I like this hair design. It looks complicated and
I hope that my sponsor can do this.

Proof of project.

Well, for my proof for my project would be that I painted Kaisey's (do not know how to spell) nails. I'm practicing and getting better every day. I'm my own teacher since I did not have time to get a sponsor and all that I'm doing is to watch videos and learn by myself. I think they came out good and that I'm getting better. I'm so excited to accomplish new things.

Well, Yesterday I went to see my sponsor like every week. Mr. Snider could not go with me so I was upset because he did not go and the fact that his grandmother die was devastating. I was at the mall and my sponsor was not there yet. So, Kamara was teaching a new technique for breading. Later on Kamara can in a told me that was someone was looking for me. I came out with the mannequin in my hand and Mr. Snider was there smiling and everything. SO I ended trimming his hair and he loved it. He was surprise as to how fast I learn different techniques as to trim his hair. He was talking to my sponsor (she came in when I was trimming his hair) and asking her about my accomplishments and I how I was adapting to the salon. I was surprise because I was not prepare for him to go the salon and I was also nervous. The hair cut turn out good and he said that he would be buying me lunch and for the class he will bring pretzels. I was proud of my self!!!

Filed Trip #19

These week I did not spend as much time a I had liked with my sponsor because of issues that are going on in school. I did went and was nice to see everyone again. My sponsor is going on vacation these week, so that means that she will not be here. I did talked to her about going to the Cutting Crew and practiced on the mannequins. I need to practice and become better. All that I did was take some pictures and watch a women get waxed. I enjoy every time that I'm her.

road to project

Well, I have all ready the pictures for my back ground in my presentation and I'm currently waiting for Mr. Roddy approval. I was thinking of designing my brochure in a different way. For example, having a menu or a price card with my outline of my presetation. To not expend so much money I was thinking of having a folder with pictures that would be pass around and be observe. I still have to meet with Mr. Roddy and see what he thinks about my ideas.

Yesterday and today I went to talk to the juniors about senior project. In my personal opinion, I think that the juniors did not care or did not believe the things that we told them. Mr. Snyder and I talked about the current students in role in Senior Project and of how it can be a way to open a door to a new world. I was glad to see some students asking questions and possibly thinking of joining the Senior Project Seminar. I hope that the students that do get pick have a good year like I have.

Unfortunately, I had to change my mentor because of time circumstances. Mr. Roddy is my current mentor and I can not explain how he enjoys helping me. He is not just my mentor but a friend. He tries to understand everything that I say to him. I give him my ideas and he polish them and makes them even better. I think that we are becoming a team and that my final project would come out great. He also helps me to understand everything that I need to accomplish for my project. I'm really excited to have him as my mentor. Thank you Mr. Roddy.

Connection BLog

For my final project I will be performing highlights and explaining how the color works and how long does it takes to pull the color in. In the mean time I will be taking pictures and uploading them to a CD so at my presentation it will become a slide show while I performed my highlights. I will try to go tomorrow fro at least 10 minutes and tell my sponsor that I will only take pictures as of this week and the following week I will be able to continue my learning. I hope everything goes well and I'm excited to see my final project.

Field Trip can not go

SO, this week I can not visit my sponsor because I got in trouble for going seven hours to my sponsor. I can only visit her after school, but I can not because I'm working almost every afternoon. I do not have anything in mind.The only thing that I will do is watch some videos and try to practice on my highlights. I also have to study for my AP test and to finish two more project for my AP 3-D Study Art test. I hope that I pass both of them or at least just one!!!

For my free blog I chose to do sports. As of right now I'm playing bowling and getting better for my surprise. During the summer I want to play soccer again and I hope that Sofia will play with me. I hope to spend more time with her since I'm in school and working during the night I do not get to see her. I want to spend more time with her and I will try to so that by incorporating soccer in our lives. I hope that she likes it and would be glad as well as if she does not like it.

