1. Positive Statement
What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?
What I am most proud of in my presentation are my "flyers" that I had used in my activity because I loved the fact that I actually used photos and information from the animals at my shelter. I really was able to look at the photo I had chosen for my activity and write from my memory of what I remember from that dog or cat.
2. Questions to Consider
a. What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?
I would give myself a P because I met all of the considerations and I also met speaking time. However I don't believe I went above and beyond to consider an AE for my presentation
b. Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.
According to the Lesson 2 component contract I am eligible for P consideration. Also looking through the rest of the contract I do believe that I had no concern with any of the content listed in the chart.
3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
What worked for my in my Lesson 2 Presentation was having a powerpoint because I know if I did not have it would not be as organized and it would be more difficult for me to know what I had to say next. I also believe that it makes it easier to display photos of my choice.
4. (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
If I had time machine I would have fixed my powerpoint because I feel I could have organized it differently to make it a more effective powerpoint. Another think I would have liked to fix was my eq poster. I had a completely different idea for it that was not accomplished, all in all I was not proud of my poster.
5. Finding Value
What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?
I believe my second answer would be focusing on different ways to advertise that is put to use outside of the shelter. I might go with internet promotion but I am not sure yet due to the lack of research I have that can support my eq. So hopefully as I get my research moving along this week I will be able to create options for me to choose from for my second and possibly third answer.

Blog 11: Mentorship 10 Hours Check
1. Where are you doing your mentorship?
2. Who is your contact?
3. How many total hours have you done (total hours should be reflected in your mentorship log located on the right hand side of your blog like your WB)?
I do not know how many total hours I have as of now because when I arrive at the shelter I log on to a computer that keeps track of the times I enter and leave. I still have to reach my main contact and ask if he is able to give me a printed paper where all my hours are displayed and when I did them. Only then will I be able to update my mentorship log
4. Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.
5. Email your house teacher the name of your contact and their phone number confirming who they should call to verify it.
Done!
I am doing my mentorship at the Upland Animal Shelter.
2. Who is your contact?
My main contact is Olar.

4. Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.
The 10 hours I did over the summer was not at my animal shelter but at a veterinarian clinic. There I just followed a vet all day and was able to see some interesting cases.
5. Email your house teacher the name of your contact and their phone number confirming who they should call to verify it.

Senior Project, The Holiday
1. It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school. What did you over the break with your senior project?
I was able to go to my shelter more often than usual and I was able to obtain a couple of articles to help with my research.
2. What was the most important thing you learned from what you did and why? What was the source of what you learned?
The most important thing I learned is how to manage my time more efficiently. At the shelter there are times when I have to do multiple things at once and so I have to choose which one is more urgent or important and do that first. Then everything else that I have to do falls into place, and I have to do these things with speed. For example, there was a day were there were not many volunteers. I was showing a dog when a worker comes over and asks me that when I was done if I was able to show another dog. I said yes of course but I also wanted to get some food to certain dogs and clean else where. So there I had to organize myself and make the most of my time. I showed the dogs first, then I fed the dogs, and finally I cleaned where there was a mess. By knowing what I had to do next I was able to make the most of the time I had left instead of going around in circles trying to figure out what to do next.
3. If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers of your EQ, who would you talk to and why?
I would choose to interview either Juan or Olar because both work for the animal shelter and both are easy to talk to. I am comfortable talking with them so interviewing one of them would not be awkward or one sentence answers.
