Blog #7: Independent Component Approval

Write a description of what you plan on doing for your independent study component.

As of right now I am still thinking of a solid plan for my independent component. So far, since I've been doing my mentorship at a childrens daycare, I would like to get more into the hospital setting and do mentorship at a well known hospital . I have two places in mind where i could be able to get invovled, City of Hope in Duarte and The Mattel children's hopsital in Los Angeles. At these places I would be able to do things such as work at events involving the sick patients, and being able to be there side to side by them.


Describe in detail how you think your plan will meet the 30 hours work requirement.

I know for a fact that if i do go along with my plan, I will meet the required 30 hours easily. For me it is a really great thing that hopsitals have strict requirments about the minimum of hours I must work there. I will be able to voulunteer either once or twice a week and do at least 3-4 hours each time.

How does your independent study component relate to your working EQ?

My independent study will help me alot by relating to my working EQ in many ways. For one I would get the real experience of being in the hospital setting. Also, I will be able to not only get the feel of working with children, but I would get hands on experience with working with actual hospitalized children who are ill.