This week all that I did was art, and that is my connection because art and hair goes hand in hand. They are related because you can create a piece of art in hair as long as you can and can handle hair. I love hair but is difficult for me to do my own hair, I like to work on others people hair as long as they let me. In art you need plan out what would next step as well as in hair. You need to know if what you are doing satisfy the customer because you can not go back and fix it. I remember when I did my first cut by my self and was nervous but my sponsor was not there for me, so I trusted my own knowledge. I was scared of messing with the hair, but I accomplish my goal as to what I wanted to get done. My boyfriend said to me not to worry and that it was only hair and that it would grow back. He was please to see me live my dream to learn and became a hairstylist. At lease I get a change to try it out. In conclusion, art and cosmetology goes hand in hand.

Field Trip # 18

- (I did it similar but smaller the idea was the same)



















On Wednesday, I went there and got a ride so I got to be there at 10:00 am. during the time I was waiting for her, Lucy was there and she was excited to see me. She ask about school and if I have apply for college or trade school. She also told me that if she was mean to me, she was sorry but that was the way she was. I told her not to worry that I was there so everyone can judge my work and if I'm doing something wrong to tell me so I can improve. She keep jocking with me all day long an I really enjoy her company. She also gave tips about working and the things
she said to me was that If I become a
"hairstylist" to work in a one place and start a book there and build my way up. People will start knowing an dhow I work and probably make some friends but the most important would be clients. Now a days new hairstylist change from place to place and their clients would not look for them, because they did not get time to spend with them. She was glad that I choose this career and told me that I will enjoy it every day. New people come in and talk to you sometimes even make your life better. I saw highlights getting done and I flat iron a mannequins and well as did a hair do that was a heart shape and then on the sides was braided.

On Tuesday, I went to my sponsor as usual. I was there at 1100 am., since is early I get to spend more time with my sponsor becasue the rush hour is mostly in the after noon. She was waiting for me and she was excited when I told her that I will be there for the whole day or you could say most of the morning. She told me that today I was not going to be with her instead I was handed to Barbara( a co-worker). That Barb was going to show me how to tease hair and use roller sets. She also told me that I was going to try it and see how dose it feels. I watch closely as Barb was teasing and older women's hair. She was working with two women and in one of those women she was also doing a perm. I got to see how does a perm start and finish. The solution that she put in the hair was strong and I felt dizzy since. It also upset my stomach and did not wanted to eat all day. After about two hours Marti ask me about how I felt and now a days, most people do not tease their hair and if they do they use heating curlers instead of rollers sets. I did learn so much this day and did not wanted to leave but I need to go get my daughter and go home.

In my free blog, I chose to have some free time for my self.
I needed to be alone and to forget all the things that are going on in my life. So on Friday, I went bowling at night with my boyfriend since my daughter was sleeping we left her with my sister and law. I had fun and my boyfriend and I had some time a lone to spend. He show me some tricks but I could not do them and we enjoy it a lot. I liked this weekend. All the stress that we had disappear for the moment and we enjoy our free time. We hope to do it again in the future,but this time take my daughter with us.

Field Trip #16

During this week I got to try something new. I tried eyebrow waxing. I tried on my mom's eye browns and she said that it did not hurt at all. That she did not notice which eye brown I did. I was please that Marti got to show me something new and she also explain to me the procedures as to waxing and the consequences if you wax the same spot twice. I did like to wax and look forward to do it again.

This week I had to think hard about having connections but I mange to think something. While I was writing my blogs I hit space and It came in some other language. I did not understand why an could not fix it. It happen in school and at my house but I hit EDIT HTML and kind of fix it. I had to have patience while writing my blogs, and that made think of hair, because I have to have patience to deal with people and the complains that they might give me while treating their hair. Or in the other hand while they keep talking and never be quiet and that might get annoying.

