior project related.
