Blog 12: Holiday Project Update

1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you do over the break with your senior project?

i think that it is important that you use your break to relax and not think about school. That is the entire point of a break, or else it really feel like one now would it, I didn’t really do much with my senior project as I had a hard time contacting my mentor for hours.

2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why?  What was the source of what you learned?

The most important thing I learned that it was okay to take that two - week break because that was the whole point. I didn’t necessarily learn this by myself but rather the adults around me told me.

3.  Your third interview will be a 10 question interview related to possible answers for your EQ. Who do you plan to talk to and why?

I might to plan to talk to my mentor wife as she is also an astronomy professor and researcher at Cal State San Bernardino.

Blog 1 – Senior Final Lesson/Interview Reflection

1  

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

The three lessons that were the most helpful to me was Domestic Abuse from Hannah Leonard, Astrophysics from Emaan Ahmed, and Editorial Publishing by Elijah Garcia. The reason why I choose these three is because all of them kept me engaged on the subject they were teaching. So, I took the pros and cons of each of their presentation to learn from their mistakes and apply pros onto my presentation.

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

I was in fact absent when senior interviews happened, actually I didn’t even know it happened. Although, if I were to conduct an interview the question I would ask is what were some of the most difficult tasks you had to overcome in the senior project.

3 . What topic(s) are you considering, and why?

I am considering astrophysics because it is a field I want to pursue later on in life. It is literally a topic I have been interested in ever since I was a kid (even though I didn’t realize I was learning about astrophysics). Whenever I talk about astrophysics I just become really happy, giddy, and I basically turn into a massive nerd.If I am unable to do that I am thinking about human rights, but I don’t necessarily know what sub division I should make my topic on.  

4 . What EQ do you think might be interesting to consider in guiding a project like this? (Please don't worry about any sort of formula...we want this question to come from your genuine interest).

Astrophysics: What is the best possibly way to explain how the beginning of space and time itself started?

Human Rights: Why is it that humans have lived for more than 200,000 years, yet we are still facing issues on inequality?

5 . What are some ideas you have about finding summer mentorship?

Some ideas I have for finding a summer mentorship is by emailing or calling professors who study astrophysics and see if they are willing to take me up as a mentor. The same goes with the human rights subject, although I am actually unsure as to how well this method actually is and if I will find a mentor.
