APPLIED

• How did the component help you understand the foundation of your topic better?  Please include specific examples to illustrate this. 

Having my Independent Component being additional Mentorship Hours, I learned the basics of animal care and how a shelter really works. Animals is really new to me. I don't own any pets and I had never been on a walk with a dog on my own before so being at the shelter really gave me experience that I really need to be comfortable with dogs and cats. I love the shelter and with the additional hours that I am doing I hope to have experiences that will qualify me to be very knowledgeable for others who don't know much about shelters.
