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.
How many mentor-ship hours are needed?
Does the ten hours required over the summer count towards the 50?
How many activities are required?
Other than not making time, what other factors can hurt your grade?

3.     What has the most important part of the senior project based on what you are seeing in the 2-hour presentations?
I could tell from watching the seniors present that making sure they spoke for 30 minutes was the most important thing. Many had their friends time them and report how long they had been talking. 

4.     What topic are you considering doing and why?
I am considering doing my senior presentation on veterinary medicine and the aspects of that field. I want to do this because I am considering becoming a veterinarian and having that experience will help me decide if it is the right career for me. I also love animals and think it would be great to work with them and get hands-on experience. 

5.      What are you doing for your summer mentorship?
Over the summer, I will be mentoring with a veterinarian. My mentor has recently graduated from veterinary school and is starting her job this summer. I plan to shadow her and get an idea of the type of work that she does.
