Blog 13: 10 Hour Mentorship Check-In

This is the high school I am completing my mentorship at.

1. Where are you doing your mentor ship?
• I am currently completing my mentorship at Nogales High School located in La Puente.
2. Who is your contact? What makes this person an expert?
• I am working with Monica Hidalgo who has taught tenth and twelfth history as well as English. She has received her education from UC Irvine, UC San Diego, and Cal State Long Beach. Not only does she have a masters and bachelors degree in multiple subjects but Ms. Hidalgo also has half of her doctorate in U.S. History from UC Irvine. She has taught at the high school level for eight years, and she has the knowledge and experience I could benefit from.
3. How many hours have you done during the school year?
• I haven't completed any service hours this years because I have done them in the past but I just haven't turned in the community service forms. 
4. Succinctly summarize what you did , how well you and your mentor worked together, and how you plan to complete the remaining hours.  
• I have 24 hours left for the required hours and I plan to complete those hours the same as I have been doing so. In my mentorship I have graded papers, create lesson plans, teach three class periods, and help create a final exam for Ms. Hidalgo's sophomore history classes. My mentor and I have worked cohesively in ensuring that I have been gaining the popper knowledge necessary to become the best teacher possible. I don't think that our relationship has turned into a friendship because I don't think our relationship should be on that level. I see her as a person who I can approach if I have any question about what I need to do. We have worked well together and I have enjoyed my mentorship so far.
