Blog 1 – Senior Final Lesson/Interview Reflection

Image result for special education


  1. What three lessons were most helpful for you to see, and why?
    1. The three lessons that were most helpful to see during the senior presentations were the topics on, Autism, Fashion Merchandising, and Rain Forest Management. These topics were most helpful because I have interest in each field which influenced my decision on what to focus my senior project towards. Each presentation gave me an insight as to what the topic research may entail which was helpful to see because then I would be able to know if their would be an educational foundation within the topic.
  2. List one thing that you learned about the senior project in interviews that will help you get off to a good start?
    1. During the senior project interviews I learned that there is no way to procrastinate your years and that accountability is what makes your senior year. This information will help me get off to a good start because now I know I won't be able to slide through the year in order to get good grades. 
  3. What topic(s) are you considering, and why?
    1. The topic that I am considering has to do with Special Education, the reason for this is because I have a younger sibling who is diagnosed with Dyslexia and ADHD. Education has always been a struggle with my sibling and I would like to learn how to help her along with children who have problems focusing in school.
  4. What EQ do you think might be interesting to consider in guiding a project like this? (Please don't worry about any sort of formula...we want this question to come from your genuine interest).
    1. What is the best way to ensure that a child with mental disorders receives the proper education to succeed in life?
  5. What are some ideas you have about finding summer mentorship?
    1. As for a mentorship I plan on mentoring with a teacher who works with mentally disabled children or a psychiatrist who works with children that have special needs.
