outline

Jasmine Bell: What were your dreams as a child?

Mentor: As a child i wanted to be president, and work in a really really cool museum those where like the two things that i wanted to do.

Jasmine Bell: Ok, What college do you go to?

Mentor: umm, currently i got to American public university, which is an online university.

Jasmine Bell: And what do you do there?

Mentor: oh, I’m getting my masters, in ancient and classical history, so um ancient Greece to the renaissance.

Jasmine Bell: how did you choice of college help you in your career?

Mentor: umm, i think my choice of an undergrad at san Diego state was a little bit better toward helping my career, umm... and basically a good foundation that history degree for working in museums.

Jasmine Bell: in 10 years what impact will your job have in the community.?

Mentor: umm hopefully if this program continues on for another 10 years it can keep up with it’s founding ughh San Diego continue to be a leader of the alternative fuel movement as far as solar and wind panels and vehicles and things like that.

Jasmine Bell: is this your passion?

Mentor: umm, is definitely my passion to help students and to work with a museum and I definitely care about the environment but my true passion does lie with history.

Jasmine Bell: What is the Best part about your Job?

Mentor: think that is the fact that I get to do lots of different things every single day so I don’t get bored

Jasmine Bell: And do you ever wish you can do more than what you are doing now?

Mentor: Umm, no cause I cant think at the moment I cant do much more *laugh* I’m a little busy so I think its actually perfect right now for me so..

Ariannah Hood: ok is global warming really happening?

Mentor: ugh well there’s some controversy over it as far as whether or not we’re not coming out of an ice age or if we’re actually warming up our environment and in my opinion it doesn’t really matter ugh because no matter what we’re harming our environment so that shouldn’t be the issue not whether or not something particular is happening so an over all effect.

Ariannah Hood: And how effective would hybrid cars be to the environment ?

Mentor: umm well it sort of depends on the battery it’s.. I mean personally disposing a batter y is is less harmful as then drilling for oil and harming our environment I don’t think is a permanent solution but I do think its something we need to look into so we can develop cleaner technology but I’m definitely a fan of a more electric vehicles.

Ariannah Hood: ok, are the statistics about energy saving light bulbs true?

Mentor: yes, they are, CFL light bulbs do save you money over traditional light bulbs.

Ariannah Hood: Where do you get your information about all of this?

Mentor: to be honest is the same way as you guys do reports at school you look online
You read journal articles you look at sources and studies and um use the same information that’s why its so important for you guys to learn the difference between good sources and bad sources

Ariannah Hood: Do you practice what you teach in your personal life?

Mentor: I would say so I don’t drive a car but I am known to forget to recycle so I mean there are some things that we have invetid to our lives at home which is really good as far as using canvas bags and if you do use plastic bags make sure there in trash cans and not driving and things like that so I think nobody has to be perfect but if you pick and chose that will work for your house hold then it’s a big improvement than what your currently doing, I’m assuming.

Ariannah Hood: ok, When you compare your dreams as when to you were a child to now are you happy to how you ended up?

Mentor: I think I’m ok where I am now I’m still definitely on the road that is a learning that since just learning point in my career its one of my management positions it’s definitely a foot at the door it made me learn before I go on happy and respect of what I learned here I think I would have finish my undergrad a little quicker and not try a double major and um stuck more to the path a little bit but I’m happy were I am.

Ariannah Hood: And in high school were you a good student? And in college are you a good student?

Mentor: in high school I was in AP classes my senior year i was in honors for most of my high school career I was on the speech and debate team and played sports and things like that so I was more well rounded I think I had a GPA of 3.3 when i graduated and 1100 on my SAT by no means was I and exceptionally a bright student um mostly because for some reason I got it in my head that an easy B was lot easier than a hard well earned A and I was ok with that um so in college I would say it depends umm I am a good student but I still have the tendency to get a little busy and overwhelmed and I think most people have that issue.

Ariannah Hood: What advice would you give to a student who didn’t know what career they wanted.

Mentor: I think that you should try a little bit of everything um try and find jobs that will let you explore lots of different avenue and different thing I mean there’s nothing wrong with having 5 jobs while your in college one every semester cause your going to take those experiences and eventually they’ll be useful hopefully.

