Blog 4: Interview Preparation

1.  Who do you plan to interview?  Why?
A: I plan to interview an ice skating coach due to the fact that she/he might have an idea of the different types of ice skating that relate to my question. (Ice skating types referring to fitness skating, compulsory skating, etc.)

2.  You have to ask 5 questions. What additional questions do you plan to ask? 

• What are some benefits from ice skating?
• How does teaching others how to skate benefit you as a coach?
• There are many different forms of ice skating. How can these different forms of ice skating help someone better themselves? (For example, if a skater was training for a competition.)
• To you, what is most important about ice skating?
• Does perseverance play an important role?

Summer Mentorship Component

1.) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10-j-6eSl6REFMs8J-CVVZnoL_dg8QYMnhPDL-dBblHY/htmlview?usp=drive_web

2.) What is the contact name and number of where you volunteered?
A: It was more so like I volunteered with a person. His name is Pedro Pachamango. (909-996-1854)

3.) What questions were raised because of the 10 hours of experience?
A: I noticed that your practically all over the place when it comes to places where you perform. Is performing at many different locations a good way to earn pay? How many days a week do you work? Is it hard working two gigs? (Working during both day and night.) Do you enjoy the places where you perform? What inspired you to be a musician as your career?

4.) What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
A: It would be that sometimes in order to earn pay, you have to be willing to go many places. Whether it'd be near or far. You would also have to provide your own musical equipment such as speakers, stands, amplifiers, etc.

5.) What is your senior project topic going to be? How did what you did help you choose a topic? Please explain.
A: Originally I wanted to do Ice Skating as my senior project. However, I realize that the volunteer process took longer than expected, so when I ran out of time I had turned to my dad. My dad is an underground musician, so he's not famous but he works at small and sometimes large venues. I still plan to do my senior project on Ice Skating. I have Ice Skated before in the past, and I think it would be a great opportunity to share more about Ice Skating since not very many people know about it. I like the idea of maybe doing my senior project on what my dad does because he is a professional musician, but Ice Skating is more of my own personal choice.
