December Blog

Ah, December, the time of the year where I'm broke and have nothing to give to my friends or family... For shame Lauren. For shame...But, anyways. Project. Its going okay. Still working at it. Having some stumbles here and there. Nevertheless, I will prevail against this endeavor of procrastination. So, all I've been doing do far is my mentorship, research, and gathering experience through my independent component. I mean, for this month of December. Its going. Its going.

 

Blog 12: Mentorship 10 Hours

1.   Where are you doing your mentorship?

• Here at school, Mrs. Eastwood works here as the school psychologist, so its pretty easy to get a hold of her if I have a question.

2.   Who is your contact?

• Sarah Eastwood. She works here for this school. I often see her on Mondays and Tuesdays. The other counselors who work alongside her also has her contacts. I often turn to them if I needed to call her.

3.   How many  hours have you done during the school year? (Summer Mentorship Hours and Mentorship Hours should be reflected separately in your Senior Project Hours log located on the right hand side of your blog).

• I have done about 25 hours of mentorship. Not including my summer hours. For most of the time, I do one-on-one therapy and some small things for her, help her with her word document when she needs it.

4.   Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.

• I mostly do independent component with her. one-on-one therapy or group therapy.

*You need 50 hours plus the original 10 in the summer by May.   The original 10 from the summer do not count toward the 50.  By the end of the year, you will have 60 hours counting that original 10.

Blog 11: Holiday Project Update

1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you do over the break with your senior project?

• For the most part, I just stayed at home to study on my new books on my topic, read about mental disorders online, and worked on my PowerPoint for my project.

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 have learned is that child development plays a big part into future mental disorders or difficulties. I read a lot about mental disorders online, and found that most are caused by either household and peer pressures.

3.  If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for your EQ, who would you talk to and why?

• I would talk to my mentor for this interview. I feel that this upcoming interview would be more important than the rest. I don't really know why, but I really would like to interview my mentor for this. Perhaps its because I feel as though I could ask better questions and have an easier time to communicate with her.
