How have you been an effective learner?
By trying to get more information based on what I learn at my service learning administration. My mentor would usually keep in contact and hold reviews to check if I actually studied the subjects he wanted me to. I can use more book sources to look up my information to improve my ways on studying my project.

Independent Study 1
The things caught on my camera at TS camp, for my Independent Task 1.

Independent Study 2
What I wanted to do for my Independent Task 2 was, I was to go over to my freinds house who have the disorder, and ask them some question about the disorder at first. And keep track on how they try to lead a normal life despite what the disorder may put in their path. I will get authorization from their parent or legal guardian, and have to consent with them to sign off that I accomplished my Task. I will keep track by taking a log, along with some photos I will take at their house.
L: For my Independent Task 2, I had to accumalte at least 30 hours, while observing my friend Eduardo Castillo, who also has Tourette's Syndrome. I would let him proceed normally throughout the day, and he would perform the actions he does on a regular basis.
I: I was able to gather about 45 hours while doing my Independent Task 2, because, I would go over to his house, with consent of his parents, and they would allow me to observe Eduardo's tics, while he went on with his day. I would notice that he would usually tic when performing non-productive activities, such as playing games, or while he looked stuff up on the computer. And his tics seemed to be releived whenever he would ride his bike down to the liquor store, or when he would go for a swim at the community pool. He would do his best to suppress his tics if he were trying to watch a movie. So he would use a less severe arm twitch, to replace his severe head tic, so that he may enjoy the movie. At the end of the day, I would ask him some questions about his tics, and how he is able to mange a more stable life style.
A: How did this help me with answering my EQ? This was able to help me, because last semester, I went up to Angeles Crest Mountain, which is one area where they host the TSA Camp. And I would go around, asking some of the campers about their opnion about TS. And this helped me because, at camp, I had people interacting with others out in society, and how other peoples' tics may interfer with theirs. As with this Independent Study, I was able to observe one individual, and see how they're able to cooperate with their tics while at home, as opposed to being at camp. I wanted to show, that even though, people may have TS, it's veiwed socially, as a werid condition, that many people don't understand at first, which is why some people avoid them, not out of being rude, but simply because they know little of the disorder. Even though TS comes with many obstacles, it goes to show, that people can still live their lives as normal, or they can make do with what they have and lead a better life.
