• (d)Through out my time working at Foothill Family Shelter I continue help to reorganize the shelves, work with other volunteers, and sort through donations. During the holidays especially I find that volunteer work is the most important. Over the break, we received more donations than we possibly knew what to do with. 
• INTERPRETIVE 
  Well, I have a log that tells the reader exactly how many hours I have done and what I did during that time. Independent Comp Log.    I was not allowed to take photos at my mentorship due to confidentiality purposes. My mentor only verified that I may take photos last night. 
  
• APPLIED
  I found that while I was working at Foothill Family Shelter, that I was looking at my project all wrong. Through careful research and observation I realized that there are many misconceptions that the public and myself had about obesity, food justice, and overall the food system that we have in America. I felt that it was highlighted especially in my work at Foothill Family Shelter due to the lack of resources and understanding that I personally found through my mentorship. In a way... it is like I was focusing in on one leaf of the tree ( Foothill Family Shelter) when there is a whole system of charities, companies, food programs that contribute to figuring out a solution to the food gap problem.
