1) She wanted to do either autistic child development or event planning. She wanted to do child development because she knows someone with autism and already has some connections in that area. Event planning, was another option, however, she felt that it may be difficult to get service learning and I explained that she should pick whichever one is more fun for her and she is more passionate about because of possibly getting tired of senior project. I also told her about Norma who is also doing event planning and maybe talking with her for more info.

2) Since she knows someone with autism, she thought she could do service learning with that person's teacher. For event planning, she was gonna ask her friend's aunt who works as an event planner. I told her that those would both be great places to start and again talked about Norma.

3) She hopes to learn more about child development and event planning. She wants to see the senior presentations on those topics in order to learn more and decide on a final topic.

4) She didn't have any other questions and I just went over how she should think when she decides on a topic because I felt that it's better to get a fun topic vs a rigorous academic topic.

1) His ideas were either video game journalism or WW2 reenactments. I could tell he was passionate about both and felt.either topic was fine. Just service learning may be hard especially for video game journalism because it is like the entertainment industry and he may not have a lot of options. But we also talked about independent component options.

2) For video game journalism, he wasn't too sure. He was gonna write reviews on games, but it seemed more like an independent component. For reenactments, he knows a group that does things like that and was thinking of talking to somone in charge of the group and perhaps joining them.

3) For senior pesentations, he was hoping to go into gaming or history ones and also kind of get more ideas. He wants to see presentations be interesting and factual and I told him aboit some of the different topics we have this year according to his interests.

4) He didn't have any other questions and I talked to him a little more about his topics.
