Blog 8 - Research and Working EQ

Research
1.   What is your working EQ?
  • How do leaders/officials use their power to benefit the underprivileged youth in Pomona?

2.   What is a possible answer to your working EQ? 
  • The city provided countless programs that aid youth and students to stay out of trouble and become involved with community service.
  • The city has created what they call a "Master Plan". The Master Plan is a strategic idea implemented once a child is born and raised in Pomona. The plan lasts all throughout elementary, intermediate and high school up until a student receives their AA degree in college. This plan is to make sure a student doesn't fall through the cracks and isn't "left behind".

3.   What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ?
  • A lot of it is personal experience. I have been able to go through the Pomona system and learning about the programs they offer for the youth as well as talking/working with city council members/employees that help create the ideas and approval for such benefiting programs for youth.

4.  Who is your mentor, or where are you doing mentorship, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?
  • At the moment my mentor is Alejandra and she is in charge of La Casita Teen Center at Palomares Park in Pomona. This relates to my EQ because I am getting a taste of how Pomona offers after school programs for youth who do not have the means to go anywhere else after after school.