Alejandro Morales: Do you plan of doing this for the rest of your life?

Mentor: as far as working at a museum setting at least I would say for the next 15 to 20 years I know myself and I know how I prefer to do different things, so I’m assuming probably mid career save 40’s hopefully transition to something else but there’s so much that I can do within a museum as far as educational department curatorial and all sorts of good stuff archeology so there are mo many possibilities..

Alejandro Morales: What are your dream now?

Mentor: My dreams now are to become the head curator, or researcher at a historical facilities, science or museums around the world . Really, is what I want to do um I writing my thesis on the world of duminaton a classical literature and classical ancient Greece and Rome and do I really continue studding my archeology and things like that so

Alejandro Morales: Do you feel like you are successful?

Mentor:I think I’ve done a pretty decent job considering the background that I come from I’m the first person from my family to go to college I’m definitely the first one to got o graduate school umm my parents by this time married divorced and had me so I think I’m doing a little bit better than that but umm I know a lot of people our there that are more successful as far as career wise or financial aids goes but for me I think I’m definitely doing pretty good I think

Ariannah Hood: What made you want to host a n internship?

Mentor: Oh ok so, *Cough Cough* Sorry in the past I’ve worked with you guys High Tech High ugh with the freshmen and things like that and I know that it’s a.. a high school student is a special and unique that you guys have the opportunity to do internship and so I really wanted to have interns here because I feel that its one those umm programs where you guy I can have you guys have you do different stuff and I think its more important than just having you guys go to the same place and doing the same thing every single day that you have internship and umm hopefully you guys will get a chance to learn a variety of things like teaching and administrating and see what you guys like to do

Alejandro Morales: Ok alright, Thank you

Ariannah Hood: Thank you

Jasmine Bell: Thank you

Blogging

1. Economic advice to Barack Obama?
i think that the blog with the best advise to Barak Obama is Amanda's blog because she mentions suggestions to the president and at the end she says "I would then begin to brainstorm ideas on new energy sources we could look into and talk about how we should begin putting those plans into action immediately.", and at first mentioning sugggestions and at the end shes mentions what her thoughts are.

2. Literary Analysis?
I think that Ashley's blog has good literary analysis because she makes a list for her evidence. She also goes in detail to what she found in her reading.
"When she looked in the mirror she didnt even recognize herself, until she cracked a smile. then the book says "I listened to her with mild interest. Anybody could drop a mirror i didnt see why they should get so stirred up." Not only did she break the mirror in such a calm manner but she didnt understand that it wasnt normal? So the thought process of this woman is mind boggleing."

3. Historical Writing?
Ariannah's blog about the election of 1896 was a good blog becaus e sh has so much details like dates and she talks on the election with deep thoughts and she goes quickly into the main point. It was short with good evidence.
"The election was happen just intimate, the depression of 1893 had come and it was he deepest depression yet to happen. At one point, unemployed hit 1 million people, and in 1894 it hit 3 million. the two senators running were,William McKinley a Republican, and William Jennings Bryan a Democrat."


4. Anything else that makes blogs great?
i think that a good blogg should also have pictures and videos, some kind of visual evidence and i think that in Jasmine Bell-akin's blog she has visuals.

Charles Darwin's 200th birthday

what responsibility do we have for the understanding of science?

i think that the responsibility that that we have as humans is that we need to understand science, and make new inventions. i think that the importance of science is thatwe nee to now as much as we can use what we know to make new things.

What role should scientific inquiry and scientific knowledge play in our own society?

i think that science should stay of being wha it is for our society pbecause it berafies the importance and the back growth of inventions.

How should science influence our decisions, laws, and culture?

I think that science should be large influence on our decisions, because of its provens facts. i think that it should be a part of our culture beacsue it may be good, but we all dont have the same cultures so it all depends on what the science should be for the culture.

I'm Obama's economics advisor... Parte dos...

