(1) What are you doing to fulfill the 30 hour requirement for this component?
What I have done so far is completed my first aid class. I have yet to do some hours at the injury screening clincs. I also plan to do something about basketbal because I will probably focus more towards basketball injuries.
(2) What are you currently working on? How many hours have you completed?
As of now I have completed nine hours and 30 minutes. I am going to start helping out at the injury screening clincs.
(3) So far, how is it helping you with your essential question?
Well the first aid class gave me more injury prevention knowledge which is one of my essential question answers.

Independent Component 2 Plan
The independent component is an opportunity for you top select a direction and create your own component. Each component must demonstrate 30 hours of work. There are two components. Please remember to review the contract.
1) Discuss possible ideas you have to complete this requirement?
Well I have already signed up for a First Aid class at the Red Cross and I will be taking it on the 2/26. This class is 9 hours and 30 minutes long. I plan to fill up the rest of time requirement by volunteering at the sports injury screenings at Casa Colina which is different from the kind of work I already do for service learning.
The injury screenings are every sunday and ae open for three hours. If I start doing that I should have 30 hours by April 29.
2) How will these idea(s) help answer your EQ?
Basically this independent component plan will help me fill in evidence for what is currently my 3rd EQ answer which is, "Collaboration with the coaches, physicans, athletes on future injury prevention. The First Aid Class will be applicable to sports-related injurys and provide me with injury prevention skills. The class description included topics such as responses for breathing and cardiac emergencies, soft tissue and skeletal injuries. And a cool bonus would be if I do pass I will be certified for two-years. Now part 2 of my plan is to observe the sports injury screenings at Casa Colina. The information I get from there will be different from the ones I do at regular service learnig hours because I only see athletes who are already injured. At the screenings I will be able to talk active athletes and injury prevention techniques.

Independent Component 1
1)Discuss possible ideas you have to complete the independent requirement?
-To complete my independent task I have been planning to shadow at a place called TEAM Physical Therapy, which is an outpatient rehabilitation clinic. I have their contact information but have still yet to ask permission.
2) How will these idea(s) help answer your EQ?
-This idea will definitely help me answer my essential question. I specifically chose this facility as they highly specialize in sports medicine. My EQ asks for a physical therapist helping out an athlete scenario and they offer free sports injury screening for local clubs, high school and collegiate athletes. They also have a number of patients that have included the likes of MLB pitchers, NFL cornerbacks, Olympic softball and track athletes.
