I am doing my thesis individually now because my partner did something with a classmate over the summer and would like to extend upon that. I am now pretty iffy about my topic and want to take the weekend to sit down and think about what I really want to do, where I will find my mentors and judges, and whether or not I have a big enough budget to pull my project through. I want to do something science-related in college, but I don't have many connections with scientists or doctors. I will look on the TAG facebook page and see if I can find someone to help me. In my college applying process, I have started my first essay for Apply Texas. I have an idea of what I will be doing for the essay. I have essays from previous programs, internships, and scholarships that will help me in this essay. I have decided that I will finish this essay within a week, get it reviewed, and finalize it by Sep. 12th. That's the status so far.

My thesis topic is a little vague right now, but Cameron and I will discuss together how to narrow it down. We want to discover and share the best way for teachers to teach and the best way for students to learn, producing a great high school experience that both educators and pupils deserve. We want to do this by teaching a class here at TAG. We were thinking of teaching a core subject. Also, Mr.Correa, do you know if we could teach an AP class without any credit (not show up on the transcript) and have them take the respective AP at the end of the year? If not that, we were thinking of tutoring for a national exam such as the PSAT, SAT, or ACT. My idea of a final product is a book. We want to include a teacher's perspective, a student's perspective, and finally our corrections on what the actual perspective should be. We want to use our teaching skills and a teacher's teaching skills and compare test averages of the two different classes. We are hoping to know what subject/subjects to teach and come up with the curriculum before October starts. We also need to know if we can use the copy machine for copying packets and the process for students to sign up. We also would like to have our own "reaching college application time" blog to help rising seniors. That's it for now.