The movie that we saw while the rest of our class was away was "Departures". The film had different emotions and it show how the living eat the dead. Make up is a important part in the movie. They show how the dead need to be prepare for the after life. Two scenes that touch my heart was when the main actor sees the burning part is closing a door to this life and right after that birds fly off and they are together like in a pack. The same way we are, we stick together and we take off for the next life. Since I want to study cosmetology and that involves make up as well. I loved this movie and I learned so much too. About a father that did not forgot about his son even though that he was not with him, he still loved him until the very last day of his life.

Well, this Tuesday I went really early and was wating for Marti. She was late again and I observed the second part of a perm. She came in until 11:30 a.m. and was in a hurry because she had people waiting for her. She did not ahve any time for me but I still got to learned something new. I feel that everytime that I go she does not have time for me any more. She was close to me before but now she leaves me to fly solo. She will show me once and then I have to do it. She tells me that I learn fast and I also do it correctly. She bought me my clippers and two combs. one is for highlights and the other one I still do not know. Marti also gave me clipper cleaner and a brush to clean my clippers went I use it.

Field Trip #14

Tuesday April 6, 2010, I went to see my sponsor as always and she was there (hurray!!!!!)

I was excited for to today, I wanted to be surprise and at the end I was.

Marti, came in en minutes late, and told one of the girls there that I had to observed them until she acme in. I did as I was told and both of the girls were excited to see me since we did not see each other often. When she came in she call me to the office and started to talk to me like she was mad or something. (she was talking as a teacher). She said that the lesson for today was going to be highlights!!. We took the mannequin out and she was looking for gel. She said that we need to practice first and then I will be aloud to use real hair coloring. She explain the procedure and i follow her as she did it. I was nervous because this would be my first time doing it, I have only watched them get done. I tried first with a short hair mannequin and then with a long hair mannequin. She asked some questions about how I felt about highlights and I answer that I love highlights but in long hair it takes more practice than in shorter hair. At the end I rised out both of the mannequins and clean up all the mest that I did. I was excited and could not wait to tell my mom about my day.

Field Trip #13

On, April 1, 2010 I went to see my sponsor and she was there. She also apologize for not being there on Tuesday and she was embarrassed because she did not call me to let me know that she was not going to be there at 11 a.m.
Thursday, I was there at five and Marti was waiting for. I convince two friends of mine, to let me trim their hair. Both of my friends agreed and I worked my magic. They were pleased and i was happy as well. Marti did not helped me that much as before because she was busy with her clients. I left at 7:45 p.m. Before I walked out one of Marti co-workers started to talk to me about her career as a hairstylist. About how she enjoys being one and working as well.
In conclusion, I was happy that I got to do something instead of just watching and starting to be involved. I can not waite until Tuesday.

• Having a career is something that you love and want to do it for the rest of your life or at least part of your life. For me, cosmetology is the career that I can be with in my rest of my life. The same way that I will be with my boyfriend. A career is something that you love and enjoy doing. A phrase that I like saying is why be miserable when you can do want you like and why do something that you do not enjoy. If you do not like something well do not do it because you will do it wrong. People like to see other people happy and enjoying them selves.

Today I went to see my sponsor and SHE WAS NOT THERE. I was mad because she did not even told me before hand that she was not going to be there. The worse thing is that I can even say anything to her because she is doing me a favor by being my sponsor. The good thing was that I got a change to be with my self and think of everything that I have pass through my life. the good things and as well as the bad things, of how I have made mistakes and learned from them as well.

Field Trip # 11

Today I visited my sponsor. I left after seven period, had to pick up my baby and my mom had to baby sit. Today I trim my sister's ("Gaby") hair. I also blow dry her hair as well. I got to see a costumer mad, because one of the girls did not perform her job correctly. She did not cut a boy's hair as how his mom wanted it. I hurry up and left because I did not wanted to see the customer mad. I was scared if I every go through that scenario. I was happy that I did everything without the help of Marti. At the end of the trim, she observed and toke some pictures, and she also check everything of how I trim my sister's hair. I was glad to go back to the salon.

