Blog 23: 2014 Interview

Blue: Me
Black: Gustavo Rios

1.  Who did you interview and what house are they in?
I interviewed Gustavo Rios, and he is in North House with Edwards.

2.  What ideas do you have for your senior project and why?
I have an idea to do theatre acting, cause acting is an interest I have and is one of my favorite subjects/hobbies to do.

3.  What do you plan to do for your summer 10 hour mentor ship experience?
I plan to volunteer at the Chino Community Theater during the summer for my summer mentor ship hours and hopefully throughout the year as well. I heard they had some really good opportunities for mentorship there. And since I am also in drama with Mr. Hogan, I hope to gain experience through there as well.

4.  What do you hope to see or expect to see in watching the 2013 2-hour presentations?

Im expecting to hopefully get ideas on what to do next year, and get some pointers on how to use my time wisely and see what worked and didn't work for the various 2 hour presentations. I hope that by seeing these presentations I can also get rid of some of the nerves that I have about the project.


5.  What questions do you have that I can answer about senior year or senior project (or what additional information did you tell them about senior year or senior project)?

How will mentorship affect our schedual next year?

Well you have to work with your mentor around your schedual. You have to talk to them and let them know that you have school things going on and that there would be days when you won't be able to attend certain days. Many times mentors are very easy to work your schedual with and are very understanding. So basically your schedual depends on the mentor you have and what you guys agree on.

If we get more than 50 hours of mentorship, will the other hours count for community service?

All of the hours of mentorship that you complete count for community/learning service hours. They will count towards your 200 hours of community service. And if you get over 50 hours of mentorship, those extra hours could be used for your independent component.

How many hours do you need for independent component?

Well for independent component you need to do 30 hours of work or 30 hours extra of mentorship.  You need to complete 2 independent components for the year, giving you a total of 60 extra hours of mentorship or work based on your topic.

If I participate in iPoly's drama and plays, will that count as hours?

You can use iPoly's drama as your independent component, so any hours done there can be used for you independent components. Do you have any more questions?

No, thank you though.
