Blog 13: 10 Hour Mentorship Check-In

1.   Where are you doing your mentorship?

• I am currently doing my mentor-ship at the Cantina Grill restaurant a couple blocks down from I-Poly. 

2.   Who is your contact?  What makes this person an expert?

• Currently I have two contacts, Saab Shammas who is the owner of the restaurant, and his daughter Cathy Shammas who is the manager. Saab (who also happens to be my mentor) has been in the restaurant business for over 20 years, owning multiple successful restaurants in the due process. Cathy has only been in this line of work for a couple years, but while she lacks the extent of experience that Saab carries under his belt, she does know what she is doing considering the fact that she has been running the restaurant as a manager since she has worked there.

3.   How many hours have you done during the school year? (Summer Mentorship Hours and Mentorship Hours should be reflected separately in your Senior Project Hours log located on the right hand side of your blog).

• I have so far done 10 hours of mentorship so far. 

4.   Succinctly summarize what you did, how well you and your mentor worked together, and how you plan to complete the remaining hours.

• In the restaurant I work pretty much whatever the employees want me to do. This includes washing dirty dishes and placing them for the next orders, cleaning tables and trays to promote sanitary requirements, make the spices for the orders such as guacamole and salsa, cut tomatoes, lettuce, and onions, and help cook the beans. It differs day to day on what i do considering that there are employees who are already doing these tasks. In the future I plan to complete my hours by simply just going after school and working my shifts there. It's convenient and orderly so it shouldn't be too hard.
