Blog 22: Independent Component 2

(a)  I, Sabrina Velez, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.

(b)  The sources that I used were number 32 and 39 they can be found in my WB. Another source I used was my mentor and some of the volunteers I work with.

(c) Update log hours (yup did that)

(d) What I have done for this independent component is created flyers for those animals in need at the shelter. I would select a couple animals. I would take them out an play with them. I would write down notes that way I know what to put on the flyer. This also help people better understand the animal before they come to the shelter. I wanted to spread the word to the community and the people that pass through the shelter sometimes.

(e)

I basically took pictures before I would posted them at the shelter and at my community center

After I collected them all this is how much I had in the end, there are more underneath  

(f) This component helped me answer my EQ by showing how animals can easily get adopted if one, someone actually spent time with them and got to know them and two spreading the word to those around us. This also answered my EQ because it is an effective way to get animals adopted not only effective but much better. What I mean when I say much better is the adopter gets to know a little bit more information about the animal and about their behavior. I wouldn't want someone returning an animal just because they were mislead by the "cuteness" or by its physical appearance.

Blog 21: Interview 4 Reflection

1. What is the most important thing you learned from the interview?
    The most important thing I learned is that even though my second answer (customer service) may be a common answer. I does play a major roll in my topic. The most important thing for the shelter is the public, with out the people the shelter would be nothing, who would adopt the animals? Animal shelters are already seen as negative in the first place, so if the customer service is bad it would just make the shelters reputation worse. Like I said before without the people animals won't get adopted.

2. How will what I learned affect my final lesson? 
    What I learn would affect my final lesson by opening my audience eye that not all employees at the shelter are grumpy and rude like some. I'm helping my audience by explaining to they that they do not need to be afraid of coming because of those people. Talk to the people that truly do care about the animals, trust me they will help you and give you more information and background.
