Bhavesh Maharaj-Learn Guitar and Music Theory
Claim: I will learn the basics on how to play classical acoustic guitar and also will learn the music theory associated with that stage in learning.
Reason: I have always had an interest in music and the guitar is one of the instruments I have always wanted to learn. Now that I have a willing teacher and the time to learn, I finally can reach this goal.
Evidence: As of right now, the only thing that I have done is buy a beginner's guitar and have discussed the project with my mentor. By the end of the year, I want to have learned all of the chords and chord progressions, as well as basic scales and maybe even a couple of songs. I will present this in the M building at the end of the school year.

This project gives me a chance to learn with familiar people and with people that I have worked well with in the past. I will be able to exercise my mind, away from the rigors of schoolwork and just play.

Mr. Asif's Guide To Keeping Your Mouth Clean
Claim: For my senior project I plan on passing on my knowledge about how to keep teeth clean, healthy, and white like Chinese rice.
Reason: I want people to realize just how important is keeping their mouths clean. The world will be a much safer place when we keep our mouths clean.
Evidence: I plan on using two of my little cousins as patients. I will make one brush his teeth after every meal and the other brush his teeth only in the morning and before bed. Both will be forced to floss and rinse with listerine. Note that they are being paid well. I will keep a journal and take photos of their teeth and show the difference. I will be sure to note discolorations, how long before gums bleed, breath odor, etc.
Value: This project will let people know the importance of keeping their mouths clean. It is estimated that only 23% of people on this planet floss daily. Brushing teeth only cleans 60% of your teeth. Flossing is supposed to clean up the other 40%. This project will help people and I will learn from it as well which will help me in the future when I become a dentist.
