While researching what to have as my third answer I found this youtube video that helps a lot. It has a lot of facts and details on what is the best way to cope if someone has autism. It's a pretty long video with a lot of bullet points but it was fun to watch. I enjoyed it because I learned so much from it and it helped me a lot with my third answer to my essential question. The video is presented by Caroline Moniza who is a family consoler. Below I've posted the link.

2. What is your first answer?
Defected genes which contribute to the development and growth of the brain have been suspected to cause autism.
3. What is your second answer?
The MMR vaccine poses far worse harmful effects than expected beneficial ones such as the development of autism.
4. List three reasons your answer is true with a
real-world application for each.
- After
receiving the MMR vaccine, a child starts to begin symptoms of autism.
- A small study of bowel disease and autism was published by
Wakefield in 1998.
- Jenny McCarthy went on Oprah to say she
believes that a vaccination caused her son's autism and wrote a book about
it
5. What printed source best supports your answer?
This website talks about reasons why it doesn't cause autism but also talks about Jenny McCarthy saying her son received autism because of a vaccine.

6. What other source supports your answer?
This is a great source because it strongly states everything you need to know about the MMR vaccine and how it absolutely does not cause autism.

7. Tie this together with a concluding thought.
I need to talk to my house teacher about how my answers are going to be because I know that as of right now, nothing causes autism but I have "theories" that could be the reason for autism so then I’m thinking my third answer could be how there is no cause for autism and that would be my best answer. I'm really conflicted on this and will talk to my house teacher, but I will conclude my answer with the MMR vaccine and autism.

Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Approval
1. Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
What I plan to do for my Independent Component 2 is do an additional 30 hours of where I do my mentorship. I will be doing the same thing I do as what I do when I volunteer, which is; shadowing my mentor, recording patient's vitals, and helping the medical assistants with whatever they need my help for which is usually filling out their lots.
2. Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
My evidence of showing my 30 hours of work for Independent Component 2 will be the same as to what I did for my Independent Component 1. I will be shadowing my mentor, Dr. Chen, and I will be asking her questions by the end of the day that I shadowed her. When I'm done with my 30 hours I will type up all the questions and answers I have collected and turn them in to my house teacher.
3. Explain how this component will help you explore your topic in more depth.This component will help me explore my topic more in depth because I will be shadowing my mentor and by shadowing her (going into the rooms with her and her patients) I will be learning new things about a pediatrician. It will also help me with my essential question because of the questions and answers I will be collecting from what my mentor tells me.

Blog 14: Independent Component 1
I, Leslie Luna, affirm that I completed my Independent
Component 1 which represents 34 hours of work.
The book that helped me a lot with my Independent Component 1 would be Your Child's Health by Barton D. Schmitt. Every time I shadowed with my mentor, Dr. Chen, I noticed she would recommend this book to every patient’s parent. This book talks about any type of disease or illness a baby could get. It also talks about the treatments or what to do for the baby when put in the situation. This book helped me think of a lot of questions that I needed my mentor, Dr. Chen, to answer. It’s a great book and will answer every question you have about your child’s health.

My Independent Component 1 hour are updated and labeled on this right side of my blog under the link as Senior Project Hours.
What I completed during my Independent Component 1 was just complete extra 30
hours of volunteer work. What I did was help the medical assistants with their
lots, I took vitals of patients, I assisted them to their rooms and I also
shadowed my mentor, Dr. Chen. While I shadowed my mentor I collected questions
I had for her that she would answer by the end of the day. I will be turning in
the question and answer sheets that I’ve typed out to my house teacher.
This component helped me understand the foundation of my topic better because it was an extra 30 hours of where I do my mentorship. Volunteering there helps me with my topic and my essential question because I am always surrounded by kids who have autism. I learn how to be around them and notice the way their brain works. Completing extra hours at my mentorship helps me answer my essential question.