Dear Mr. President Barak Obama, ☺

Thank you for letting me discuss 30 minutes with you.
We all know that the current American economy is an issue, and i would like to address that when you mention in the Washington Post, "Our economy will lose 5 million more jobs. Unemployment will approach double digits. Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse.", i agree with your concern, my advise is that "we should create or save more than 3 million jobs over the next two years, provide immediate tax relief to 95 percent of American workers, ignite spending by businesses and consumers alike, and take steps to strengthen our country for years to come."

Reading the Great Depression i came across this quote, "The middle-class and poor stopped buying things with installment credit for fear of loosing their jobs, and not being able to pay the interest. As a result jobs were lost, and soon people starting defaulting on their interest payment. More jobs were lost, more stores were closed, more banks went under, and more factories closed. Unemployment grew to five million in 1930, and up to thirteen million in 1932-49." so very much seems we had this problem before, and as you read this quote you realize that we really don't need to cut peoples jobs and just make more jobs available for people, or just start saving jobs for the ones that need it like the middle class and especially the lower class. I just want you to realize how this problem did happen before, and we don't want people losing their jobs, and have stores, factories, and banks closing down because the economy is getting worst and there is no employment.

Is it just Jobs? What about school? is it a crisis as well? Even if it is a crisis obama wants tom make it a long term growth, which means that they want to keep people educated and make it grow. "it's a strategy for America's long-term growth and opportunity in areas such as renewable energy, health care and education." this quote saying that they are going to make education keep growing. In the 1900's "250,000 U.S. children under age fifteen did not attend school. Instead they worked in mines and factories." and they didnt attend school, reading this quote education has changed alot and children under 16 cant work. Education in the U.S has made a change throughout the years and people have paied more attention to school, and they are making education grow.

Sincerely,
aalejandro morales ☺

Part two: Post the 1:00 p.m., Ecocenter, and Ariannah, Jasmine Bell, and I are going to use our phones, by video taping our mentor.

What makes a great interview?

Conversation- Make sure that you make the person comfortable and make it seem like a conversation but its still professional. Stay in one solid topic that way you know what you want the person to say and you want to get from them. Make sure that your interview is loud and clear and you make eye contact that way you know that they are serious about the interview and you know that they are being honest.



What i think that is important from this interview is that the lady that is being interviewed she knows what shes talking about and she is keeping eye contact and tahts good because she knows whats shes saying she feels comfortable, and she seems like shes telling the truth.

Interviewer: Kate, how are you connected with the Great Southern California ShakeOut?
Kate Long: The OES Earthquake and Tsunami Program helped developed this scenario, and OES is of course using this scenario in Golden Guardian and for the Great Southern California ShakeOut.

Interviewer: How is OES making use of the science that goes into this scenario?
Kate Long: The exciting thing about the science in the ShakeOut scenario is the enthusiasm that we’re getting from all sectors in terms of participating in the Great Southern California ShakeOut. It’s really amazing that people are responding to how important the situation is based on the detail they know. We’ve been telling them for 30 years about the probability and about what to do, but having the science is really getting people inspired to do something.

Interviewer: So, Kate, the fact that this scenario is based on real science has certainly made a difference, you would say?
Kate Long: The fact that the scenario is based on science has made a big difference. The Southern California ShakeOut is really meant to reach the public, business, schools, people who don’t usually participate in Golden Guardian. And knowing the details of the ShakeOut is really making a difference in people’s excitement and interest in getting involved, drilling, participating and getting prepared.

Interviewer: Looking at this great event for Southern California, what inspires you the most about the ShakeOut or what are you the most proud about?
Kate Long: I’m most proud that the Great Southern California ShakeOut has brought together so many different organizations from government to business to organizations; the steering committee is working with county affiliates. From every sector of society, people are joining together in ways they haven’t before, and I think the thing that will make us more prepared, as Southern Californians, is understanding that we’re all in this together.

Interviewer: Absolutely. Thank you, Kate, for your time.
Kate Long: Thank you.



Emotion-I think that one interview design principle that all interviewers always have to have is Emotion, I think that all interviews should have different emotions rather than just keeping it one emotion whether its sad, boring, interested, or etc. keeping many emotions or showing many emotions always



What i think that is important is that Beyonce is really enjoying the interview and she is being serious but at the same time she is being funny.


Biography - I think that the person show talk about the background information and the though of what the topic is.
