Blog 7 (New Topic) - Independent Component 1 Approval
1.) Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
A: I plan to apply to another animal shelter. One that is different then a regular cat and dog filled one. It is a "bunny" shelter that houses bunnies, chinchillas, hamster, guinea pigs and small rodents of that kind. I will also plan to help out on weekends for an event such as adoption events, or promotion events.
2.) Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
A: I will keep a volunteer log, and have the coordinators sign it. Maybe show photo evidence.
3.) And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.
A: Since I plan to do my project on No-Kill shelters, this different animal environment. Meaning, this will give me a different perspective than the typical dog-cat animal shelter.
4.) Update senior blog hours.

2.) What additional questions do you plan to ask? (Ask open ended questions.)
- How are you today? What made you want to work with animals? Tell me a little about yourself, and your experience with the animals.
- What is like to care for an animal in need?
- What's the difference in caring for an animal who is saved from a no-kill shelter, than one that customers can drop off?
- How do you find the animals from no-kill shelters? Do you go to a no-kill shelter in person?
- Caution is necessary when handling an animal who is sick. Is it harder to care for an animal in the shelter, than say if it were at an animal hospital? What's the difference?
- Is it hard finding home for animals? Do city limits prevent individuals from adoption?

November Post
Okay, so earlier this month I was rejected mentorship offers for my previos senior topic, Ice Skating. Once that happened, I looked online to see if I was able to find more opportunities. I came across certain animal shelters and rescues that needed volunteers. I emailed as many as I could and so far I have found about two places to volunteer at. I attended an orientation at the Priceless Pets shelter, so I will be signing up for my volunteer schedule very soon. I will be speaking with Ortega tomorrow about the topic change.

Lesson 1 Reflection
1.) What are you most proud of your Lesson 1 Presentation and why?
A: I am most proud of the fact that I kept the audience engaged and entertained. I felt like the audience was really paying attention to what I had to say.
2.) a. What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 1 presentation? (Self assessment)
A: I would give myself about an AP. Simply because I turned in my rough draft lesson plan late. I also believe that I didn't really have much to say about certain things that I had mentioned in my topic.
b. Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 1 component contract.
A: I believe that I deserve an AP, due to the fact that I turned in my rough draft lesson plan late. I also feel like I didn't give out too much information as I would have liked to.
3.) What worked for you in your Lesson 1?
A: Well I am glad the audience engaged in my presentation. I also like how I drew a small image on the board that related to my presentation. Pacing worked just as well too, it shows I used my spacing efficiently.
4.) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 1?
A: I think I would've liked to better prepare myself for the presentation. Also, I think I would've liked to show a video about what I talked about as an example.

If all doesn't avail, I will ask for my house teachers for help.

Blog 5 - Mentorship Reflection
1. Mentorship question: Describe your experience in how you found your mentorship? If you haven't found one yet, describe your experience so far in the search of a mentor.
A: So far, finding a mentor is kind of tough. Especially, when someone says they can provide you with a mentorship, but don't go through with what they say. Then again, the process of volunteering somewhere does take a while, so for now I'm going to keep calling and emailing all the places I've contacted so far.
2. Research question: What has been your most important article you have read so far and why?
A: So far I have found an article on a British website that describes figure skating. It tends to describe certain small aspects that make up the graceful sport.

August Mentorship
At this moment I have a hard time finding a mentor. I do have one particular lead who is willing to offer me a mentorship. I will ask him more about it when I go for my interview which is scheduled for the 9/2. (I have separate questions for the interview.) Currently, I am making other phone calls to different ice rinks around the area. I hope that the person I go interview will give me a mentorship opportunity like he said he will.

Summer Mentorship Component
1.) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10-j-6eSl6REFMs8J-CVVZnoL_dg8QYMnhPDL-dBblHY/htmlview?usp=drive_web
2.) What is the contact name and number of where you volunteered?
A: It was more so like I volunteered with a person. His name is Pedro Pachamango. (909-996-1854)
3.) What questions were raised because of the 10 hours of experience?
A: I noticed that your practically all over the place when it comes to places where you perform. Is performing at many different locations a good way to earn pay? How many days a week do you work? Is it hard working two gigs? (Working during both day and night.) Do you enjoy the places where you perform? What inspired you to be a musician as your career?
4.) What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
A: It would be that sometimes in order to earn pay, you have to be willing to go many places. Whether it'd be near or far. You would also have to provide your own musical equipment such as speakers, stands, amplifiers, etc.
5.) What is your senior project topic going to be? How did what you did help you choose a topic? Please explain.
A: Originally I wanted to do Ice Skating as my senior project. However, I realize that the volunteer process took longer than expected, so when I ran out of time I had turned to my dad. My dad is an underground musician, so he's not famous but he works at small and sometimes large venues. I still plan to do my senior project on Ice Skating. I have Ice Skated before in the past, and I think it would be a great opportunity to share more about Ice Skating since not very many people know about it. I like the idea of maybe doing my senior project on what my dad does because he is a professional musician, but Ice Skating is more of my own personal choice.
