(d) For my independent component 2 and wanted to complete more hours at House of Ruth with my mentor Marina Wood. I did the everything basic work that I usually do when I volunteer there like make copies of packets about domestic violence,  healthy relationships, make and fold flyer, etc... I didn't do any major projects at House of Ruth because in the beginning of each year she Marina is always busy with training new volunteers and going to different events all over Inland valley, Los Angeles and San Berdarino. But i did receive an award for my time volunteering there. I also worked with Project Sister Services which does along with my topic because that organization focuses on victims of all gender and ages who had been sexually assaulted or abused. Which falls in line with Domestic violence its just that House of Ruth has been working with sexual, emotionally, verbally and  abused victims. I was part of their Denim Day committee  2014 where me and a group of teen work together to help plan an event on 4/24/2014. Where any person can go can receive information on different organization and also have fun with the different activities we can up with.

 This component help me come up with my best answer which was create a curriculum for students in 7-12 grades. Working with different teens and also talking to some made me realize that a lot of them don't really know about domestic violence and how can you tell if they are in a abusive situation. Also working with my mentors in general helped me come up with my answers and make them better. For example my first answer was help victim with safe escape during the legal process and my mentor gave me a a lot of techniques that they used on the victims at house of Ruth to help them have a safe escape. Also Marina gave me a safety plan template than they help the victim  create. My experience at Project sister help me with answering my EQ by helping me realize that getting the word out in the community is the best way for victims to step forward and receive the help they need for safe escape. The whole denim day event is too inform the community that their is help out their for victims of domestic violence.

Independent Component 2 Approval

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours. 
     -I am planning to do more mentor ship work with Marina Wood because it really helped me understand           my EQ way better and also I love what I am doing now. Maybe to take to the next level, I could go          
help my mentor at her actual events instead of helping her prepare for it.

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence. 
      - I will continue to log in my Hours in my spreadsheet i provided on the right hand side and                              take pictures for evidence. I will be at House of Ruth every Thursdays or whatever days I am free.

3.  And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth. 
      - I will be at House of Ruth more often and not just that I will be trying my best to attend                                  events and ask my mentor Marina Wood to give me any books or classes I could attend. My Mentor          
is already a awesome teacher and I am sure if I have question/ concerns she will do her best to answer        
them.
4.  Post a log on the right hand side of your blog near your other logs and call it the independent component 2 log.

Independent Component 1

 

( Just some of the work I did for my 30 hours work which included, sorting beanie babies which were donated to house of Ruth, and these past couple of months my mentor was busy therefore she usually leaves work for me to do.). The work she leaves me to do is usually makes a lot of copies and manuals for new volunteers. It helps me understand my topic even more because a lot of the things she makes me do is about DV and I would always read new things that i didn't know before or I could have more ideas of what i could do for my future presentations. I would also talk to Marina about my ideas so I would know if i am in the right direction so i don't have any inaccurate data/info.

  Defend your work and explain how the significant parts of your component and how it demonstrates 30 hours of work.   Provide evidence (photos, transcript, art work, videos, etc) of the 30 hours of work.    
• Mostly for my mentor ship for my 30 hours of work I did basic office work such as copy alot of packets, stick paper to candy, help her with manuals, and etc. Also Other than that I help her get prepared for her events such as helping her fill her bags with things she needs in order to go to the events

• APPLIED
  How did the component help you understand the foundation of your topic better?  Please include specific examples to illustrate how it helped.  
• Without component 1, I would not have a deeper understanding of my topic and my foundation. I went into my topic with knowing only the bare basic of domestic violence. When starting off with independent component 1 my mentor started to give me books and videos to watch then after i was done she would make my write a report or we will talk about what happened and how it all ties into domestic violence. this helped me understand ,my topic better because not only did i want to learn more but it taught me a lot of data and statistics that i haven't known before. Also Marina was very helpful because she answered any questions I had and helped me with any concern or questions i had to the best of her abilities. The events that i attended also helped ,me understand my foundation even better all of the events had information and victims stories was inspirational and informative. Lastly all the office work and little things that I did at house of Ruth was very informative and in the end helped me understand my foundation. For example, Marina is always telling me to print out packets for her, and i would sit in the copy room and take read the packets some of the packets were about teen dating violence, domestic violence 101 and etc.... In the end i would tell Marina if i could keep them to help me with my foundation.
