Field Trip-- 6

During this week I went to see my sponsor. I did not have a ride ,so I had to walk and take the bus. When I was walking ,I got to think about everything that I have learned with my sponsor. I was surprise of how many things I have learned. I got there at 12:45 p.m. Marti was coloring the hair a women and I imediately watched the procedure to color hair. It took Marti around 30 minutes to finish applying the color and then about 45 minutes to dry and wash out the color. The color came out excellent. Anaita in the other hand, was doing a cut in boy,I watch every single step and she explained everything that she was doing and why. Then Marti and I went to the back and show me how to perfornmed a hair do. I read two books and they explained every step. I grab a maniquin and started to work my magic. I was finish and everyone came to see what I had done. Everyone was cheking it and telling me how to do it better. Lucy, was the last one to came(she always look mad) nad told em that it was ok but ti could be better. I told her that it was my first try, I did get upset ,but sudently she hug me and told be that perfection would came over many tries. For the first time she gave me a smile and told me that I'm starting to be part of their hair crew salon.I was pleased to hear that. Lter at night, I gave my boyfriend a hair cut and it came out good. I was surprise of how good it came out.

Friend Ship

"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."
"A friend is one who walks in when others walk out" -Walter Winchell

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.

Field Trip --5

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.

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.
