Blog 1 – Senior Final Lesson/Interview Reflection

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

• I like the lessons taught by Justine Solorio, Ariami Garcia, and Guadalupe Huaracha because they talked about what they found in their research and what things they found through their mentorship that wouldn't get the same experience from just reading about it and you can tell that they enjoyed their topic and had fun with it.

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

• When you are working with your mentor try to develop a good relationship with them so if you need help or have questions you have an easier time approaching them as well as having a better outcome for the overall project.

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

• I have already talked to the senior team about my topic last year to make sure it would work because once I got it approved it would take a minimum of 5 months to start. My topic is training a wild horse. This is something I have wanted to do for some time now and my parents and riding instructor thought now would be a good time to do it.

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).

• When working with a with a wild horse what should a horse trainer keep in mind?

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

• I was going to ask my horse trainer since she has gentles and trained 14 wild horses.
