Contact name: Mrs.Ortega
Contact number: N/A
Description of duties: The meeting column on my log explains what we were doing when we met.
Mrs.Ortega-This means that Mrs.Ortega and I were working on something that was towards the peer mediation program at I-poly. Whether it be coming up with activities for the class or setting up for mediators to visit classes.

DBAS Day- This refers to the event hosted by the peer mediation program, Don't Be A Stranger Day.This took a lot of planning and when we met we talked about how the event was going to be conducted.
PM Flyer- This refers to the flyer I made for the peer mediation program.
Awards Night-This refers to the peer mediation awards night that recognized peer mediators.
Slide Show- This refers to the slide show that I created for the peer mediation awards night.


Interpretive:
The most important thing I have gained from this experience was being able to both dedicate myself to peer mediation and help the program It took a lot of dedication to have peer mediation as my senior topic and have it as an elective. I helped the program to my best ability through service learning and my independent components. On top of that I gained a lot of knowledge, that I didn't know prior. I learned how peer mediation programs can be really beneficial to schools, and just knowing the mediation process helps in everyday life. Being able to apply what I learned in peer mediation to my life is part of what made my senior project very significant. 

Applied:
Service learning helped me answer my essential question because I was able to work closely the peer mediation program and apply my question to the program. I was able to see what worked in the program and what didn't. I also got hands on experience by interacting with the students in the program and analyzing their strengths and weaknesses. This was significant because I could then see what the program was lacking and I was then able to apply my answers. All of my answers were appropriate to my essential question and tied in perfectly. Due to service leaning I was able to apply my answers and see if they were suited to be the best answers to my essential question.

Mrs.Ortega I really enjoyed working with you and the peer mediation program. It was a great experience and
one that I will never forget. Although the work that we did was serious, we always managed to have a good laugh. Thank you for making service learning educational and fun. I won't ever look forward to Tuesday's at 1:30 like I did when we had service learning. :) I wish you and the program the best! Don't worry I'll visit.

Thank you.
