  4. Phrase an open-ended question that will help you think about other useful activities you might do to help you answer the EQ (IC2, possible experts to talk to, etc).
    1. How am I able to know if the client is truly satisfied with the result that you give and what hidden emotions do they express?

    1. I'm doing my mentorship at Arcel's Design at is located in the City of Industry.
  2. Who is your contact?  What makes this person an expert?
    1. I work with Arcel R. Punsalang, he is the person who started Arcel's Design and he has a degree in design as well as being certified. He also is in the International Interior Design Association.
  3. How many  hours have you done during the school year? (Summer Mentorship Hours and Mentorship Hours should be reflected separately in your Senior Project Hours log located on the right hand side of your blog).
    1. I have done exactly 10 hours so far because I'm looking to a place closer to home. 
  4. Succinctly summarize what you did, how well you and your mentor worked together, and how you plan to complete the remaining hours.
    1. We do one on one projects when it comes to reviewing and seeing if I'm doing things write. He treats me like an Intern but with more respect since I'm his first high school student. I plan to finish my hours soon since I figured out my schedule but hope to find a closer place to my home if it is possible.

Blog 12 - Holiday Project Update




These people are working on the floor planning.

  1. It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you do over the break with your senior project? 
    1. I worked on my Independent Component and know I'm almost done with it I just need to transfer all my logging hours onto my google worksheet. I also worked on finalizing my Essential Question so that it's perfect.  
  2. What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why?  What was the source of what you learned? 
    1. I learned that lighting effects everything because one moment I saw one thing but another time I would see a different color. This was all from me not looking with natural lighting and made my experience very difficult. 
  3. Your third interview will be a 10 question interview related to possible answers for your EQ. Who do you plan to talk to and why?
    1. I would love to talk to my mentors main client (the CEO of the building). She has been working with him since he started his career and loves to have him do her work. She is also a client that gives a lot of feedback and would most likely answer my Essential Question.
