1. What three lessons were helpful for you to see and why?

• Law: Since I plan on becoming a prosecuting attorney, taking this lesson helped me get an idea of how law, or at least one branch of it works. What also helped was that this was done in perspective of the lawyer, not the prosecutor, so it helped me understand both sides of the coin.
• State Politics: In case I want to become a politician after some time as an attorney, I thought it would be helpful to start small and learn small-scale politics, and there was no better way to learn that than finding out how politics work in my state.
• U.S. Military Intelligence: This can also help in my possible future career as a politician since a politician has to know what's going on in his country and how info is obtained by the U.S. military, our country's backbone.

2. List one thing that you learned about the senior project in interviews that will help you get off to a good start.

I asked the person doing law about how to get a mentor, so that I can plan ahead and try to do my mentorship as soon as possible.

3. What topic(s) are you considering, and why?

My senior project will revolve around law; now there are many branches in law, but regardless of branch, lawyers typically follow the same protocol, which is to defend his or her client. I do not want to be a lawyer though, so my main topic will be criminal prosecuting, since 'prosecutor' isn't something that usually comes up in any students' minds when law or lawyers are mentioned and because it's just something I really want to do. I'm the type of person that likes to bring justice and find truth in a world of lies, and that's what prosecutors are usually all about. Plus, criminal prosecutors can investigate and look at evidence beforehand, unlike lawyers, giving the opportunity to plan ahead for their case.

4. What EQ do you think might be interesting to consider in guiding a project like this?


As I've stated in the previous answer, prosecutors are all about bringing justice and finding truth. Finding truth...

My EQ will most likely revolve around that aspect.

5. What are some ideas you have about finding summer mentorship?

My main goal is to get my mentorship at the DA's office located in Downtown L.A. I've already planned ahead and applied there, and I have yet to get my confirmation (which will be soon).

However, if, by any chance, I cannot get my mentorship there (which would be very disappointing), I am always prepared with a backup plan; my backup plan is to call the local court to get my mentorship there (thanks to the person who did his presentation on law and my mom for the info on local courts).
