(1) What ideas do you have for your senior project and why?
(A) Body language reading. Sounds awesome and no has done it.

- It would be best if you start looking for people who could connect you with a school where you could learn some yourself. I'm sure that count as service learning hours.

(2) What do you plan to do to complete the 10 hours of service learning 
(A) I honestly have no idea.

- Well like I was telling you, maybe enrolling yourself in a class. Looking for connections as of now for you won't have much trouble when your senior year begins.

(3) What do you hope to see or expect to see when watching the class of 2012 present their two hour presentations?
(A) I haven't really thought about it. Music, medical jobs etc.

-Make sure to show respect when you are watching presentations. Don't be late, that will distract the presenter and cause them to get nervous.

(4) What questions do they have about senior project?  What additional recommendations would you give the 2013 student about senior project?  Be specific and note what you told them.
(A) He had no questions.

- He didn't really show much interest to the interview. Didn't have ant questions therefore showing he didn't really care.

Independent Component 2

Literal
(A)"I Gabriela Garcia, affirm that I completed my independent which represents 30 hours of work."

(B)What I completed was a intense research on three sunscreen/moisturizers to see what active ingredients are found on all three. I wanted to see what exactly those ingredients do to the skin and how they work. I tested each product for two weeks so in total 6 weeks of testing.

Interpretive
This independent component helped my senior project because I learned what ingredients to look for when buying a sunscreen/moisturizer; which I had ten asked before but, did not have an answer.
I reached 30 hours by first, gathering information on my own to see what sunscreens/moisturizers are most common amount today's teenagers. After finding out the top three products, I researched every active ingredient on all three products. I found two ingredients in which they all had a percentage of. I created a video explaining my research, which took longer then intended since I kept messing up. I edit the video and turned it in via YouTube.

Applied
This independent component helped me answer my EQ because I tied it up with teens directly. I made sure the products are popular amount them. I have been asked in my 20 minute presentation what ingredients to look for in moisturizers and I did not know the answer. Now after all this research I could help them improve their skin by advising them on what ingredients to avoid and look for.

Answer #3

Q:EQ?
A: What is the best way to take care of teen skin?

Q: Answer 3/Facts
A: Changing your pillow cases and yes sheets once a month reduces the amount of bacteria on your face therefore having cleaner pores. Pillow cases and sheets save up all the dead skin and bacteria from your face. Since the pores open up at night, they become clogged with bacteria causing acne.

Room Creativity

Q:(1) How do you plan to address the room creativity expectation?
A: I plan on reaching the room creativity expectation by having a varity of visuals. I plan on having bottles of the most popular acne medications on every table which, will tie in with one of my activities.
I also plan on posters showing the different types of skin and acne.


Q:(2) What activity ideas do you have for answer 1 or 2?
A: My second answer is making sure teens know what is inside the product being used. So on each table they will have a mini description on the products, they will match them up with the different skin types and acne which I would provide.

The Product

My product so far is knowledge on how to take care of my own skin. Before I started my senior project I had way more imperfections on my skin then what I have now. I gained the most knowledge where i did my service learning, Bella Fusion skin and body studio in Diamond Bar. I worked with more then one esthetician at the spa. I world with Julia Woods the most, she would let me be in the room when she was performing facials on patients. She also performed a facial on me in which I asked plenty of questions in the process.


Blog 15 Independent Componet

Literal
(a) "I, Gabriela Garcia, affirm that I completed my independent componet which represents 30 hours of work."
(b) I performed 11 facials on a variety of people, to test if the facial shows the results it claims to do. I tested each facial on me before i performed them on the patient. I also tested the facial on the patients arm, to see if they had some allergic reaction to any of  the ingredients.

Interpretive 
My independent component reached 30 hours easier then I thought it was going to be. First, I had to research what facials I could make at home. I wanted to perform at least 15 facials but didn't end up finding that many. I will go out and buy each ingrident needed for the facial. I would mix all the ingridents and perform the facial on me first. After I would test the facials on me, I performed it on the patient. In total i performed 11 facials.

Applied 
My independent component helped me answer my essential question by having the knowledge on how to help certain skin problems teens have. My eq is what is the best way to take care of teen skin? So depending on the teens skin I would be able to tell them a facial that could help the apperance of their skin.
