Independent Component 1 Plan Approval

1) Write a description of what you plan on doing for your independent study component.

• For my independent study component I am planning in working at a day care, helping out kids.

2) Describe in detail how you think your plan will meet the 30 hours work requirement.

• I would be going to do hours at a day care and meet 30 hours taking care of the children who stay there and also tutor them, play with them. I'm looking forward in meeting different kids and their personality because Norma Perez told me during m interview that I should go work at a day care because its a way to see how foster care works, and also because in foster care you deal with different type of kids who have different issues and its a way to know if working with kids is what I want to do.  During my hours I hope I can meet different children and get to spend time with them and help them out when ever they will need me.

3) How does your independent study component relate to your EQ?

• My independent component relates to my EQ because I would get to see what I need to make children believe and be comfortable with others and a new home for them, I know that in day care I'm not looking to find them a permanent home but I am dealing with kids who need to believe and others and spend time with them without feeling bad.  In foster care there is kids who are really shy or just hurt that they are scare to talk to others and in day care once you leave a child there they think that their parents won't come back for them so then all they want to do is sit in the corner and not talk to nobody so the way to solve that is to build them trust and make them know that by the end they will be happy.