As I was brain storming for this blog, I taught about my daughter. Marti, my sponsor is teaching me how to be a excellent hairstyle's. In the other hand I'm teaching AnaSofia my daughter to talk and how to eat with her hands, as well as how to play with different toys. She loves to be around books and she will pay attention to you when you read to her. She does understand what you are saying and they are like sponges that will absorb everything in their path. She knows what to do when I'm around and the same when someone else is around. As well as I do when Marti is teaching me something new or any other person. I love to learn new things and I want to learn more every day.

Emotions toward Sponsor # 11

Who will be my perfect sponsor? Well, my sponsor in my opinion is the best person that I could encounter in my life. She has taught me a lot during this time. She has been a friend and a sponsor at the same time. We even have the same last name. We have been shopping for the supplies that I will be needing for my final project. So far she has not told NO for anything. She is always smiling, and has a great sense of humor. The girls that she works with are great; they tell you everything about trimming hair and their experiences as well as the schools they have attended. This is the best experience ever!!!

Cutting hair is an art. If you do not do it right, it will not come out good. I have a sprain ankle and is the same as cutting hair or similar. If a person does not take care and follow all the instruction like your doctors says then you will do more harm than good. If you do not cut hair properly then your design would not come out good. You have to performed the best possible and follow every single step. The same way as a sprain ankle and performing a hair cut.

Today Thursday. I went on a field trip. My sponsor and I went to different beauty stores. In two of the stores we went to was for license stylers' or students only. On the first one, we did not buy anything, so we went to Cherry Hill Mall and behind the mall, there was a beauty supply store and we bought the cape, some lotions, and hair clippers. We also went to the Cherry Hill Beauty Supply and there I bought my apron, a blow dryer , and finally a Chi Ceramic Hairstyling Iron. All together I spend over $100.00 dollars. I was excited to get my supplies together for my presentation at the end of the year. We talked about me getting used to use my tools and starting next week I will use my own tools.http://cdn2.overstock.com/images/products/P12078774.jpg

This poem describes the joy of experiencing motherhood for the first time and knowing that in this child's life he/she loves you most of all.
Mommy Cries
© Ashley R. Smiley
The waters will still ebb and flow,The moon still pulls the tide.But nothing could be more naturally so,Than the tears from a mothers eyes.It starts the day your child is born when he's first laid upon your breast,In spite of pain from muscles worn,Heartstrings tug at your chest.Tear drops fall from sleepy eyes and trickle down your cheeks,You listen as your child first cries for your breast which he seeks.Time has passed the pain is gone; a bonding has taken place,You look at your little one; the tears still on your face.Just once more you look at him before you lay him down to sleep,You reach out for a kiss on a whim; knowing your heart is his to keep.

The poem made me think of the day that I was in labor and that indeed I did feel the same sensation that the author described in the poem. You forget all the pain that you are having and all you want to do is to be next to her. Nothing matters and that she is the most beautiful newborn baby that there is in the whole wide world. Time flies and now she is not a newborn she now has nine months and later a year, two year, ten years and so on. When that happens, you realized that you have someone that looks up to you for help or simply to hug you and say thank you. You relize that YOU are the person that would help them in any way possible and you will lead them to a good life.

When I think of the most important person in my life.AnaSofia cames in my mind. My daughter ,AnaSofia, is my stress reliever. When I see her smile or giggle, it's when I understand that I'm the only person that understands her. I'm the only one that she will count on later in her life. No one would take care of her as I will, not even my boyfriend. I will always be next to her and support her in anyway that I can. That is when I stop say"everything that I'm doing is for her". I do not go out and only work and go to school. All the time that I have left is for her and she knows that, she can understand when I busy doing my homework, during that time she will not cry and play silently until I go over to her play with her. She loves to dance and I do to. SO I dance with her and that relieves my stress. Thank you God for giving me such a amazing daughter SHE IS THE BEST!.

During my visit to my sponsor, I had an hour to performed a hair do. I did combine two completely different designs. I did repeated many times the same disign.

