Kim Vollers, San Antonio community hospital; 9099852811
Janice Chow American Cancer Society; 6265646078
Interpretive: The most important thing I experienced was the willingness people had to help others. The nurses and workers at the American Cancer Society wanted to help people. They weren't there because it was their job the genuinely wanted to help people, and that is why it was their job. They truly appreciate every moment of it.
Applied: Working with the american cancer society in person and as well as over the phone and email in unlisted hours, showed me the help they have to offer. It really helped me in choosing to say that families need to use the resources provided by and stay in contact with the American Cancer Society as my best answer. Not only that seeing the materials provided by the American cancer society at the hospital and seeing their involvement in their events helped me a great deal as well.
Though being at the hospital and receiving a chance to talk to the nurses and hear their feedback was a wonderful opportunity I am glad I did not miss out on. My second answer, empowering families with knowledge stems from what both my mentor Livia Vargas said in interview number two and what Jamie Anderson said in interview 3.

Exit interview questions
1) What is your essential question? What is the best answer to your question and why?
How can a family best cope with a breast cancer diagnosis? My best answer is to stay in contact with and use the resources provided by the American Cancer Society. It is very easy to tell people to go get help, however help isn't always easy to find. The American Cancer Society helps you help yourself. This non-profit organization has many different programs such as the Reach to Recovery program where women with breast cancer are paired with other women who have the same diagnosis and treatment as them to meet and show they are not alone. The american cancer society also provides a 24 hour hotline, constant updated research and countless events for survivors and their families throughout the year.
(2) What process did you take to arrive at this answer?
I volunteered at multiple places throughout my mentorship, and every where I went the American Cancer Society was a part of that. Their pamphlets, speakers, and influence is greatly seen. At the hospital I volunteer at pamphlets provided by the American Cancer Society are given to the patients so that they can help themselves figure out what to do next. I used cancer.org constantly throughout my research as well
(3) What problems did you face? How did you resolve them?
When I first began volunteering at San Antonio Community hospital I wasn't allowed to do much and I realized that it wasn't going to good enough for the year. I couldn't exactly learn much from filling up water glasses and wheeling out patients. That's when I decided to volunteer at the American Cancer Society. Unfortunately the closest offices is in Pasadena and I live in Pomona. But I made the commitment to drive out there despite having transportation difficulties. My car broke down 2 times driving home late at night on the 210 fwy and eventually on my way to mentorship caught on fire. Once that happened my parents bought me a new car and I no longer had transportation problems.
(4) What are the two most significant sources you used to answer your essential question and why?
The American Cancer Society's website really helped me learn cancer facts, and learn about the different programs that the organization provided. Multiple links such as the PDF's placed out every year and the "Find Support, and Treatment" link really helped provide me with great information.
(5) What is your product and why?
Throughout the course of the mentorship I have become a very active member of many volunteer activities. I participate in CPS3 and the legislative ambassador program. I have really enjoyed helping out these people and plan on participating in these programs for many years to come.

Blog 23
1. Rhaven Innis South House.
2. I actually have two ideas for my senior project. I want to either do experimental psychology or graphic design. I'm choosing experimental psychology because I absolutely am infatuated with anything that has to do your brain and why you do the things you do. It's always been something that I've been completely interested in. I'm choosing graphic design as my fallback option. I love design aesthetics and I think that it's only right for anything to be aesthetically pleasing to the audience.
3. I plan on mentoring at some institution where I can observe children as apart of developmental psychology. I was also thinking of mentoring somewhere where I can work with psychology majors who do experiments on adults. I think it would be cool to take those same experiments and try them on children to see the different results. For graphic design mentorship, I would like to go somewhere like a university of some sort where graphic design is a major study.
4. When watching the senior presentations I hope to gain presentation skills. I don't want to be boring because I heard that these topics that I chose tend to be boring which is always bad. I love these topics and I think they're interesting and I would want my audience to be intrigued as well.
5. How was senior year overall? Wrap it up in one word. I'm considering whether coming back or not because the things that teachers tell us and the things that I hear are pretty persuasive. I don't know if I can handle the stress to tell you the truth. Also what was the hardest part of completing your senior project? What are some valuable tips to "surviving" dreaded senior year?
The hardest part is sticking with it. Towards the end it kinda feels like you just can't do it anymore. But u really am proud of my project and my topic. Don't fall behind on your mentorship! I didn't but I know some people who did and it's gonna suck in the end if you don't keep up with it. It really is worth it to keep going.

Independent Componet 2
Literal:
A) I, Kendall Delgado, affirm that I completed 10 hours of work towards my 30 for my independent component.
B) The idea for my independent component came from Debbie Motts and Lisa Martinez.
c) I do not have the log of the 30 hours completed due to the fact that some still need to be completed. The hours completed were with Debbie Motts, Lisa Martinez, Carol Stringfella, Liva Vargas, and Pam Hunzeker. I have spoken with all of these women multiple times accumulating my hours trying to set up times and conformations to complete my independent component.
D) I plan on meeting with these women, interviewing them and or their families, and taking pictures of the effects breast cancer has had on their bodies. I plan on placing this all together as a form of book that can be used to share with newly diagnosed women as a coping method.
Interpretative:
Email sent to ogden with names with phone numbers attached.
Applied:
I feel that helping to create a method of coping that families and women can look at I am helping to show that communication and working with the American Cancer Society is very vital. I hope that once I am done these women will appreciate the time and effort I am placing in creating this for them.

Senior Project and ESLRs
- The ESLR that I have demonstrated the most throughout my senior project is the effective communicator.
- Throughout the course of my mentorship I have greatly demonstrated my ability to excel in this ESLR in many ways. I am able to listen and help people who are older than me in many ways. Ways that demonstrate all levels of this ESLR.
- However while I work with them I recognize that it is very important to work on my own. I am never hesitant to take on my own tasks. With the American Cancer Society the first task I was given was for myself alone to be sent to a women's health convention and advocate/set up for them. At the hospital, due to the fact that the nurses are so busy it is my responsibility to go and help on my own. I am given my own tasks/ errands.
