Independent Component 1

Literal:
A) I Kendall Delgado, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
B) I had a total of two mentors for my independent component, Janice Chow from the American Cancer Society office in Pasadena (213-507-7169). And Brenda Godbold  (661-327-7827) at the office in Bakersfield.
C) hours
D) Throughout working in these two offices as a legislative ambassador, my job has been promoting awareness. While being an ambassador is a long process that I am still in the beginnings of, I was able to help promote awareness through the organization of events. Though at times it seemed tedious it really did help me to see how much work goes into these events. The organization mainly consisted of helping out the office secretaries, making copies, going to the bank, wrapping gifts, setting up booths etc.
Interpretive:

These pictures are clips of my email sent to further me into the process of an ambassador. The photo of the booth above is a booth I set up at a women's health convention in Pasadena.

Applied:

Becoming a legislative ambassador has really helped me with my foundation because it places me in the spot of the people who are there to help. The people I work with go into this because they want to help and promote awareness. They could have done anything with their lives but they chose this. Many people I work with are volunteers as well. So it really helped me to see that while people diagnosed with cancer are going through a hardship there are plenty of others there to help them deal with this process. This also has really helped me to see and understand the awareness aspect of cancer, doing everything there is possible to prevent it from occurring.

With my topic being breast cancer and attending the women's health it helped me to look at other aspects of other adult women's lives. Calling people and asking them to become involved really showed me as well how many people are willing to help.

I hope that as I continue the process I will be one of the ambassadors picked to attend a meeting at the capitol and promote cancer awareness bills to our legislators.
