Blog 13: 10 Hour Mentorship Check-In

1.   Where are you doing your mentorship?
      I am doing my mentorship at the Baldwin Park animal shelter. 
2.   Who is your contact?  What makes this person an expert?
       My contact is Jiame Ramos. He is an expert because he has been working at the shelter for years and the years before that he worked with animals as well.
3.   How many hours have you done during the school year? 
      I have done 49 hours.
4.   Succinctly summarize what you did, how well you and your mentor worked together, and how you plan to complete the remaining hours
      I usually help with dogs at the shelter since they do make up the majority of the shelter. Me and my mentor work pretty well but he can be a bit socially awkward. I plan on finishing my hours there at the shelter or maybe another shelter. 
         

Blog 2 - Summer Mentorship

 During the summer I did my mentorship at the gym with my personal trainer. This was a picture of the first day I went to do my mentorship.I would also work out with my mentor at home, when we didn't work out at the gym.


I actually thought about doing my mentorship on health and fitness.

1. List the contact name, phone number, and organization of the person with whom you volunteered.

     The name of my mentor and personal trainer is Christian Velez. His phone number is (626) 549-8412. My mentor is a personal trainer at Spartan Fitness.

2. What qualified this person as an expert in your topic choice?  

     My mentor helps me understand the diet that in need to maintain my healthy life. He also teaches me Intense works out that also help me maintain my healthy life style.

3. List three questions for further exploration now that you've completed your summer hours.

     Question 1: Is it necessary to eat or drinking protein after a work out?

     Question 2: What should one eat before and after one works out? And what exactly should they eat?

      Question 3: When will you start seeing results of the training that you have done?

        

4. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?

     Well I actually learned that maintaining a healthy life style can sometimes be quite difficult at times because not all people have money or time to work out at the gym; not everyone has money to buy all the healthy and fresh produce to consume. The reason I thought of switching to this topic was because it seemed interesting to learn about health.

5. What is your senior project topic going to be?  How did mentorship help you make your decision?  Please explain

   I thinking I am just going to stick with dog training or dog behavior. My mentorship help me narrow my decision because I was actually interested in health and fitness during the summer. But I definitely learned that this topic isn't for me because it requires so much time, dedication, and motivation to maintain a healthy life style. I rather use my time and dedication to a cause that helps others.
