October Blog Post
I have yet to find a mentor for my senior project. . .however I will be starting my independent component hours in the beginning of November, I will be taking ice skating lessons. I will also soon be updating my independent component hours. Hopefully when I do my independent component hours, I'll be able to ask about a possible mentor ship. If all doesn't avail, I will ask for my house teachers for help.

September Blog Post
Currently I have been researching articles and other sources of figure skating information at library websites. I have also been resorting to videos for sources. I have not found a mentor yet but I know for sure I will find some. I found out several universities have ice skating programs, so I will soon email them and hopefully find a stable mentor.
Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Approval
1.) I plan to either take ice skating lessons, or view what the skaters do during practice.
2.) Maybe take pictures. And of course updating the blog.
3.) If I get one on one, hands on training then I will have actual experience and more information along with it. Learning hands on is a great way of learning something.
4.) Update you Senior Project Hours Blog

Blog 5 - Mentorship Reflection
1. Mentorship question: Describe your experience in how you found your mentorship? If you haven't found one yet, describe your experience so far in the search of a mentor.
A: So far, finding a mentor is kind of tough. Especially, when someone says they can provide you with a mentorship, but don't go through with what they say. Then again, the process of volunteering somewhere does take a while, so for now I'm going to keep calling and emailing all the places I've contacted so far.
2. Research question: What has been your most important article you have read so far and why?
A: So far I have found an article on a British website that describes figure skating. It tends to describe certain small aspects that make up the graceful sport.

August Mentorship
At this moment I have a hard time finding a mentor. I do have one particular lead who is willing to offer me a mentorship. I will ask him more about it when I go for my interview which is scheduled for the 9/2. (I have separate questions for the interview.) Currently, I am making other phone calls to different ice rinks around the area. I hope that the person I go interview will give me a mentorship opportunity like he said he will.
