(1) What is your essential question, and what are your answers? What is your best answer and why?
"How can an adolescent maximize personal fitness?" My answers are: enjoyment, motivation, balance. I believe enjoyment is the best answer from my research because my research and interview with a personal trainer both pointed me in that direction.
(2) What process did you take to arrive at this answer?
I tried to keep the research count balanced when it came to my three answers. However, the more I read into them they all has an underlining theme of being able to do these things with a positive outlook vs someone who has no interest in doing exercise. My interview with Danny Navarro finalize my decision because he put it simply, " Enjoyment will create motivation and will lead to the balance that people need."
(3) What problems did you face? How did you resolve them?
The first problem I faced in the senior project was that my first mentor, Danny Navarro, was unable to be my mentor anymore, and then to resolve that I started mentoring with my uncle, Edwin Sic. Another problem I faced was that my second answer was rather shallow in terms of research for solely "intrinsic motivation" to resolve that I changed my second answer to general motivation which helped me further my research.
(4) What are the two most significant sources you used to answer your essential question and why?
The two most significant sources I used to answer my EQ were WebMD and Huffington Post. Those two sites were the leading sites where I found the most significant and reoccurringly relevant resources for my answers which helped answer my EQ.
