Blog 14: Independent Component 1

LITERAL
(a) "I am Edwin Rubio and I affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.”
 (b) Mentor Alex Rivera and mixing.dj

(c) Provide a digital spreadsheet (aka log of the 30 hours) 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuSfro48XLm6dGxUWkQ2bzVZRWI4bmpfd1kxQUJSQmc&usp=sharing

(d) Over the passed 2 moths i have been attending some events with Alex Rivera my mentor and some on my own with my independent time to Dj, 5 hour long sessions onmy own for this amazing independent component.









INTERPRETIVE
For my proof i am going to provide more pictures like the ones i've provided before to show some of the events i have attended to.


APPLIED
How did the component help you understand the foundation of your topic better? It simply showed me dicipline and punctuality on the job simply because it is not easy but also there is major planning that it takes to prepare to a even simple event.
Please include specific examples to illustrate how it helped.

For Example: in one of the events i had to go all the way to monrovia with no laptop and i had to improvise what to do, luckly i had a back up plan with a cousin that lend me his laptop but from then on i reviewed every single item that was essential for every session specially to an important event like quincianeras and other house congratualtions party.
