Content:

1.   Where are you doing your mentorship?

I go and observe the working policies in place at Kaiser Permanente . I meet up with my mentor and talk about ways to improve the quality of work given to the patent. I also overseer that we get in the yearbook deadlines on time as well as establish what is going to be covered 
2.   Who is your contact?

Mimi Orth as well as Joan Pleta.
3.   How many total hours have you done (total hours should be reflected in your mentorship log located on the right hand side of your blog like your WB)?   I have done about 40 hours so far.
4.   Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.

Well on one occasion I helped out in the execution of the flu clinic at Kaiser. I helped make sure everyone knew their stations and had the equipment they needed to perform their job. For yearbook it is an ongoing progress of making the final decisions on stuff like what color the cover is or   what we are actually covering.
5.   Email your house teacher the name of your contact and their phone number confirming who they should call to verify it.

3. Questions
  
    How do I transfer the information I learned to my role as Eic to my school?
    What is the best way to deal with conflict between the staff?
    What is the best way to deal with the editors?
    How do I balance the "fun" time and productivity in yearbook?
    How do I best keep the workflow in yearbook? 

Interpretive:

 1. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?

       The most important thing I learned was the importance of keeping staff moral because if I do my job right and keep them wanting to come to yearbook, they will be more willing to do the work. It help put my position into perspective because I cannot make a good book without the staff. I realized being at camp with all the other schools that the best books like walnut have staffs that are willing to put in the time and effort because they truly enjoy the environment that the yearbook room brings. 

Applied:

1. How did what you did help you choose a topic?  Please explain. 

   I knew I was going to do yearbook but I am going to do yearbook as an organization. While at camp they stressed the importance of treating yearbook as more than a class and more like a business. So as my topic I chose to do the Business of yearbook. This will be something that incorporates all aspects of yearbook; financial, product and staff. This class help me understand the true essence of what you need to be  good yearbook Eic and how that leadership translates to a good yearbook and experience.
