"Mentor Log"

October 2
3:00pm-5:00pm

Today I met with officer Jones today in his office. We greeted each other with a hello. The same people that was there the last time I was there was in there. I greeted each of them also. Then we sat down in his office and started to get to work. The last time we decided on what my product was going to be unless I would have changed my mind from then to now. Which I have not changed my mind at all because I really like what he came up with. Well we talked about sketching out my informational guide so it can be flawless when I go to print them out. I don't know anyone with a color printer because I want the paper to red with black letters. The idea that I came up with was for them to be elaminated. That would really be cool and it would stand out. The problem is that I don't know how to go about that. Officer Jones didnt know of anyone that does that. My goal is to try to get that done.

Officer Jones asked If I knew what topics I was going to cover in the guide. He said I should include do's and don'ts of avoided getting on probation. I originally thought that probation officer do was go around and see if they were home. That's all I saw my mama do when she was once a probation officer.Officer Jones informed me that they also had to do paper work and make sure their paying fees and keeping up with that kind of stuff. Then I asked offcer Jones would it be good to not include information about how not to get on information but things like how to become one and the education you have to have for it. Either I was going to include the information he suggested or whatI suggested but I havent came to conclusion.


We also was talking about what kind of things I would include in my powerpoint. Then we came to a conclusion that the powerpoint should talk about how not to get on probation and the guide should talk about probation officer line of work and the education or vice versa. Officer Jones think that I should decide on what I want to put where before we start being hands on. So on our next visit I would have put that together. I like what we have come up with so far because at first I was so clueless and didnt know where to start.
