*Mentor Log*

October 1, 2008
9:30am-10:00am

Thsi morning when I got off the bus at approximately 9:20am I went to my mentor officer Jones. I again got lost in the district part of the building. This lady that works back there led me to his office. There were two new people in his office that I didnt get to meet yesterday. Officer Jones greeted me and said he was going to introduce me to the people.

The man that he introduced me to was a man named ken. I don't know exactly how he is in relation with officer Jones. He told the man the reason as to why I was there meeting him. The man and I exchanged hellos and told each our name. He was really nice and goofy, just like myself. Then he took on to the back to meet what he said was his boss. I can't recall the man's name but he was really welcoming. He asked my name and what is it that I was interesting in pursuing. I told him I wasnt't sure but It is something in the law enforcement field. He said I have to search within myself to find what it is because there are a lot of fields to go into. Officer Jones informed him that my mother was an officer for Winder, Barrow. His boss thought he knew who she was but he was mistaken. He told me If I needed any advice or information that Officer Jones couldn't provide me with to come and visit him. So we said our nice to meet you's and bye's.

Officer Jones and I sat in his office and he asked if I wrote down some questions that I wanted to ask. I said no but I know what I came there for. Officer Jones also provided me with an example of the product that he suggested yesterday. This lady he know did it on Timothy Road Elementary School PTA meeting. In the guide she included the meetings goals and objectives, and course descripton. He said that she made it on the computer and just made a lot of copies. I already know how to go about doing that because I have done something similar to it before.

After we got done talking about my product I started asking him random questions. The questions I was asking him was about different careers in the law enforcement and the training requirements. I also asked him about qualifying and how often they do have to qualify. I asked would he be scared in a dangerous situation. He said no and that if a person is scared to experience dangerous situations then the job might not be for them. I was asking random questions that I wanted to know. he also told me ages that you can be charged for sexual relationships. It was interesting because he told me a 16 year old can be charged for being intimate with a 15 year old. That was something that shocked me because I never knew that. I'm sure teenagers my age don't know that so i'm going to include that in my product. He also suggested that I do a powerpoint which I am taking in consideration. But that was the end of our session.
