I haven't had any real breakthroughs in my project this month. I chose to stop going to my current mentor ship at the La Casita Teen Center because it was more of a day-care than actually relating to my topic. At the moment I am trying to still get in contact with Andrea Rico. Andrea Rico is the Coordinator for Pomona's Youth & Family Master Plan (YFMP). Pomona's YFMP is basically my senior project and holds the answers to my senior project. It goes into depth about Pomona's issues of gang violence, to dropping out of school, to early drug use, and so on. It then goes on about how the community and several programs/organizations can help decrease these issues. It even contains a questionnaire given to high school students in 2010 about their community.
I sent Andrea Rico an email about a month ago. I have called her office twice but she has either not been in the office is unavailable. I left her a message today and if she does not respond back I will attend a Community Meeting specifically about the YFMP. Ms.Rico leads these meetings and I hope to be able to get into contact with her and be able have her as my mentor.
In the month of November, I hope to start my independent component. I believe that I am going to make a documentary/short movie regarding questions about the questions I have about one's individual drive/persistence/motivation; if it has any impact on one's success. I have started writing questions and I hope it turns out well.
If all goes well with securing Andrea Rico as my mentor, then I will feel more confident in my project.
