Sept.18

On Friday the 18th Jocelyn and I worked on our hypotheses. She and I wrote down six hypotheses explaining the youth of the Marshallese Community and the Church separation. We gave it to Joe and Jay to check it, and realized She and I needed to add more to it. The main thing Jocelyn and i needed to do was explain our hypotheses by being formal, using, who, what ,where, when, and how. Although we thought it would be easy, little did we know, we spent at least three hours working on our hypotheses, and still she and I needed to add more to it. As we looked through our mistake we realized what we were missing, and it was the whole point of our hypotheses, and it wasn't just mentioning the church but the youth and their health. The third time Joe had explained to us what we should add to our hypotheses and erase what was not needed, we finally got it. We are still in the process of writing our hypotheses, and I am sure it will turn out to be a great success.

On the 17th of September I read the article by Trisha Greenhalgh on how to write hypotheses and samples. I realized how the article would mention the words systamtic review multiple times. systematic review means having information in order and having it given to you.The task of systematic review refers to as drawing up a list of standard up judgement working together as a group.I decided to highlight some sentences with the yellow meaning, i had questions about, and the color pink, meaning i did not understand what the writer was trying to explain. I thought it would be a good idea to take some notes about the article, so that it would help me when i write me hyoptheses.

Today Chas, Joe, Jocelyn and I met with Diana. We brain stormed about what our research is mainly going to be about. We gathered information that we knew and discussed how it relates to our project. For example Diana mentioned to us about scientific research, how to come up with hypotheses, and theories that can help a hypotheses. She also mentioned how to collect data and analyzing them. Before going out and just interviewing people there are several concepts we need to learn in order to interview others. We first need to be trained to interview other people. So that when they ask us about what is it that we are doing we know exactly what to say instead of giving them false information.
Before ending the meeting we were given a task, which are finding at least six hypotheses for our project. We were e-mailed an article for us to read, explaining how to write surveys and how it has its limitation tools. When writing surveys it is also important to have it in English and the secondary language. Before meeting up with each other we planned to have our at least six hypotheses done and have already read the article.

Sept. 15th

On the fifteen i read one of the articles. What the article was talking about was the health issues of our Pacific Islanders. What causes, the health., and how we can prevent it. From reading this article I have learned so much from it. I have family members who is going through some health issues and how they as well can prevent it from happening. By having the health issues from happening I've learned that eating more healthy food is important, and eating less fat. Although it might sound very small, eating too much fat causes obese which leads to death. Many people have died from obese and not taking care of their body. I figure the only way to prevent that from happening is being able to make that change and eating healthy everyday.

Today on the eleventh Jocelyn and I met with Joe to discuss about the project plan. Joe helped us out on how to start off with the survey and question list. Jocelyn and I had to come up with twenty questions having to relate to the health and personal life of the Marshallese community. For example, some of the questions were, what is it that they do for the Marshallese Community, do they drink or even do drugs, and do they attend community gatherings. We picked out ten youths ages 15-25 and adults, ages 26 and up to interview for our internship. We listed them by their, first and last names, affiliation, numbers, and e-mails. The reason we picked out these ten youths and ten adults is because Jocelyn and I believe they as well, will be a great aspect towards this project by giving us their answers and opinions.

Sept.10th

On this day Jos and I started writing or goal sheet. What we decided on to add to our goal sheet was ideas that came to mind. For example, we thought it would be a great idea because that way we have the youth giving us their perspective and how they feel about it. What we also added to the goal sheet was how this project can benefit the Marshallese  Community. By having it help the community Jos and I are also taking a stand. Letting the adults know how its hurting our younger generation and the nonsense is going no where. If the adults change their ways, i believe that the positive change will make a huge impact towards our generation.

Sept. 7th

September 7th Jos and I discussed on what we should write on our internship goal. She and I brained stormed a little on what we to write about. What we both came up with was whats going on with our Marshallese Community, how it has affected the youth, and how should we solve it.
