Day 12

November 1, 2011

Seung Ha joined me today at the Med Campus. We started with Kellin explaining my project to her and showing her what I was doing. Not long after, JM arrived so we could do our interviews. Seung Ha and I interviewed our mentors simultaneously. It was very interesting and fun to learn more about each of them. The interview lasted longer than expected which was about 45 minutes. The most interesting fact that I found out about my mentor was that he used to comepetitvely dance in middle school and high school. The most interesting fact that I found out about Seung Ha's mentor was that he used to want to be a lumberjack all throughout his childhood. Once we finished the mentors' interviews, we interviewed Dr. Mao together. I asked the questions while Seung Ha wrote down his answers. He really focused on his family and how it was one of his main priorities. I found it funny and interesting how he claimed that he had "lost all of his creativity" ever since he became a scientist. We kind of had to speed up the last few questions since we were  out of time.
