Ouch!!!

       It was during the summer mentorship when I experience, that a bunny bit me. It all started good, my mom drop me off, I went inside all confident, that nothing will happen. Like always I would have to sign in, and then go to the back , to start cleaning. So I started to clean the cages, which are nasty but the bunnies are so cute. After I was done cleaning the cages, I change the water, because everyday at least once a day the water needs to be clean out. Since it was a Tuesday, normally the store is close but they have it open because customer's sometimes come, but that day I had to leave early because we had finish everything, and they ask me," what time is your mom picking you up because we have to leave cause there is a meeting." I said." she's on her way." So Joanne asked me if I wanted to carry a bunny, I was like why not, what could go wrong. I went to the back to chose out a bunny. I choice a bunny that looked so nice his name is Montey, he is 8 years old. Joanne showed me how to carry him, so when I got him, I felt it coming, Montey didn't like me, well that's what I think. I was walking to the back, I felt him chewing on my name tag, in my mind I was like please don't bite me. NO, NO, NO! I took him away from my chest. AND right away when I took him away from me, he BITE me. At that moment  I didn't know what to do, first thing that's came up in mind, I want to drop the bunny, cause I cared more about my cut, but I didn't because its a bunny, they have feeling, plus the place is a No Kill Rescue. The cut hurt like a paper cut. So I was bleeding to death, just kidding.

Blog 4: Interview Preparation

Content:

1.  Who do you plan to interview?  Why?
I plan on interviewing Joanne one of my mentors, she works at Bunny Burrow, where I do my mentorship hours. Well I want to interview her because I think she will have good answers for me, that will help me out, in my senior project and career too and also because she has experience in her job. Also I have made observations on how she treats the animals and what to do, if something is wrong, and I feel comfortable around her.

2.  You have to ask 5 questions.  What additional questions do you plan to ask?  Ask open-ended questions. 
Some open-ended questions, that I plan to ask are:
  • What part do you work in , like adoption, education, manager??
  • What is the hardest part of your job?
  • What is the most important part of your job you enjoy doing?
  • How long have you been working in Bunny Burrow?
  • How did you get interested in helping bunnies?
  • What schooling did you take?

Blog 3: Topic Choice and Semester 1 ESLR Goals

Content (Directions): Answer the following 2 questions.

1. I am not exactly sure what my topic name is,but its about helping animals but it would be called No kill Rescue Shelter.

2. iPoly Citizen
           In order to show growth in Ipoly citizen, I will show perfect attendance, although it wont be a problem with me because I always go to school, I hate missing a day of school because I lose a lesson that will affect my grade, I don't wan that to happen. I will show complete work for any courses and projects. I will respect all people because what I have learn in Iploy we are a big family.  Also help others if needed like questions on project homework.
Effective Learner
            I have always been bad on taking tests and quizzes and I want to improve this, by having time and studying for them. By reviewing everything and remembering it will help me a lot because I will improve on my learning skills. Also in every core I will take better notes and will ask for my friends notes to get a better understanding or if I miss anything important for that lesson. This year I will learn many things on my senior topic by myself and this will help me in the future because I will have learned and will be prepare for college.
Effective User of Technology
            In senior year, I will show growth in technology even more. As of right now, I am already showing and learning growth, for example the blog I had no idea how to do it, by the teachers showing us it help me a lot. As the days will pass I will incorporate technology into my learning because without technology I wouldn't have my information for my project. Also to be show even more growth I would not only ask the teachers but also my friends or classmates for help.
Effective Communicator
            As a communicator, this year I will participate in every course because I am very shy when it comes to presenting, or even participating in classes but I know that I shouldn't cause it affects my grade but I am so shy in front of everyone just staring at me. I want to show growth this year  on  talking loud and clear in order for my classmates to hear me. I plan on joining clubs or committees to get over my fear or my shyness when it comes to presenting. If I get lost in anything like my courses or my project, I will ask questions, I don't want to be shy on that too. Another example would be the model assembly or senior project presentation, by the end of the year I be known or people to notice that I am no longer the shy girl in the class.

  • What kind of shots do they get?
  • How often do they get treats?
  • Over feeding them with veggies do they get sick?
  • What are some other problems  that the animals have?
Interpretive

4.The most important thing that I gained from this experience is that there is adoptions for bunnies, chinchillas and guinea pigs and how there looking for a home with lots of care and love. Also that some of these animals are banded or even abused and they care of them until recovered and then the animals would wait for an adoptions. This is very important because out there in the world are other animals like dogs and cats waiting to be adopted, and I didn't think there was a problem with bunnies, chinchillas and guinea pigs, so I learned something new.

Applied

5. I wanted to help out with dogs but I was having problems looking for a place, until I ask Ortega for help. She send me some places and there I saw a link called Bunny Bunch so I was like I didn't know that the bunnies needed help too. So I decided to checked it out and gave a shot and I liked it. I wanted my topic to be about animals because I loved animals and I want to help them out. I want to be a vet because your helping other living beings. I wanted to be with dogs but I had to be 18 years old but I'm not so I try out the bunny burrow because I knew there were animals and I just want to help other different creatures out. I like to compare it us the human because everyone has feelings and so do animals and everyone needs help so why not help out the bunnies too or any animals out there. So it was good information so far because I learned something new.
