Independent Study Component 2

1. Log: During the month of February and a bit of March Monday -Wednesday, sometimes Thursday, for about 2-3 hours.

2. Evidence: Mandatory Volunteer T-Shirt and Leash


3a. I, Sarah Sartori, affirm that i completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.

3b. I completed 30 more hours at my  service learning at the Baldwin Park Animal Shelter.  I helped with adoptions, taking care of the animals, bringing in animals brought by the animal control officers and helping with their pictures, weigh in, shots, paperwork, etc. 

4. I completed 30 hours of worked because I signed in, assisted the animal control officers and care attendants, and signed out. During the month of February i had already completed over 30 hours according to my log sheet in the managers office.

5. Volunteering at an animal shelter is actually one of my answers to my essential question. So my service learning as well as this component are an example of that.

Independent Component 2 Update

1. What are you doing to fulfill the 30 hour requirement for this component?
     I am volunteering 30 hours at my service learning center.
2. What are you currently working on? How many hours have you completed?
     I have already completed my hours at the shelter by being a dog/cat care taker as well as shelter host.
3. So far, how is it helping you with your essential question?
     My service learning plus these extra hours help back up one of my answers to my EQ: "join/form and organization/ volunteer at a local animal care center (animal shelter/rescue).

Independent Study 2

1. Discuss possible ideas you have to complete this requirement?
     I plan on doing another 30 hours at the animal care center.
2. How will this help answer your EQ?
     At the animal care center I have hands on experience with animals and am ale to work with animal care attendants and officer who know quite a lot about animal cruelty. One of my answers to my EQ is "join or form an organization or volunteer at an animal rescue or shelter to help educate people and care for animals," so this just makes me more positive and prepared for my EQ.
