Independent Component 2

Literal

(a) I, Esther Solis, affirm that I have completed my independent component which represents more than 30 hours of work.

(b) I volunteered at Club Aspire where I do my service learning. I helped with the care of some of the kids that attend there. I also helped with some of the activities and outings that took place in the facility. I was able to get to know individuals and understand them at a deeper level.

Interpretive

I worked with the kids and got to know most of them and their own personalities. I learned a lot about some of their disorders and was able to help them out more than I could before. I volunteered for 40 hours Mondays and Fridays.

 Some of the different activities that took place with the kids from Club Aspire.

Applied

This helped me with my EQ because one of my answers is Being able to assess your patients at the start of your therapy session. With this I was able to get to know these kids and be able to notice how their attitude change and when, why it happens. I'm able to see in what mood their in now when they go to the dance/movement therapy session.

I interviewed Jazmine Solis Thursday 26, 2012 at 2:25.

(1) What ideas do you have for your senior project and why?

• Baking because she wants to learn the skills needed for it. Nursing because it is a possible career choice.
• I told her to find an ROP class by now because it is the easiest way to learn your topic accurately.

(2) What do you plan to do to complete the 10 hours of service learning (working with an expert) which is due prior to senior year starting?  Note: They also have to complete the 50 hours during the school year.

• Work or Volunteer at a bakery or a private practice. 
• What feedback did you offer them in response? Make sure you make connections because these are the people that could help you with your components and research.

(3) What do you hope to see or expect to see when watching the class of 2012 present their two hour presentations?

• Hope to learn topics and take something from it. Hope to be engaged and entertained.
• Just try to get through the ones that are as appealing to you and understand that these kids might be very overwhelmed.

(4) What questions do they have about senior project?  What additional recommendations would you give the 2013 student about senior project?  Be specific and note what you told them.

• What can you tell me about the interviews?
• What about above and beyond? 
• How is the stress?
• What is Science Fair about?

  Make sure you don't procrastinate and ask your house teacher for any questions you may have. You should use your contacts and connections to get research. Look into a more of the details. This will help you back up your answers.
