    Who do you plan to interview and why?
    My neighbor, because he used to be a professional paintball player.

    What more will you ask and why?
    Why did you become a professional paintball player?

    What were the steps you took to get to the professional level?

    How long did it take you to reach your goal of becoming a professional player?




    What is the most important thing you learned from your interview and why?
    The most important thing I learned was that my neighbor that was an ex professional paint ball player is actually a really good source of information because he was in the industry so long so he got to know people. So if I ever need information I could go to him. Plus I also learned a lot about the professional paintball player world and things I never knew.

    2) What was most challenging to do and why?
     The most challenging thing to do was probably to find something about paint balling that i could present about and make people interested because we all knew that whatever we present in this we cant present about in our 2 hour presentation.

    Topic Choice

    What is your topic?:
    My current senior project idea is paintballing.
    Why did you choose this topic?:
    Ever since I first shot my first paintball gun back when i was 11 ive always had an interest for the sport or game or whatever you want to call it. I started playing when i was 13 and I continue to play now. Over the  years of playing I have aquired much skill and knowledge for the sport and have had many comments like "hey man, you should join a team, your really good!" So I guess you could say its my thing.
    What do you hope to accomplish after studying this topic all year?:
    I hope to come out this year with even more knowledge for the sport and to even possibly pass on my passion for the sport. I also hope to teach people everything there is to know about paintballing and possibly even create new paintballers.
