       5. Concluding Sentence

             In conclusion although trying to get someone to create a schedule for their life is not my first answer I do believe that it is very important.

Are those who jumped from the Twin Towers on 9/11 suicides?

Are they suicides are they not? That's an argument that many people make… For me personally they are not. Many of them jumped from the Twin Towers naked with their clothing as parachutes in attempt to survive. Not one of them meant to do what they, it was just a natural instinct that they got because they prefer chose a less painful death as to jump at a speed of 200 mph instead of being burnt alive at a 1,000 degree Centigrade.

Writing a Diary


4.  List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each.

ANSWER 1

- Having someone to talk to helps you gain relief by not keeping everything in

- You may find your feeling difficult to understand but having someone knowledgeable help can make everything easier 

ANSWER 2. 

- Being able to write down your thoughts when my in a mood to talk would be another way of gaining relief on not keeping everything in

Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Approval

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.

What I attempt to do for my 2nd independent component, is a scrapbook.  On the scrapbook I will have different topics which are related to suicide such as depression, bipolar disorder and personality disorder, in which I will talk about different treatments/medications that can be used to help treat it. I will try to include images as much as possible, recent studies and/or real life scenarios according to the mental illness that I will be doing of that week. 

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.

 I will have a  scrapbook and I will print up the articles in which I find the information. 

3.  Explain how this component will help you explore your topic in more depth.

The scrapbook will help in search my topic more in depth by keeping up with any new treatment or medications that have been created or have been modified throughout the period. Antidepressants were made to help prevent the suicidal thoughts for adults but in teens antidepressants most of them have a bad reaction towards the development of their brain if used at a young age. 

4.  Post a log in your Senior Project Hours link and label it "Independent Component 2" log.

Blog 14: Independent Component 1

I, Guadalupe Huaracha, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 32 Hours and 40 Minutes of work.

(b) I would go to Tri-City Mental Health Center every and used different links depending on the topic that was discussed that day.

             http://jamesclear.com/positive-thinking
             http://www.healthline.com/health/overcoming-addiction#TakeControl7

(c)Hours are updated. 

(d) What I did for my Independent Component 1 is I would go to Tri City Mental Health Center in Pomona, CA every Monday for an hour or so. After the group meetings with the TAY hope group in Tri City I would usually come back home and would do a little research on the topic that was discussed during the meeting that day to not forget what it was that I was going to look for. I'd normally would use some elective time as well to finish up looking on the topic that was discussed.  

APPLIED
: My Independent Component 1 helped me understand my topic a little better because I actually got a hands on depression and although my topic is not depression, depression is the base foundation of someone to commit suicide most of the time.
