(1) Positive Statement: What positive thing happen as a result of what you have completed so far?
There has been many positive things that have happened to me so far because of the research I have done on firefighting. It definitely gave me a better understanding of how the fire department works and makes me want to learn even more about it. It also has shown me that becoming a firefighter is extremely hard and could take a very long time before you could get a job, so it is always a good idea to have a backup job.
(2) EQ Content: Pick a piece of research or your interview. How has it helped you improve your understanding of your topic?
There was a piece of research that explained the top 10 things to do before becoming a firefighter. It really helps because it shows what fire departments are looking for and the classes to take to become certified early on.
(3) What has worked for you so far in the senior project?
The research portion of the senior project has worked well for me so far. Research is very easy to fin and people have written a lot of articles on firefighting in general.
(4) What hasn't worked so far?
Getting in contact with my mentor has not worked out so well. I have tried to get in contact with him countless of numbers of times and even for my interview he never got back to me so I had to switch it at the last second.
(5) Finding Value: Based on your experience so far.
What possible question or questions come to mind regarding what you would like to study this year?
What are the best colleges to go to when wanting to become a firefighter?
Why is becoming a firefighter so hard?
What is your goal this year with your senior project?
My main goal this year is to become more educated in the firefighting field. I would like to get the best information so when I go to college I can start doing my studies right off the bat with minimal research because I did the majority of it senior year. I would also like to continue my volunteer firefighting experience.
Who would you like to talk to you next? Why?
I would like to talk to my mentor next because he is a captain and has many years in the firefighting field and is very knowledgeable when it comes to that.
