This project was a very unique and interesting project for me. I had never spent this long on any of my project in my entire life. It has been a great experience and it has helped me a lot mentally. I wrote me paper on the two largest aircraft suppliers. I had little knowledge about their history and how the industry works considering I wanted to be a part of it being an aeronautical engineer. I researched for a lot of sources for the paper. This paper helped me a lot on writing an essay. I had never written a more organized paper. For my presentation, I chose the topic law as I couldn't find a mentor who could help me with aerospace industry.
I spent a lot of time with my mentor and he helped me a lot in understanding the topic. I didn't have much knowledge about how to become a lawyer and about law but after all this time I have a better vision on this topic. Personally, I learned a lot about law and order, and how the legal procedures work. I don't think I got much gain socially as I didn't get involved physically. I mostly researched online and didn't take part in the project physically so I didn't gain any social experience.
The most challenging part about this project was finding a mentor. My teacher successfully helped me with initial works and I had no trouble at the beginning. I searched a lot of places for mentor and couldn't find anyone. I had to change the topic, which was also another challenge as I had to start from the bottom again. Overall, this project has been very important for me and I will definitely use the experience I got from this project in my future life.

Time spent with mentor
I met my mentor on May 12 and May 14. I spent a total of 5 hours during the two days with him. During these two days he mostly helped me on my presentation and prepared me for it. He taught me different interesting ideas on how to do presentation. Besides that, I also learned about some new laws that will most likely be implemented. He explained me all the advantages and disadvantages of those laws and I found many interesting facts. Lastly, he filled out my mentor evaluation form.

I met with my mentor on may 4th and 5th. My mentor had gone to visit some places lately, so I couldn't spend time with him over the past few weeks. For the first day, he gave me brief explanation of the major courses required in law school. I learned about civil and criminal law, contracts and their violation law. I learned about classes based on increasing our vocabulary and leadership.
For the second day, we continued and I learned about legal writing procedure, critical thinking and many more key areas everyone has to focus in.
I spent a total of 6 hours this weekend with my mentor.

Time Spent with Mentor
Throughout the holidays, I spent almost 1 and a half hour everyday with my mentor. I couldn't meet him on wednesday because I went out with my family the whole day.
On my first day i.e. Friday, my mentor taught me about the requirements to become a lawyer. I found out many interesting details. He also explained me why this profession is long-lasting and why I should be involved in it. He also taught me how to get to law school. One of the most important detail I noticed was being logical and applying skills.
On Saturday he continued with how i should prepare for law school and also told me how he got into law school and all his experiences.
On Sunday he told me about the courses in law school. During the first year, students are given common laws and foundational subjects. I also found out about courses from UCLA school of law website. He told me to pick the subjects that are most useful to me and those which will help me in next years. He told me how he set up his courses and planned for it.
On Monday and Tuesday we talked about the final presentation. Since he completed his high school and College in another country he had different types of projects. He had done a similar project in his final year at the law school. We also talked about some of the entrance test and the level of difficulty in law school. He highly recommended me to take LSAT(which is now a requirement).
On Thursday he talked about all the courses he took and the ones which are very important. He also gave me a brief explanation of all the subjects. He concluded to never give up. Many of his friends quit the law school and went of a different profession. He never quit because he enjoyed the profession and warned me not to take the profession as long as I really like it.
On Friday and Saturday he talked about his experience throughout being a lawyer. He said me "Lawyers are get paid very much. One of my friend got paid 190 thousand in a year for handling a case. I always had better grades than him but in this profession all that matter is how you can deal with the situation.". For the most of his time he talked about the cases he dealt with, his success and his failures.
In total I spent 13 hours with my mentor during the spring break.

Time spent with Mentor
On march 7, I met with my mentor and spent 2 hours discussing about law. Firstly, I understood that becoming a lawyer requires a lot of learning and able to understand and interprete the things being told. He spent a total of 6 years of learning after high school. I understood that laws and policies vary from country to country. For the most part he told me about how he used to learn and did during exams.
