I am most proud of the product that I got out of my senior project and my deeper connection with athletics. I feel like with what I have learned, I can go confidently into the field of kinesiology and ultimately be happier with exercising.
I would rate myself an AP-P. My weakest point of my presentation were my skills as a presenter, which I feel will dock me down.
Considering my product and how much I have learned, I am satisfied with my senior project. However, with my laziness and lack of above and beyond work, I think my overall senior project was AP or P- work.
I have gained newer knowledge about somatotypes and nutrition that will help me be a better running. I could not do research at home and would have to do research early or ahead of time.
My senior project brings me closer to understanding the basics of kinesiology and will allow me to understand what is expected of that field.

Blog 25
*I do not have a log of hours at the moment, as I have not asked for them printed out. My total count as of now is approximately 85 hours. Casa Colina has a policy that requires volunteers to work until a minimum of 6 months and 100 hours of service has been completed. I should have these hours done within a month's time.*

Service Learning Hours
Working with Casa Colina's Sports Medicine section. I am responsible for keeping the facility equipment clean from things like wiping down mats to disposing of used towels. I also stand by to provide any help the physical therapists of their aides may need. This includes filing and copying paperwork, setting up a patient's room, or providing an extra hand to the PT's or aides in performing exercise on their patients. David Salaiz is one of the major physical therapists in the section of the facility. His number is (909-596-7733, EXT 3067).
My time at Casa Colina has helped me to experience what it is to be a physical therapist. It has given me a rare opportunity to observe the duties of therapists. The therapists themselves were helpful: they had allowed me to borrow therapeutic texts for research, taught me a few things about P.T, and ultimately encouraged my pursuit of physical therapy by giving me advice and what to expect from being a therapist.
Being in the environment of Casa Colina has stressed my seriousness of injuries. Seeing the conditions of some patients had been somewhat frightening. It really showed how much I took for granted: Here I was, not minding nutrition and proper warmups as suggested by the therapists, while the patients themselves depended on these methods. I felt that by taking in the advice from the therapists as well as the patients, I may learn what it takes to "prevent injury and prolong athletic life." All three of my EQ's answers had been supported by the employees at Casa Colina.
