1. List the contact name, phone number, and organization of the person with whom you volunteered.
Jennifer Gump, (626) 203 - 9414, The South Hills Church of
Christ.
2. What qualified this person as an expert in your topic
choice?
I considered changing my topic to have something to do with
working with children. Mrs. Gump was the organizer for a VBS event taking place
at the South Hills Church of Christ. Mrs. Gump has worked with the children in
at the church for about 17 years and has always been involved with planning and
carrying out events for the children.
3. List three questions for further exploration now that
you've completed your summer hours.
- How can literature be revised to be more understandable for a certain age group?
- How do you keep children entertained in today's society when they are so use to having technology to entertain them?
- How do you plan an event to teach and entertain children at the same time?
4. What is the most important thing you gained from this
experience? Why?
I learned about planning an event and making sure that the
children understood what they were learning and how to revise material to help
it be more accessible to the children so that the information did not go over
their heads. I also learned planning such an event can be very stressful if
people are constantly panicking about everything being done on time and it can
drive people crazy.
5. What is your senior project topic going to be? How did mentorship help you make your
decision? Please explain.
I am still not quite sure what I want my project to be at
this moment in time. I am still considering doing something with children like
working with the church. However I am still also considering doing my project
on police work, in fact I am leaning more towards police work because I have
more resources when it comes to this topic in particular. I have ruled out the
possible topic for the military because I feel that I would not have as many
resources as I would for the police work topic.
