CSUF (Researcher) 07/29/10


Third day with the Reseacher was just Phenominal. Why? because we had a full house. We had Leilani(inter), Risa(inter), Lupe Fifita(TCSC), Sora(researcher) and one of Ruth is all time friend Austin. So today was just amazing because the office wasn't as quite. We had our other interns coming in as well as other people just coming to hang out and talk about the whole internship with us.

Lupe Fifita, a member of TCSC came through to give us a brief orientation about Patience Navigation and why its important. That was also another great thing, me and mia job was to help Lupe figure our some barriers for trying to get the word out about "Getting Checked" for elderly Tongan womans. So they gave me and Mia a job, and that was to go to our mothers and explain to her in the most professional way of getting a check-up and see what their reaction was.

This is where we began the whole transcribing process. Very exciting at the beginning but then your fingers begin to ware out lol. But this was also a great experience and i also learned alot from this. We also had a special visit from our researcher Sora who just dropped by to see how we were doing. So it was so great seening her again. I really enjoyed the presence of Ruth is friend Austin, he is so amazing and loud. He knows how to put a smile on me and mia face, and also make us laugh that our head begins to hurt lol. So he is completly amazing.
