Blog 13: 10 Hour Mentorship Check-In

1.   Where are you doing your mentorship?
I am mentoring with the forensic unit at the Pomona police station.


2.   Who is your contact?  What makes this person an expert?
My mentor is Tony Nyguen, he is a 17 year long CSI.


3.   How many  hours have you done during the school year? (Summer Mentorship Hours and Mentorship Hours should be reflected separately in your Senior Project Hours log located on the right hand side of your blog).
I currently have 60 hours from mentorship (this includes my summer hours).

4.   Succinctly summarize what you did, how well you and your mentor worked together, and how you plan to complete the remaining hours.
So far I have managed to learn how to analyse fingerprints as well as locate and preserve them. I have also learned how to search and process evidence and a crime scene. Me and my mentor get along quite well. I plan to finish my hours at the same station learning about bloood spatter and DNA anaylysis. 



*You need 50 hours plus the original 10 in the summer by May.   The original 10 from the summer do not count toward the 50.  By the end of the year, you will have 60 hours counting that original 10.

3. List three questions for further exploration now that you've completed your summer hours.    

)What Is the most effective way to sell a product to someone?

)How does marketing play an effective role in raising your sales?

)How to run and maintain a successful business?  

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

The most important thing I have personally gained from this summer mentorship is to always be aggressive. Without having a drive to succeed and a lack of aggression, you will never be able to accomplish your goals.

5. What is your senior project topic going to be?  How did mentorship help you make your decision?  Please explain.

I do not believe, I will be sticking with this mentorship. However if I were to continue a mentorship in sales and marketing; my senior project topic would be on what makes a successful business man. During the course of my summer mentorship I had learned what it takes to sell a product, along with learning how structure is key to keeping a business on track and running like clockwork. While this mentorship has been enlightening and enjoyable, I do not see myself pursuing my senior topic in sales and marketing.