Field Trip --7

Wednesday is my field trip to my sponsor. I was excited since I was going to get highlights done!!!. Like always, I greeted my sponsor and the other employees. I told my sponsor about the plans that I had in mind. About the field trip that I wanted her and me to go. The field trip consisted of going to different stores and creat a butged for my future presentation. That butged would include everything that I will need for my final presentation day.

Marti agreed and was excited as well.

She had a few cuatomers waiting for her, so she told my highlights would have to wait until one of the other girls can in to work(that will be around 2 o'clock. I waiting until then, on the mean time, she had me performed on a maniquin a hair do. She told me how she wanted, but like always I do not follow directions and I started imagine a hair do.

I breaded the hair on the bottom and did some twist to the hair that was left.

She was surprise with the finish product. Marylyn, walked in and was time for me to get my hightlights. I wrote down all of the ingredients and how to performed it as well.(at the end I will tell you)

We were finish and I receive a call from my sister, Gaby.

She informed me that my brother-in-law wanted ME to cut his hair.

I told Marti about it and she said yes. Ernesto, chose the designed that he liked and I did my magic. I did get some help and everything else it was on my own. The hair cut came out really good and Ernesto was happy with the job I performed.

It was time for to go and she filled out my paper like always. I was there from 12:30-5:45 p.m.

Ingredients:

Choose your color.

You will need foil, the desire color, a comb.

Mix the color, some volume so the color can penetrate.

Sit in a chair.(Do not wash your hair at all or the color would not penetrate)

Divide the hair in four sections.

Grab small pieces of hair and place they on the foil. Apply the color and close the foil tight.

Repeate the process until the mix runs out or when desired.

Sit for 30 minutes. So the mixture would penetrate your hair.

After the time is up wash and blow dry .

You are finish.

This qoute represents for me a true friend. Even if you make a mistake a true or real friend is besides you no matter what. Jessica, is my true friend ,she has been there for me as I will always be there for her. We were both pragnant at the same time. Our babies are one moth apart. We will always talk about our problems and have a good time together. We stop talking for a while because she move away and drop out of school.I was not happy becasue of that. Her mom would not help her and that was just mean. Around two moths ago, she look for me and since then we have talked almost everyday. Jess and I only know and can understand each other becasue we have similar lifes and we were both pregant at the same time. We can share stories of our babies and our lifes. WE are not proud ,becasue we got pregnant at a yought age but, we thank god becasue our babies are in good health. It is a hard life ,but we do not regret anything. She was there when I lost my friends and I was there when she needed me. I hope form now on that we stay best friends for ever.

Connection to Environmenal Science

I was excited when Saturday or Sunday I can not really remember, I saw electricians putting solar panel around the stoplights. That is when it hit me about if you can not take care of your how would you take care of the environment. I was surprise seen the solar panels. Then Katie told me about shampoo can be be harm to the environment as well.
"Sodium Laureth Sulfate - used in clinical testing as a primary skin irritant. Tests on lab animals indicate material may cause mutagenic effects.
Cocamidopropyl Betaine - potential irritant and potentially contaminated with or breaking down into chemicals linked to cancer.
Ammonium Chloride - Harmful if swallowed. May be harmful by inhalation. Skin, eye and respiratory irritant"
This three are the ones that impact me the most. You are also polluting your own body.

Last Wednesday,I meet with my sponsor, she was excited to know that I in did decided to trim my hair and get a new style, also I was scared to not like the final result. We also talked about my research paper and of how normal actions can cuase major problems, some examples were, that you can wash your hair every other day ,because you wash away nautral oils and you do not let those oils get through your hair. Another one, is if you have a perm done to your hair and your hair is not healthy then you will harm your hair really bad also, if you get a perm done and follow by another one it will harm your hair and it will casue your hair to fall out. The last things that we talked about was about coloring your hair or just doing highlights, some of the color will penetrate your scalp and casue manjor problems to your hair, but that is reare, it only really happens between one million people(not sure about the number).
Finally, my sponsor told me that she will help me research for my reaseach paper, also she wants to do perform a perm and highlights in my hair, she does not charge me but I still give her money for the great shoj she does.

