Juaquin: My topic is how to create metal sculpture. Over the break my brother and I made a Darth Vader shield out of steel and other metals and we sold it for $400.  I am going to teach you how to weld and combine metals.  Next I'm going to sculpt a flower and show you a video of how I did it.

Vanessa: I want to know how to create a business.  In agriculture business has special requirements, and I want to learn more about strawberries, cannabis, and other crop-based businesses.

Erasmo: I want to learn more about American football.  I get out my anger when I play defense and hit people, and I want to understand how this works so I can help others understand it.

Erandi: I am interested in makeup.  Over the break I created looks for people.  I want to become a makeup artist in the future.

Valentin:  What happens to our body and our consciousness after we die?  I am going to do research online and interview people who have had near-death experiences.

Alondra: How can we learn from older people who have a lot of experience?  Over the break I studied psychology and I learned that I wasn't motivated for my old topic because I don't have patience for people my age.  I want to learn from older people because they can give a lot of good advice.

Jasmine: How can I become a preschool teacher?  Over the break I learned that I need patience with young children.  My research was boring and I got less interested, so now I want to learn more about how to do nails.

Luis: I want to become a soccer coach.  I will Google this.  I will also talk to my uncle.  I like the sport because it involves skill and helps us become healthier.

Enrique: I want to learn how to drift-- how to transition into a corner when you're driving.  This is interesting to me because you're putting all this work into a car and then pushing it to perform at its limit.  I'm going to find racing schools so I can learn to drive better and drift.

Ricardo:  Why are things called what they're called?  Why is a phone called a PHONE or an iPHONE?  Did people just make up words?  I'm developing this right now because I haven't done research yet, so I have a lot to learn.
