1. What has worked well for you concerning senior project this year?  What has made it a positive experience for you?   

My senior project has been coming along pretty well. Working with the City of San Dimas has gone efficiently and supplies from the vendors have all arrived promptly and with minimal cost. Overall this experience has been a lot of work between the long days at the football field on game days and the never ending inbox of e-mails I constantly have to be checking and replying to, but in the end it has been rewarding seeing the first season play out with minimal glitches. 

2. What are you finding difficult concerning senior project?  How can you adept to make that portion work better for you?  How might the senior team help?

The most difficult portion of my senior project will have to be dealing with certain parents and coaches. The majority of the league runs well but it is the few that make a fuss when things aren't going their way or information has to be spoon fed to them personally instead of using common sense that make the work more difficult. I'm not sure of any way the senior team can assist with this unless they can reteach adults on how to check e-mails, or to scroll down on PDFs.
