Blog 14- Interview Three preparation

1) Who do you plan to interview ? What is this persons expertise in this area?
The person I plan to interview is Holbert Homes. He is a local skater from my town of Pomona who is currently riding for Kings board shop and has many sponsors . On his way to being a professional soon.

2.  Verify that you have called your interviewee to schedule an interview.  What is the date and time of the interview? Still working on verification. Hopefully some time next week .

3.  Phrase an open-ended question that will help you find research resources that would help to answer the EQ. What has skateboarding done for you and what have you done with what it has given you?

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).
Does your social skills have a impact on your career as a skater?

5.  Phrase two open-ended questions that help you to understand your interviewee's perspective on an aspect of your EQ. 
How do you maintain your status as skater?
How important are Video parts to you?

Blog 13: 10 Hour Mentorship Check-in

1.   Where are you doing your mentorship? 
I was doing my mentor ship with a current professional skateboarder Boo Johnson but due to lack of an open schedule , i will be switching my mentor over to a semi-professional skateboarder (still waiting on conformation from individual). 


2.   Who is your contact?  What makes this person an expert?
The semi-professional skateboarder I have plans on mentoring is named Oliver Lucero who has sponsors that he makes a living off of. Oliver is an expert in this field because he has the skill and popularity that i am looking for to help me answer my essential question. 

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). I did around 12-15 hours with Boo not counting my summer hours. I haven't talked to Boo about the 10 hour check in call due to his Busy Schedule (reasons why i'm switching mentors). Will have him call in for the 10 hours when i do get a hold on him. 

4.   Succinctly summarize what you did, how well you and your mentor worked together, and how you plan to complete the remaining hours. Boo showed me a lot on how he maintains his status and fame as a pro and that really helped me with what i needed, i'm hoping Oliver will be able to help me the same way as Boo has been. I plan on completing the rest of my hours with Oliver.

Blog 12- Holiday Project Update

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? i didn't really get the chance to meet with mentor over break, however i did get to work on my independent component a lot through my break.

2.) What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why?  What was the source of what you learned? Hmm i guess i would have to say i learned dedication because i did not expect the video to be this hard.

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? Either a professional skateboarder or a skateboarder on their way there because they're the only ones who could help me really answer me EQ.
