Blog 13: 10 Hour Mentorship Check-In

1.   Where are you doing your mentorship?
Im completing my mentorship behind the grill at Cantina Grill Restaurant in Pomona. I've been here since the beginning of the year and plan to stay until the end of the year.

2.   Who is your contact?  What makes this person an expert?
My contact at Cantina Grill is Saab Shaman, the owner/proprietor of the restaurant. Though he does not comes often, he created the menu, the recipes and comes often to help work amongst his employees.

3.   How many hours have you done during the school year? (Summer Mentorship Hours and Mentorship Hours should be reflected separately in your Senior Project Hours log located on the right hand side of your blog).
So, far, I have completed roughly 31 hours, not counting summer hours (as I have not completed any).

4.   Succinctly summarize what you did, how well you and your mentor worked together, and how you plan to complete the remaining hours.
This semester, I began my culinary adventure; learning to cup, chop, measure, fry, bake and to start making smaller dishes on my own. Though he wasn't always there, Saab was patient yet firm with his teaching and taught me many useful lessons in the kitchen. I plan to remain there mentoring under other more specialized employees for the rest of the year.

*You need 50 hours plus the original 10 in the summer by May.   The original 10 from the summer do not count toward the 50.  By the end of the year, you will have 60 hours counting that original 10
