September Blog- Security Research and Minor Reports

     While interviewing my mentor again, he talked about about his personal aspects of his life. You can find more details on my mentor on my interview blog from 10/29.  While I was with my mentor he taught me a few more things about security and that there was more than just one type of security. For example there is military security, CIA security and federal security. This had me go into more depth in my research articles. When I found out about this item I immediately started looking into articles regarding military, federal security and CIA security. To find more of my research on security please look into my notebook on my senior topic, Security.

     During the time I was with my mentor he taught me how to do reports. My mentor taught me that my reports are meant to go to the company that we work for, and I was to be very specific. My mentor had taught me I would need to go into depth of everything that happens during my patrol on security. For example one of the things that occurred was; there had been a homeless man on the property that digs through the dumpster, I immediately contacted my mentor. My mentor informed me he would be there within five minutes. I kept watch over the homeless man. The homeless man was still in the trash, when my mentor got there and then we escorted him off property. At that time I was told to keep watch in case he did return, he didn't return.

     In conclusion I will be continuing my research on security and communicating with my mentor.

Blog 5 Mentorship and Research Reflection

1. Mentorship question: Describe your experience in how you found your mentorship?  If you haven't found one yet, describe your experience so far in the search of a mentor.

I found my mentor by doing what I wanted to do, which was security. He was the owner of the company he lead me step-by-step and went I would be doing it as a security guard. I remember my first day going to security from the ship I was a very afraid. Mostly because acted authoritative to anyone. Even after me and my mentor at practice different scenarios, I was still a kind of afraid. But as time went on I begin getting uses to what I had to. Each day was another learning experience for me. Sometimes I would make mistakes, and my mentor would have to correct me in an appropriate matter. But, in the end I understood what to do. And I am most happy to say I had a great mentor over the summer. This will be an experience not long forgotten.

2. Research question: What has been your most important article you have read so far and why?

Well right now I'm still looking at articles, I'm looking for article specifically towards military or national security. My main goal to look for anything that deals with security. So that I may know all the different types of security, that function in the US and around the world. So far what I've learned is how security is done in a proper way. I will continue on with my research and try to find more into national and military security, for now.
