Update #1

Hello!

In the following post, I will be discussing what has been going on in my Capstone Project.

I have contacted Ms. Becca Lovano several times over the past few months regarding times to complete my hours and the project as a whole. She has been very flexible with me, for she has taken into account that I am a senior and I have school things to fulfill like college applications and tests like the SAT and ACT. Also, Ms. Lovano has been busy on her own; she has had to prepare for a big location move and has had to prepare for the holiday seasons, which is St. Anthony's busiest time of year. Thus, we concluded that it would be best if I start doing my hours in January. I would also have to attend an Orientation that the Foundation provides for new members that serve over a certain amount of hours.

The Capstone also requires I take pictures of what I'm doing as proof that I am completing my hours. I want to take pictures of people eating, and interview some people for the research paper portion of the project, but I may run in to some trouble with that since its a privacy issue. Nevertheless, I know I will be able to complete my project at the best of my ability.

Thanks for Reading!

Greetings! (First Blog Entry)

Greetings!

Welcome all viewers to my blog page! My name is Alexander Hernani and I am a senior at El Camino High School. I have created this blog page for my teachers, classmates, and random viewers to follow me on my journey with my Capstone Project.

The Capstone Project is a project that all seniors at El Camino are required to complete. The point of the project, in my eyes, is to grow and experience the world around us by fulfilling 25 hours of community service. We seniors have been instructed to contact an organization and politely ask them to lend us a "Mentor," who will guide us and instruct us as we complete community service hours for that organization.

For my Capstone, I decided to contact the St. Anthony's Foundation by email and ask if I could do my project with them. A kind lady by the name of Becca Lovano received my email and contacted me back. To my joy, she agreed to work with me and help me complete my project.

If you would like to follow my adventures and experiences with the St. Anthony's Foundation, I suggest that you follow my blog. You won't be disappointed!

Many Thanks,

Alexander Hernani
