For my topic, Managing a Comic Store, I already have a mentor, but I want to have a second mentor just to have two points of view. I am trying to make contact with a comic book store kin Monrovia, but I have had no respond yet. I have to talk to other comic stores so at least one of them can respond to me and take me under their wing.
For the mentor I already have, I plan of interviewing him next week since he is away on business right now. But he'll be back and ready to interview before the due date.
I also had trouble with finding my pin for the library assignment of putting a book on hold, but I have finally figured it out so I should be good now.

Blog 4: Interview Preparation
1. Who do you plan to interview? Why?
I plan on interviewing Jimmy Jay from Amazing Comic Conventions. I chose Jimmy because I felt like he was one of the best choices I can find for my senior topic. He knows the business and how to run it, so that is why I chose to interview him.
2.What additional questions do you plan to ask?
I haven't really come up with more additional questions, but I plan on those questions to make him comfortable since it seems like it might be his first time being interviewed by a random teenager.
Maybe the questions will be like:
Did you like comics as a kid?
What made you want to sell comic books for living?

Summer Mentorship
1. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgurNffFdkk1dFhmNDdsbHZLRE9JLVhWcFNBTnYwUnc#gid=0
2. Mentor: Guillermo Espino, Phone Number: (562) 440-1592
3. First question: What do we do exactly during the 10 hours of mentorship?
Second question: Is there anything else that needs to be done before completing the 10 hours?
4. The most important thing I gained from experience was learning how hard it is to own your own business. There is a lot of time and money that goes into owning your own business. It can takes years to get your business going and to actually get clients for your business. This is important because it gives me a little taste of how it is to own a business and it will help me get prepared for it.
5. For the 10 hours during the summer I did the mentorship hours with my uncle, Guillermo Espino, and he does legal work. Mostly with helping illegal immigrants become American citizens. But for my senior project I will most likely change my topic for something I am more interested in. I yet to find out what that new topic is though, but I hope to find that out soon.
