Senior Project, The Holidays

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? 

It is very important to work on your senior project consistently whether we are in break or not because the more you get done and do the more easier it will be on you in the long run. For example updating your hours and WB. I mostly  volunteered at House of Ruth and fixing my notebook for research check. 

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

The most important thing I learned from volunteering is you have to be consistent with your work and put 100% effort in everything you do because it your senior topic but most importantly if you put that much effort, it will pay off and you would be better off in your senior project. 

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

I would talk to my mentor Marina Wood because she is an expert on domestic violence since she goes and actually teach other students in colleges or events about domestic violence if not another staff member at house of Ruth because they are all equally resourceful and knowledgeable when it comes to domestic violence victims.
