Independent Component 1

This is Jesus Sanchez, You may not be able to see it but that's the match we made in the folder

Literal

• I, Jonathan Alvarado, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 31.5 hours of work
• My sources are:
• Carlos D. Carrillo, Educational Program Director, Uncommon Good.
• Nancy Dufford, Educational Program Director, Uncommon Good.
• Jesus Sanchez, Educational Program Director, Uncommon Good.
• Updated
• I completed, a match, or in Uncommon Good terms a Mentor and Mentee match. At first I did not know what to do that would make me learn a bit more about Youth Mentor-ship Programs, until last month I decided that I would ask if I was able to match a Mentor and Mentee. Carlos D. Carrillo approved and as did Nancy Dufford. Both of who have already matched hundreds of students.

Interpretive

• My work that I have demonstrated here is what I would like to call, a really great experience. At first I was planning to help 8th graders learn about how to choose classes in high school, but because of my availability I was not able to do so. Click Here for the cards that I made. But this all did not work out, I was able to talk to my mentors and tell them what I can do, they offered to give me a chance at pairing a Mentor and Men-tee. With a couple days of planning me and Jesus, Click Here to see us discussing about our plans, Nancy took the picture, had decided for me to interview a college student coming from the Claremont Colleges. I wasnt able to take a picture of him, but I was able to take a picture of the picture that capture both the men-tee and the mentor. (As you can see above) Both me and Jesus managed to pair 'Josh' with Alejandro, me and Carlos however made the interview happen. I was not able to take as many pictures as I'd thought I would. For my next IC I plan to hopefully record or take pictures more frequently, or have the items that I have done in more of a log-like blog.

Applied

• This component really helped me see how things are done for Youth Mentorship Programs I also see how well and how not so well things can work out. There are a lot of Mentors who do not see how important mentoring can be. In one of my recent Interviews with Nancy Dufford, she tells me how much she would really love to match these students, but most mentors just somehow disappear off of the face of this earth. (Meaning most dont tell her where they're at)
