1. For my first interview, I plan to interview one of my former teachers. He was my AVID teacher and I know he is one that I can always go to for help or advice on anything. He knows many people and will certainly find me another connection on what I want to do. I know a teacher may seem far from what I chose, but I know he has a wide range of knowledge and will provide me with the information I need.
2. Additional questions I plan to ask will most likely be about my actual topic.
For example, "What do you think about running a business?" ,
"What do you feel is the most important part of running any type of business?" ,
"What do you think about owning a business in the Spa and Resort industry?" ,
"What type of hardships will be encountered along the process of starting a business?" ,
"How do you feel about Spas?"

Blog 3: Topic Choice and Semester 1 ESLR Goals
1. Topic Choice: Running a Resort / Spa
2. To show growth in each of the ELSR's, I plan to prepare and be sure to be responsible for not only myself, but the others around me.
Effective Learner: To be an effective learner I will certainly need to go beyond what is given in front of me and use my creativity in order to be more successful. This will definitely help with my Senior Project and to contribute to either iFest or Scarefair. For my core classes, I will be sure to ask and develop more questions for further understanding and not limit myself to my resources.
Effective Communicator: To achieve this, I will have to express myself in a positive way towards others especially during group work or any other house activities. It is best that I maintain a positive attitude towards everyone and everything in order to cooperate with my classmates.This is important because I need to contribute to others rather than mess with their "level". This will definitely be used through out the whole year whether it is for group work or the committees I join.
Effective User of Technology: What I need to show most growth in is being an effective user of technology. I'm familiar with technology, but I am planning to incorporate it more in projects and other activities in order to advance with it. I need to get out of my comfort zone and explore the technological resources. I will share what I know with others while also asking for help. My goal is to use technology to contribute to any of the school activities by the end of this year.
Effective Ipoly Citizen: As an Ipoly citizen, I will prove to maintain a positive attitude and effort towards everyone and everything just as I mentioned before. This will make me be a better person when I join committees because I am going to have to work with my peers and get things done. I will participate in as many committees as I can in order to prove that I am responsible in helping out.

Interpretive:
4. The most important thing I gained from this experience was how to handle the many different types of personalities that come from kids of different ages. It runs from 7 year olds to 17 year olds. Patience and commitment was a major part of the day because these kids are there from 8 to 3:30 in the afternoon. Handling different situations and making sure the program kept on schedule and on task was something I had to focus on.
Applied:
5. These hours of mentorship helped me choose my topic because it somewhat relates to what I want to do in life. I want to be able to interact with others, help them, and be able to run something on my own. It is a lot for one person to handle but can be done.