Field Trip-- 4

Today was my day for my field trip. I could not called my sponsor ,because I acciendenty lost her phone number. As I was trap in my house because of the snow and my daughter sleeped really good, I had a change to read a book called ,BOBBI BROWN TEENAGE BEAUTY by Bobbie Brown and Annerie Iverson. When I was reading I notice that you do not need to wear so much make up. A girl is always beutiful. Also you do not need to stress over so many things becasue you are still in high school. A qoute that I like in the book was "My idea of the perfect make over is to make a girl prettier, naturally.'' This book helped me understand better of how a person can apply make up better and correctly.

Project Connections!!!

I could not think of a connection with hair, the only think that I could make connections would be with time. You need time to do your hair or to make a style. Probably I do not have time to spend on my hair. But people that do have time they often straight their hair or make it curly. I do have the utensils to do the same but I'm often tired because of my daughter not wanting to go to sleep during the night. The good thing is that I do have time to do her hair. She does not like it but she does not have a choice.

Who inspires you?

Well, the person that inspires me is my daughter and also my mom. They are the most important persons in my life. They make me laugh and enjoy life better. For example, my mom would always say to my sister and I, to keep going and to be a better person, because we now have a little person that we need to look over.
My mom is has been a role model that I would like to follow. She has been there every time that I had made mistakes and she is the first one to pick me up when I have fallen. My sister has been there next to me and support me when ever I face obstacles in my life. I would never regret for having a daughter, and a mom that loves me.

Field Trip -==3

During my third visit, I was really excited I got to do so many things. The first hing that I was to get out of school early and when to get my daughter and MY MOM!. After that, I had to meet with my sponsor at 1:15 pm. So, I arrive in time and only waited for my mom to came up the stairs. I shoopom my mom's hair. then I trim my her hair evenly. My sponsor only watched what was I doing. If i did something wrong she would tell me(that only happen two times!!).
After that, I watched my sponsor waxing my mom's eyebrows. The next time I will do it to her.
My mom was nervous, but I think that I accomplish my first goal.

I all ready meet with my sponsor. She is a very cool lady and I really like her a lot. On the first day I heard everyone's story of how they started in cosmetology. She also asked me about the final project. My sponsor wented me too create it and she will only give me some ideas as too what would be better. She want's me to get better in trimming hair and to learn as much as I can.
There were happy and excited the same as me. On the second visit, I shampoo the hair of a mannequin and give her a trim as well. Just a small trim so I would have it for later on the road. I did not meet my sponsor on the past two weeks because we had our kick off event and then she needed to go to a meeting last week. She is patient and she is a really good teacher. I really enjoy having her as a sponsor.
My mom will be caming with me on my next visit and I will trim her hair. We will not pay anything and if I wan to try to color it well then I will have to pay just for the color.

Monday's HW

1. At this point, you should have concrete plans to see your sponsor once per week for about an hour.

Yes, I go every week for two hours and my visits are on Wednesday.

2. Which day will you be visiting your sponsor and why did you select this day?
How will you get to your sponsor?
Wednesday will be the day that I will visit my sponsor. We selected this day ,because I do not work and because she is not too busy and have time to spend with me.

3.What difficulties with the the student sponsor obligation can you anticipate at this point?
In reality I do not anticipate any difficulties. We get along and I have learned so much form her. The time that she gives me is a lot. On every visit, I get to do something new. I even borrow DVD's to watched at home (they do everything fast).

4. Write a paragraph explaining what exactly you want to get from your sponsor. Be specific.
Well, I want to get form my sponsor a lot of knowledge. She knows what is going on and she explains everything that is happening. For example, I all ready have started to trim hair, just the basic ,but is a start. Also, she will get help me in my presentation and would even allow me to bring a person with me and trim there hair for FREE. She will teach me different techniques that I will be applying on mannequins and in real people. There fore, she will be involved in everything that I will be presenting and creating.

