Senior Project, The Holiday

Content:
1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you over the break with your senior project?
    I tried contacting my mentor through email so that I could ask if I could come in and get some hours done this week, but unfortunately he didn't get back to me because he is a teacher and he probably wanted to enjoy his break. 

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

    I learned that I should obtain more information from my mentor so that I can stay in touch with him for whatever I need. 

3.  If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers of your EQ, who would you talk to and why?

    I would talk to my mentor because even though I've only seen him a couple of times he has given me useful information and he is a really good teacher from what I have observed so far.
