Helping 2013


Emani Lloyd 
  • For her Senior project, she was thinking about doing it on Alcoholism. She chose to do it on alcoholism because her father is a recovering alcoholic for 21 years. She also wanted to learn and educated others on the harm drinking while pregnant can have on the unborn child , and if the child makes it full term the affects it can have on the child's learning capability.
  • I thought it was a good idea. I think she should choose between general alcoholism and the effects of it on unborn children. 
  • She is planing to visit and volunteer at facilities with children who were affect by their parents alcoholism. Attend AA meetings and interview recovering alcoholics that are available. Also families that were affected by drunk drivers.
  • She should look up other organizations, because I don't know any places that will accept high schoolers to be involved with sorts of cases.
  • She hopes to see a variety of different projects, and there will be some on nursing since she is thinking about doing that in future. She also expects that the projects will be entertaining and educational. 
  • To be respectful to the presenter since most of us will be nervous. Also if they are bored to at least pretend to be interested.
  • She was wondering if she got a speaker to come and speak could that count as her activity? She also wanted to know was if we had to talk the whole two hours.
  • I said that her activity has to do with one of her answers. I also explained all the talking requirements.

Independent Component 2

Literal
(a) Statement saying: “I, Jessica Castro, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.” 
(b) For the last 30 hours of my independent component everything I learned from the first component was put to the test. I never put makeup on someone so this was very challenging. I had to search for models and create makeup looks. 
Interpretive
This was extremely important because I had to go through every step that a makeup artist does. I had to set up my makeup kit, keep an eye on time, and proficiently apply makeup. 
Applied
It helped my EQ because I was experiencing every aspect of a makeup artist. I went through my final photoshoot and am now a certified makeup artist.
