Helping 2013

The junior i interview was Ana Barerra 

Thursday in lunch 4/26/12

(1) What ideas do you have for your senior project and why?

     

      She is interested in doing her senior project on nail and art style, because admires the ladies in the salon who design nails and how they can fit designs in one tiny space on the nails. 

• I told her its a good topic and i haven't seen anybody work or learned about nail art its a really interested topic, and i asked her how did she first start realizing she wanted to learn more about nail art her response was when she was little she would see designs on nails and she started applying it to her nails and she realize its something she enjoys doing and maybe having her own salon when shes older. 

(2) What do you plan to do to complete the 10 hours of service learning (working with an expert) which is due prior to senior year starting?  

      Her mom has a friend who works in a nail salon and she had already asked her if she can be able to work with her for her senior project because she wants to learn how to do nail art and her friends mom said yea she can be her mentor and she will teach her everything she needs to know and will have her work with her and design some nails. 

• I told her that its best if she starts getting some hours with her service learning and not wait till last minute because it can be frustrating, that if its possible to start working over the summer so she can get some hand on experience and see if she enjoys working in nail art if not so she can change her topic and still be able to have 10 hours completed before deadline. 

(3) What do you hope to see or expect to see when watching the class of 2012 present their two hour presentations?

      She expects to learn different things something that we don't learn everyday, something new that will make her go home and do several research about our (2012) senior projects . shes looking forward in watching the presentations because she likes watching others perform so she can see what she has to be prepare for. She wants to see how people really know their topics and how they are able to explain them. 

• I asked her if there was something in particular that she is looking forward, and she said yes the activities and performance of each students, she wants activities to be entertaining and something unexpected.     

(4) What questions do they have about senior project? 

           Some questions she had that really concern her were how do our components work? or do we even have components? 

• I explained to them that in the beginning of the year your house teacher will give you a packet having everything that you need to have and when they are due and i told her how before they are do the house teachers will tell them when they should turn it in. I told her that by she told me if i was here i would like to see her presentation because i like to do art in my nails but i really dont know how only with stickes and she does her nails without stickers or stencils.
