Starting to actually blog
So I figure I'd jump in on this blogging phenomena and start using this thing. So an update. I love my topic. Went and volunteered today for the first time in a couple weeks. I took Spring Break off, because I was out of town, and before that I was sick for a couple of weeks. During my absence, I found that my main mentor, Erick Gochez, moved up and went to go to another facility. That didn't worry me too much, because I still have his assistant, who is now the full fledged activities director for Heritage Court now. I don't really know what to put in these posts, but as I do it more and more, I'm sure I'll get better :P

Blog 19; Senior Project and ESLRs
1. The ESLR that I think I have excelled most in this year is the communication.
2. I have to constantly communicate with the residents, as well as set up activities to make everyone happy.
3. Proof of me doing this.
Here is a picture of my Mentor, Erick Gochez, and his assistant, at a party that we put together for the facility. We had to make sure the entertainment, along with the food, was appropriate.
