1.   The presentations I saw were:

  • Suicidal Youth
  • Real Estate
  • Bikram Yoga
  • Public Defender
  • Acting, Piano
  • Music Store Operation
  • Magic the Gathering
  • Animal Adoption
  • Teaching Kindergarten
  • Strength Training (I learned I have none)
  • Physical Therapy
  • Marine Biology
   Side Comment: The individual in charge of the Suicidal Youth presentation, Paola Rodriguez, did a phenomenal job. I was practically moved to tears by such an emotional, educational and empowering presentation.

2.  Can a guardian be a mentor?

3.  It seems like the most important part of the senior project is making time! If someone does a phenomenal job and doesn’t make time, as far as I know, it won’t be a pretty situation for them.

4.  I am considering doing Illegal Immigration as my senior project because I have always had an interest for it since I practically grew up in my father’s immigration office. I have already worked there in the past for a part time job, but I feel that immersing myself during the summer as an intern will help me truly understand the job of an immigration attorney.

5. For my mentorship, I plan on working at an immigration office to further enhance my understanding for the profession. I plan to have my father as my mentor because he is the owner of an immigration office in Pomona, as well as an immigration attorney himself.
