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.

Some of the other seniors had said they worked with two or  three other mentors because some did not accepted fully due to other students, who have signed with these certain mentors earlier. Can we have multiply types of mentors to have more sources for finding our answers for the EQ or stick to only one?

3. What has the most important part of the senior project based on what you are seeing in the 2-hour presentations?

The most important part of the senior project in my view is going through each answer and explaining in depth individually. By going through each answer, it is best to keep focus on the answers themselves with no interruptions. From what I have seen from other senior presentations there was a certain pattern that I have enjoy as they presented. The order I have seen was Hook, EQ, Answer 1, Answer 2, Answer 3, Activity, and Ending, but others had inserted their activity between the answers causing a spoiler alert for their best answer. It is best to explain all the factors that must be said to the audience before revealing the main event or answer.

4. What topic are you considering doing and why?

The topic I considered to do for the Senior Project is Pharmacy. To be honest, I never thought of suggesting myself to majoring in pharmacy. I did planned to join in the medical field, but as a doctor or a nurse, someone who interacts more with patients. It has been two years have taken chemistry class in high school. Since chemistry is involved of the study to become a pharmacist, it would be a waste of knowledge to not use it. In my view, I see this major takes on a bigger challenge than memorization of all types of drugs. The greatest challenge of being a pharmacist is guiding the patients with simple directions of the drugs they have provided and giving specific information on how the medication can affect the body. Not only the pharmacist have authority over thousands of medications and gets paid more, but has the ability to assist and help their patients who are in need of them.

5. What are you doing for your summer mentorship?

For my summer mentorship, I plan to work as a apprentice for my mother's friend who works at a local pharmacy store as a pharmacist. My scheduled would be arranged by volunteering twice a week on weekdays and consist of 10 or less hours per day, but that is my idea of how my schedule should be, it depends on what available days they are able to offer me. My main goal for this summer mentorship is to learn all the basic facts and routines to do as a pharmacist.
