Blog 9 - Advisory Prep 3


1. State whether or not you currently have a mentor, and what the status of your interview is with that person?
  • I currently do have a mentor. He takes on the responsibilities for the nature center and makes sure everything is running smoothly. If there's ever a problem, he's the first person to address it. I will be going to the nature center this Thursday to interview him.
2. At this point, your research is probably guiding your studies toward more specific areas within your topic. Name the area or two you find most promising and explain your reasons.
  • Communication is one of the most important concepts when taking care of wildlife animals. Communication allows them to have a lot more connections with other nature centers and rehabilitation organizations. If the rehabilitation centers have an animal that can no longer be returned to their natural habitat, they look for nature centers who will be willing to adopt it as an educational animal. These organizations help each other out.
3. What kinds of sources do you think will help you in the next month to gain more research depth? Where will you go to get them?
  • I've recently been to the library and checked out a couple of books. I've realized that some of these books touch up on topics that would have never occurred to me to research. I also feel like interviews would be a great source of information because you're able to talk to the staff members about their experiences when actually working with animals. I want to branch out to other facilities rather than staying at the San Dimas Nature Center. This way I'll be able to get different perspectives and maybe different information.
4. Write down a possible EQ. Please don't worry about wording other than ensuring that it provides the option for multiple correct answers. At this point, the senior team is most interested in understanding your thought process.
  • What component is essentially the most important to adequately nurture a wildlife animal?
