Blog 13: 10 Hour Mentorship Check-In


1.   Where are you doing your mentorship?

I am doing my mentorship alongside my mentor Sam Hernandez. We usually meet up at a Starbucks to talk about our work and cover new material since Disney doesn't allow me to come and shadow there. We cover a lot of information and its still as if I were to shadow him at Disney. I've had the opportunity to shadow one of his freelance assignments.

2.   Who is your contact?  What makes this person an expert?

My contact is Sam Hernandez. He's an expert because he's been working in this field for more than 10 years. He has a lot of information that he's already taught me and there's a lot more he has in store for our mentorship together.

3.   How many hours have you done during the school year? (Summer Mentorship Hours and Mentorship Hours should be reflected separately in your Senior Project Hours log located on the right hand side of your blog).

This year I have completed 12 hours with my mentor. We haven't been able to meet weekly but we plan to set a schedule for us to follow from now up until May to achieve the 50 hours required.

4.   Succinctly summarize what you did, how well you and your mentor worked together, and how you plan to complete the remaining hours.

We've covered a lot of information and topics so far in our mentorship.  We've gone over website designing, logos, and a glimpse into motion graphics. We began a mini project that he planned for me and are in the works with it and he's been helping me learn how to design my independent component #1 website to the best of my ability. We work together very well. From the very beginning, we got off to a good start and it's never been hard to get along/ work alongside him. When my mentor comes back from Australia, we are going to meet up to set weekly appointment for when we come meet and set up future freelance work days in which I can shadow and assist him. From what we already discussed, it's going to be quite simple to finish all the hours.
