Independent Component 2

Content:  

LITERAL
(a)  “I, student name, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.”
(b) My Mentor Karen Martin helped me complete my 30 hours of Independent Component. She is a Community Outreach Specialist for the FBI and allowed me to accompany her to the citizens academy. 
(c) 
(d) I completed 30 hours of additional research by attending the Citizens Academy. The Citizens Academy is a Program frequently done by the FBI that takes citizens, including high powered attorneys, people within the movie industry, business owners, doctors, etc. and places them within a type of miniature FBI training program. By doing this the FBI has more connections throughout the country. 
INTERPRETIVE 
Unfortunately this event was held at a secure FBI location in which i was not allowed to take photos or document in any similar way. Because of this my mentor took some pictures for me but they have to get clearance before they can be posted. Therefore, my documentation will be uploaded in the future. 
APPLIED
This Independent Component helped me with my senior project because it was a great insight to the FBI. Although it was not all about profiling it was great to see a different side of what the FBI does. Also, one day there was a Psychology expert there to present and he basically gave an entire presentation on how to use psychology in everyday life in order to identify things that could protect you and the people around you. Going and meeting these people not only from the community who were all cool people ready to answer any questions I had was great. And continuously meeting new FBI agents that all had mastered their respective field was amazing and put my whole project into perspective for me.
