Blog 8 - Independent Component 1 Proposal

Leadership is not given it is learned!

1. Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
• My plan for my independent component is to create a club with two of my peers who are, Jessica Jimenez-Aguilar and Isaiah Garcia. The club that we are planning to create will be titled “Leadership Club”. The purpose of the club is to get youngsters involved in the Military and Law Enforcement by learning and gaining hands on experience. It is a great way to work on developing leadership skills, bettering self-discipline, and building long lasting friendships. Because the club itself is Law Enforcement and Military based there will be physical training as well as short class lectures.
• Once the club is up and running there will be weekly meeting held on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school. But if it seems too much for the students then plans can always change to accommodate our club members. We are planning to also have weekend meetings to physically train the students who join the club. During the weekday meetings, the plan is to go over basic information and several class lectures that will be fun and entertaining 
2. Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
• Like I’ve stated in my previous question, we would meet at least once a week with the students who join the club. If the members of the club as well as the staff meets once time on a weekly basis for at least 1 hour and have side trainings on the weekend then that would give us 30 hours. The way we would show the evidence would be by completing “Minute Forms” provided by ASB.
• If more evidence is needed then pictures would be taken and gathered so at the very end a scrapbook can be made and kept as a memory of an accomplishment that was made.  
3. Explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.
• The club itself is to make strong leaders for the future of America. Law Enforcement and Military go along the lines of the great amount of work effort, dedication and motivation one must put into it. Creating the club will help me explore my topic in depth due to the greater amounts of research I’d have to put in and teach other students who are interested in Law Enforcement. In the Law Enforcement field one must be able to show command presence and be able to work under stress. Many people don’t understand how Law Enforcement works and voicing my opinion and showing some research would help them understand what Law Enforcement really is about and several tasks Officers undergo.
• The several lectures that I plan to give the members of the club would go in much greater depth and will benefit me in completing my senior project. It may be possible that ideas can be given during lecture time.
