1. For a career topic she wanted to do ADA which is a person who works with people who have disabilities. And i guess a fun topic would be music. She picked these because she seems interested in them.

•  I told her thats a good start because not many of us see kids with disabilities and told her about my little sister who has autisim.  For her second topic i told her that Ogden is a big help considering his elective class is music and happens to know a lot about it.

2. Her aunt has a child who has a disability and would like to do hours along with the child. For music shes not really sure. maybe going to one of her old music teacher from middle school and see if she can do hours with them.

•  I told her about a place called Casa Colina which is in La Verne for her first topic where she can do some service learning or at least check the place out. For the second one i told her that school is not a good place to check first because they might not let her and think of ther places like a music shop.

3. She's expecting a lot of in depth, like we should really know it by now and topics that dont come into someones mind.

• I said that yes most of us know our topic but that doesnt mean we can put it into words becuase some of us might get stuck or forget everything we need to say or get really nervous. i told her that she should expect to get something out of it but she should remember that many of us are nervous.

4. She wants to know how senior topics work overall, is there any special rubric, and do they have to answer an essential question.

• I told her about the N/C rules and the form we had to sign in the beginning of the year and how it works. some recommendations i told her were that ADA is a good topic because i think theres many disability places out there and some schools that have a special class for them.
