January Blog
Unfortunately, I have not been able to further my mentorship for my senior project this month. I have been researching information and practicing for the thirty-minute presentation almost the entire month. I will be doubling my efforts to find something I can do for my mentorship next month.

1. Positive Statement
What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?
I am most proud of the powerpoint I had created. I rarely feel like I can make a good presentation and I believe I had achieved that.
2. Questions to Consider
a. What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?
P
b. Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.
I believe I deserve a P for the component because I had reached all of the P-level requirements and I made time on each segment.
3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
Creating the powerpoint made practicing the lesson much easier than I had expected. I'm used to writing out a basic outline of a presentation on a piece of paper and practicing from there.
4. (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
There are two things I would change. First, I would try to talk much slower and clearer. I would also remember to site the source that I had gained the dehdration data from.
5. Finding Value
What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?
I want my answer #2 to have something to do with actual medical care on a marathon runner, but I am not too sure how to word it yet.

1. Where are you doing your mentorship?
I am doing my mentorship with my dad at the EMT classes that he teaches and I will be working at a few marathons in March in several different places.
2. Who is your contact?
My dad, Robert Ethridge, whom is a Medical Unit Leader and EMT/EMR instructor for the Forest Service, is my mentor.
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 only done ten hours at this point. My mentor is in between classes at the moment and there are currently no marathons that I am available to work at this season. Starting in February, I will be assisting my mentor in his classes every Saturday and I will begin working at marathons in March.
4. Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.
The ten hours I have completed consist of me taking a First Aid/CPR class, taught by my mentor, and assisting him in some medical skills practices for his students.

1. It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school. What did you do over the break with your senior project?
Due to the fact that the break was during winter, there have been no marathons that I have been allowed to work at and my mentor is in-between classes, so I have not been able to assist him in teaching a class. In order to continue my senior project work, I have been rereading the EMT and EMR textbooks that were given to me by my mentor. This has prevented me from forgetting some of the important details that I have learned throughout my mentorship. Also, due to some minor user-error, I needed to resupply and rearrange my medical equipment.
2. What was the most important thing you learned from what you did and why? What was the source of what you learned?
The most important thing that I learned for my senior project over the break is that in order to be able to learn medical techniques and procedures, you can't just put everything down and pick it up a few days later. The EMT and EMR fields require continuous attention in order for the knowledge to be retained effectively. The source of this would be the large amount of textbooks and articles that I have read over the break.
3. If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers of your EQ, who would you talk to and why?
Since I switched my senior topic to being strictly about marathons, I would ask the coordinator of the Run 4 Kids marathons in my area. She has been running marathons like these for several years and her insight would be of great help.
