1. State whether or not you currently have a mentor, and what the status of your interview is with that person (I have completed the interview, I have scheduled the interview, I have not scheduled the interview, etc).

- I do currently have a mentor, but I need a new one to get the maximum number of information. As for my interviews, I've completed the first one, but not the second one yet.

2. At this point, your research is probably guiding your studies toward more specific areas within your topic.  Name the area or two you find most promising and explain your reasons.   

- Catch and release fishing, and Trout fishing look pretty promising as catch and release has a huge variety of species and ways to catch the fish. There's a lot to build off of that topic and as for trout fishing, trout fish are located almost worldwide and there's a lot of information behind it such as ways to catch them and different types of targeted trout.

3. What kinds of sources do you think will help you in the next month to gain more research depth?  Where will you go to get them?

- I believe that more hands on experience in this field will help me a lot more within the next few months. I will go drive out to new locations to fish at these areas and I will go on my boat as well.

4. Write down a possible EQ.  Please don't worry about wording other than ensuring that it provides the option for multiple correct answers.  At this point, the senior team is most interested in understanding your thought process.

- What's the most effective way to be conservative to our environment while taking part in the sport of fishing?

1. What has worked well for you concerning senior project this year?  What has made it a positive experience for you?   

- Interviewing my interviewee and spending mentorship hours wit him has really had a huge impact upon with my senior topic. It has made the world and topic of Sport Fishing not just an activity or subject to me, but rather a way of life and a connection. It has made a huge positive impact on me with inner-self and seeing Sport Fishing from a whole different perspective that lights a world of fire and lets me see ways that many others can't see. So, overall this has all been a great experience in teaching me so many different things about it in different ways. 

2. What are you finding difficult concerning senior project?  How can you adapt to make that portion work better for you?  How might the senior team help?

- The only thing that I find difficult is finding time with school now in session, to get out and get more hands-on experience with Sport Fishing rather than verbal stuff. I can adapt with scheduling by adjusting my schedule to evolve around this area and the senior team could help by dedicating an entire day to senior project hours which is highly impossible, but it would be nice. :)
