Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Plan Approval

1.  For my Independent Component, I plan on fulfilling a substantial amount of service learning by working with a counselor at John Marshall Middle school.
2. I think that this will meet my 30 hour requirement because the counselor has this groups named SAP. This The counselor created this group so that the teenagers feel comfortable expresing themselfs with there peers. SAP also has other things activity's such as dance, scrap booking, and drawing class. I believe they do this so the teens can focus on other things and its a big stress reviler. 
3. My Independent Study Component relates to my EQ because I am trying to discover what aspect of how to become a successful counselor to kids that deal with peer pressure. This group would hopefully let me take change, when they believe I'm ready of course, to have an experiences that is life learning.

Defining the Essential Question

1. My Essential Question is: " What is a best way to become a successful Child Psychologist for teens who are going through peer pressure?"
2.  Words to know:
• "successful" - Being proficient and efficient. 
• "patient" - tolerant; understanding. Being patient for some will require practice, and might have to change one's mindset, because the more challenging a situation becomes the more likely one is to become impatient. Only practice can help one become patient.  Keep in mind that patients will take time but will fulfill your goal.

1. From the research that I have found and looked at so far, I think a few possible answers to my Essential Question could be: being patient
2. Currently, I would have to say that my most important source so far is Andrea Gomez : The Child Psychologist I once had during Middle School. She goes extremely in depth into how and what i should do in order to become one, even other jobs that use psychology, and certain bits and pieces of knowledge that are good to know.
