1.) The senior presentations that I viewed are; 
Marathon Running by Bobbie Rodriguez
Designing Haunted Attraction by Lucas Acosta
Horticulture by Danielle Carlson
Criminal Investigation by Gawen Grunloh
Social Media Networking by Mariah Caputo
Yoga by Alyssa Soberano
Firefighting by Joseph Luna

Theater Technician by Dolores Rios
Music Journalism by Jose Cadena
Marine Conservation Biology by Eric Reynolds
Body Building by Dina Sambo
Homelessness by Lauren DeVaughn
Equine Assisted Therapy by Amber Meek.

2.) I have already asked the seniors many questions regarding projects next year, but I something I never asked was; What are the Research Checks for and what do we research? It seemed like every week, the seniors had another research check due.

3.) It seems to me that the most important part of the senior project was the ability to create a specific essential question and effectively answer it in the senior presentation without going astray. A few of the presentations I viewed did not seem to answer their own essential questions.

4.) I am considering doing my senior project on First Aid. I have always enjoyed learning medical techniques from my dad, whom is an EMT, and helping people who are hurt. Ever since freshman year, it has pained me to hear how little people know about first aid. Some people that I know don’t even know what to do when they receive a burn. I want to try to teach some of the basic First Aid techniques that I believe everyone should know and can do at home.
