Candy!

Today at my mentorship, Chino Pediatrics, we gave out candy to trick-or-treaters. The location at which my mentorship is located has a parade /festival where all the stores in thy shopping center give out candy. And as I passed out candy a little boy came up and said "trick-or-treat," he was a transformer (bumble bee).
I said, "Wow! A transformer!" He just blushed. And I laughed. I gave him his candy and he began to jump.
He said "Candy! Candy! Oh my gosh candy!" I had never seen a little boy get so excited for candy he just couldn't believe he had gotten candy, it was probably one of the best things to see.

Research and Working EQ

1. How can an individual best inform and push a community to stop, listen, and take action on promoting cancer awareness among children?
2. Answers to my EQ vary.

1. Inform the community of what cancer is and what causes it.
2. Inform the community on how this affects children and change their lives. 
3. Inform the community on how cancer not only affects the children but the dynamics of the family.

3. My most important source so far has been my research. Many of the articles I read have much information on the effects of cancer and what strategies parents can use to help their child feel more comfortable.
4. I am volunteering at the Chino Pediatrics office working with a group of Pediatric nurses. My mentor is Jen Soto.

1. For my 30 hours I plan to work more with my mentor, yes I do not have a mentor just yet but one I am working hard on finding one. I also thought about charity work at an actual organization that raises money for children with cancer and participate in events. Or even better yet I could go and visit children with cancer at hospitals, if they let me.
2. To prove or show evidence I would take pictures of what I learn or what my experience was for the day.
3. By working with children with cancer, I think it's best I be able to start helping them on a less professional level. What I mean is that getting a chance to play or do activities with children will help me better understand their situation and the struggle they go through having cancer.
