Literal
In total from when I first started in September, I have done 197 hours. My log of specific hours is on the right side of my blog and it is updated. I know we were supposed to do at least 50 hours, but since I did more I hope what applied in the beginning of the year that all our hours for our mentorship counts as community service still applies.
Contact Name: Ariana Nasseri
Mentorship: Amar's Children Center
Interpretive
The most important thing I've gained from this experience is to be more understanding of autistic children. Before I never really understood their struggles and how most of them are bullied until I saw it with my own eyes. Many kids bullied Sergio because he reacted to things differently than the rest of them and that isn't okay.. I think we should all be kind and accept each other for who we are. There is no use in bashing others for things they can not control.
Applied
What I've done has helped me answer my EQ because Ariana is actually in an early intervention program with Sergio. She is trying out 40 different programs with him, I know it seems crazy right. But she has to find out which one is the best for him and which one will help him accomplish more in life. Sergio actually has a mild case of autism but he has been very cooperative the whole time and he seems to understand things the way Ariana explains them.
