Topic Choice

Content

A: What is your topic and why?

•  My topic is Obstetrics and Gynecology and the reason that I choose this topic is because I really enjoying being around pregnant women and hearing the stories they tell about their child's birth. Also I think this would be a great topic to teach others about. Since I want to go into the medical field in the near future and know that I would love to treat/diagnose moms and their babies, then this route is best.

B: What do you hope to accomplish this year with your topic (connecting each answer to the 4 ESLR's)

• I-poly citizen: I plan to give the utmost respect to members of Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park and my peers at I-poly. This relates to me improving as an I-poly citizen because the experience that I have had at I-poly have prepared to speak to strangers without being shy and thus helps me in the hospital when I volunteer. Also being punctual and having deadlines is an important part of my volunteering service because members, lab work, and patient information papers always need to be taken to different departments and doing so untimely would be disastrous. This also applies to any assignment that is given by the Senior Team.
• Effective Communicator: I plan to improve my verbal skills with my peers at I-poly and members of Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park. In doing so, I will be able to better communicate and listen better to my classmates and members visiting the hospital. Also improving my verbal skills will help me work better with other volunteers, doctors, and nurses. This will make me more effective of a learner because once I have completed my goal, I will be able to teach others with ease and with legitimate knowledge. I will also be able to teach my peers with articulacy and insightful information that I have learned. 
• Effective Learner: I plan to assume responsibility for my learning by setting up timely deadlines for my assignments in the core classes, as well as for the senior project. I also plan to complete my research punctually and make effective use of my time whenever I have free time. This will make me an effective learner because all of the things mentioned above will better prepare me for my presentation on my senior topic, college, or a job that I might acquire in the future. By accessing this new information given to me and conducting a presentation , I will be able to teach other students about my topic and will do so accurately and will hopefully learn something from my presentation. 
• Effective User of Technology: I plan to find research and take advantage of the resources around me. This will make me a more effective technology user because I would quickly know how to utilize any device that I have handy whether its at school or public source. I will also use the research that I acquire by presenting the information with a technological tool that will display the information accurately and creatively, thus making me an effective user of technology.
