1. My working EQ is "Which specialization is the best for a Auto-Mechanic to take?"
2. My Answer is that you should study on what people need fixed to find the best specialization. Another Answer would be to specialize in everything, a hard but do-able task.
3. A Career as an Auto Mechanic was one of my best sources and was where I learned about specializations.
4. I am working at a auto repair shop called affordable transmissions.

For my 30 hours, I plan to work with a mentor at an auto shop. I will be recording my work hours with pictures. To learn from what they're doing I will watch until my mentor directs me to do something.

1. I plan to interview my mentor Pablo Ramos, as I believe that there might be the best place to start as he is the first person I found for this topic.


2. Some additional questions I can ask are "How did you become an auto mechanic?" or "Is this the job you wanted to have as an adult?"  Also I'm going to ask what he loves and hates about the job.

Auto Mechanic

    To show that I’ve grown as an effective learner I will complete all blogs and make up and assignment I miss. To show how I’m an effective communicator I will listen to others ideas and help them improve upon them. To show that I’m an effective user of technology, I will bring my laptop to allow me to work more with technology. And finally, I will show how I am a effective I-poly citizen by joining a committee and respecting all my community members.

•   I did not record this as I failed to pay enough attention to the questions being asked.

2.  (Need to know) 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.

3. What has the most important part of the senior project based on what you are seeing in the 2-hour presentations?

•     Just having everything ready and complete is very important, although practicing your presentation never hurts.

4. What topic are you considering doing and why?

•     I have considered writing and animation, I like to come up with stories and make artistic stuff, which I feel is a great reason to look into these topics.
