-Elva C. Gomez (music teacher) at Sierra Vista High School, Baldwin Park CA.
Interpretive:
-The most important thing I gained from this experience was patience for students. At Cal Poly, every student was expected to return to class knowing more than they knew last time. They were expected to practice and progress on their own time, and they did.
Whereas at Sierra Vista High School, most students share equipment so it's harder for them to really learn anything the first time they play it. For them class was practice time and 'Ask Questions' time. Something else to consider was some students learn at different paces. I had to be able to help someone who was falling behind, needed sheet music or was really out of tune. You can't really expect them to be at any level, but instead expect them to try.
Applied:
-What I've done has helped me answer my EQ by providing a hands on experience and justification to them. For instance, all students had different needs and paces. My EQ answers cater to that. My second answer 'To implement music technology' provides up to date music knowledge and a variety of music technology topics for students who show interest in it. Also, my mentor Ms. Gomez always left her room open for students who needed after school practice or even homework help. Which justifies my first and third answers; to make the education of music easily accessible and to provide educational support.

Summer Mentorship Component
1. Mentorship Log
2. What is the name and contact number of where you volunteered at?
The name is Violence Prevention Women's Resource Center. It is at Cal Poly Pomona and the number is (909)869-3112.
3.What questioned were raised because of the 10 hours of experienced?
The first significant question was Do I Want To Do This For My Senior Project? Constantly being around domestic violence survivors and having to deal not just with the emotional trauma but the legality of it all is stressful and it takes a certain type of person to be strong in a setting like that. I questioned if I was the right person for it all and if this was something I could handle for my senior project.
4. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience and why?
I think most people expect to find their experiences to be magical but really I think what this did for me was show me that even though I am interested in social justice and bringing awareness to the community, it just isn't my cup of tea. When it really comes down to it, you tend to become what you surround yourself with and I am searching for something else. This was not my drive, I could not feel it as strongly as I know I could have.
5. What is your senior project going to be? Explain.
After doing most of my hours with VPWRC I have come to realize that I would be comfortable with doing it for my senior project because it is a topic of interest but I would not call it a passion. I have contacted Cal Poly's music department and the women in charge of Music Education, Dr. Janine Riveire replied by saying she could not formally talk to me about it until August 23rd since she (along with the rest of the music department) was on leave.
