Independent Component 2

(d) Explanation of what you completed.

For my first two hours, I helped my mentor create and edit quizzes that would be given to his EMT students. For the other twenty-eight hours, I had assisted my mentor and his team of EMT's at a Run 4 Kids marathon. Before the event, my job was to make sure that the medical bags were fully stocked up and ready for the day ahead. At the marathon, I was responsible for assisting the EMT Kyle, who works with my mentor in teaching First Aid, in care of patients with minor injuries (ex: cuts, blisters, etc.). I was also responsible for keeping the station organized and comfortable for the patients, checking in on the runners while they were running, and treating the child runners. After the event, I was told to take stock of what was missing/used from the medical bags and perform check ups on the runners.

INTERPRETIVE 
Defend your work and explain how the significant parts of your component and how it demonstrates 30 hours of work. Provide evidence (photos, transcript, art work, videos, etc) of the 30 hours of work.  

These four pictures help to show all aspects of what I do as an EMT assistant at the Run 4 Kids marathons. Not only do I assist in the treatment of patients suffering minor injuries, but I also help give the EMT's everything and provide for the well-being of the patients (as is shown in the fourth picture when my brother and I moved our EZ-Up to give the patient some shade). 

APPLIED
How did the component help you answer your EQ? Please include specific examples to illustrate how it helped. 

This component helped me solidify my third answer because of the different injuries that occured at the event. Several of the participants were trying to hide their injuries in order to continue the run, so my mentor enlisted me to look for signs of ailment amongst the runners. This is what helped me create my third answer.