Today!! :') :')

My mentor told me to change how I do my hair. (In reality, I have not done it) Nothing happen to me today,but yesterday it was the day that I saw different styles. I was shopping for baby formula and some household items. One guy was wearing a real long hair and it was all straight. Then, there was a girl that had her hair smooth, but at the same it was curly. On the top, she had a big red flower, with blues and yellow. Next to flower, there was a green rose, with black spots. Many people were staring at her and some kids were laughing at her. That made me think that I will try something new and probably will enjoy it.

"Kick of Event"

Last night, it was our "Kick of Event" in Lindenwold High. I had to introduce my future final project and also tell everyone who was my family, mentor and sponsor. A course, my mom was there and my daughter too, not to mention my boyfriend. Unfortunate, my sponsor could not make it and neither one of the other sponsors' were there and that made me sad, because they were not showing support. Well, after all we had our teachers and families their to support us. In general, the mentors were excited and we were too!. We are just with this whole adventure and I hope that this program would open the doors for everyone.

Current Events

On Wednesday, a temblor hit Haiti just 8 weeks later form Jan,12 earthquake. The magnitude was 6.1. The Prime Minister said that he was going to send a plane to check how everything was going.

Good Deeds and Maturity

Things that I'm doing to improve a life? Well, sincerely I'm not doing anything. The only thing that I'm doing is to stop working so I can spend more time with my daughter. She needs my attention and especially my love. I think that I am assuming responsabilities and knowing what are my limits. That I need time with my family, I also need to work. Help support my daughter or at least help in the house with some money. I need to a be mom, a student, and a house keeper and finally be a worker.

Weekend Growth/General Knowledge

During these weekend, I did not visited any place new. The only thing that I did learned was how to be more responsible. Now I know, that I have to stay home when my daughter is sick. It was a horrible decision that I made. I really wanted to go shopping and I went, but my daughter was sick and I had to returned home immediately. I did not got a chance to look for anything and that was really a waste of time. By the time I got home, I needed to get ready to go to work. My boyfriend toke care of her and waited until I returned from work.

Field Trip #2 1/13/2010

Every second that I'm with my sponsor I learn so much from her. On my last visit (1/13/2010), I did so many things. The first thing, was to shampoo the hair of a mannequin. Marti ,my sponsor, show me how to shampoo the correct way, to not let water run into the ears or the shampoo. Yes, I did trim the hair of the mannequin.(that was really exciting !!!!) I did not trimmed so much hair ,because I wanted to keep on trimming later on. I did watched techniques used on the customers and even borrow a DVD to watched at home. I did not really liked the DVD, but still watched any way. All the girls were helpful and told me about schools that I might enjoy and would do some researched. They also told me how to be friendly with customers and to understand them better. I told my sponsor about The Kick Off Event that we will be having. (She was excited about the event). Mrs. Nefferdorf my mentor said that she will be late or either on time. I'm looking forward for my next visit.!!:')

Good Deeds and Maturity

Just yesterday I was a purveyor for my sister. I listen to her and gave advise about babies. She now knows how to handle the crying and fusing a baby. She was having a hard time not knowing what to do or how to handle the crying of the baby. It's now that that hard time comes to play. They start to roll back and cry for nothing even if you yell near them. They stat to eat more and they always want to play with you. They even do not like to be left alone. All that I did was to help her and let her know that I was here with her.

You are what you read

What I learn from books or magazines is different from what I learned in school.
There are differnt ways to learn and newspapers are the best way to try to learn somethinig new. When I was reading this articel, it made me think if I wanted to go in cosmetology. The true answer is YES, and you know why? Is because I want to be near people and to try to emake people feel good about themselves. Therefore, I want to be involved in cosmetology and you learn every day something new.
