- What three lessons were most helpful for you to see, and why?
- Entrepreneurship
- Social Work
- Network Marketing
Entrepreneurship
was a really helpful lesson to see because Ronny Rodriguez taught me
what Entrepreneurship was and what an Entrepreneur does. This gave me
ideas on how to start up my own business or how a business works in
general. Ronny also provided me information of the ins and outs of
successful businesses. Social work was a very interesting topic and
helped me realize how important it is. Nathalie Iannetta did a great job
with teaching me what social work does and how it can affect so many
people’s lives. Social work in itself, is a type of business that helps
me think of ways on how to work with businesses or create businesses.
Network marketing, was by far my favorite presentation to watch.
Christopher Figueora did an amazing job with explaining what network
marketing is and how successful it can be. Christopher proved that he
was passionate in his topic and showed that he actually went into depth
into understanding what network marketing is. Christopher taught me that
network marketing is a business that anyone can get into as long as
you’re passionate about it and actually achieve for the best by working
hard.
- List one thing that you learned about the senior project in interviews that will help you get off to a good start?
The
senior project interviews were very helpful to me. With the two seniors
I interviewed, I got the basics of what senior project will be. Now, I
know this may not seem like a big thing, but one senior told me to work
with two separate planners. One planner will be the general core work
for all four classes during the year. The other planner will just be for
senior project alone. This planner will have all the deadlines, when
things are coming up, and a checklist of everything I will have to do
and what I did do. This was very insightful for me and I am definitely
going to do this for senior year.
- What topic(s) are you considering, and why?
I
am considering two topics for senior project. One topic that I want to
do is law. The reason why I am interested in law is because I have
always been passionate in law ever since I was a little kid. I have
always dreamed about becoming a lawyer, winning cases, owning my own law
firm, and making a great income. As a back up plan, I would like to do
figure skating. Figure skating is something I am very passionate about. I
have skated ever since I could practically walk. Both my parents grew
up figure skating and traveled around the world doing ice shows. Now my
parents coach figure skating. My parents are the reason why I got into
skating and I have loved every minute of it since. The only reason why
figure skating is my back up plan is because it doesn’t provide a great
income, only the average wage of an American.
- 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).
For my law topic my EQ could be, "How can you expertly provide for the clients needs successfully?"
An
EQ I can choose for figure skating could be is; "How can skills be
taught to the ability level of a skater through communication and
demonstration?"
- What are some ideas you have about finding summer mentorship?
Summer
mentorship should be pretty easy for me to find. For law, I have a
family friend who owns her own law firm. She also has a law and business
degree. She will be able to be my mentor if I choose to do law. In
figure skating, my mentor could be either my mom or dad. They both have
professional experience with the figure skating world and could help me
build a career out of it.
