2. What questions do you have that haven't been answered about the senior project? This can be about the senior project in general, any components or about a presentation topic you saw or what they said.   
  • Does our presentation have to be about something we want to do as a career, or can it be about a hobby too?
  • From what i have seen, the presenters only seem to be presenting for a little over an hour. Why are they called 2-hour presentations?
  • Can we reserve the classrooms we wish to present n, or are we assigned a classroom?
3. What has the most important part of the senior project based on what you are seeing in the 2-hour presentations?

From what I've seen, the best presentations were generally the ones that were based on a hobby, not a career choice. The reason for my saying is that the people who did presentations based on their hobbies seemed confident with what they were saying. In other word, they seemed like they knew their information and managed to stay calm, while also making the presentation enjoyable.

4. What topic are you considering doing and why?

I've been going back and forth on what I'm planning on presenting, but it will most likely be Football 101 because i have at least 4 years of experience and i can find multiple mentors and interviewees.

5. What are you doing for your summer mentorship?

Over my four year experience, i have had more than 5 coaches, each with different forms of teaching football. I plan on asking my current coach for mentorship, in hopes that he is willing to teach me during the summer season.
