On Thursday, I logged in an hour with my mentor from 4-5. I was able to shadow my mentor again as he sold a car. His job is too help customers with choosing vehicles but he basically just reals them in for a dealer to handle the rest. I learned it is a valuable assest to be outgoing and persuasive.

Friday, I spent an hour with my mentor from 4-5. I asked my mentor if I could check out the mechanics in the dealership, but that day I learned that mechanics acutally dont work at the dealership in most cases unless their is a repair shop in the building. So if I were to work as an engineer in mechanics I wouldn't be in a dealership. This day all I did was shadow my mentor's co-worker, Janica, b/c he was busy on the phone.

Sunday, I spent 2 hours with my mentor since I was free all day. He took me on a ride in the 2013 cr-v hybrid sport car and was pretty thrilling knowing that a car can still be fast even though it's a hybrid. A hybrid is turned off whenever its on brake to save gas. I also was able to see how the engine of a hybrid is assembled by a video called "Inside a Hybrid"

Mentor time during Star testing
4/18/13
During SSFHS star testing, I was able to log in 1 hour with my mentor. From 9-10, my mentor showed me a video and a book that guided me through the engine of a hybrid. I learned that an engine can vary depending on what type of hybrid it is.

Friday, I met again with my mentor from 9-10 and just finished up the video/ book of the hybrid. Auto brands are now starting to make sport hybrids because innovaters are trying to prove that a hybrid can also be as fast as some sport gas cars. I also cleaned some cars by wiping the windows.
Total time: 2 Hours Runing total time: 13 hours

Mentor Hours
My mentor hours are completed at Victory Honda located in San Bruno, formely known as Grace Honda
3/24/13
On a Sunday, i completed my very first hours of mentoring. I logged in 2 hours, and i learned some new things. From 10-11 a.m. I worked/watced a tutorial cd on hybrid cars that just went over some basics. Then for the next hour, I followed my mentor around while he was trying to sell cars to learn some questions customers have on buying "green" cars.

I logged in 2 hours on a Wednesday at 4pm after school, and I learned that hybrids can travel 40-70 miles per gallon which is a lot compared to an ordinary vehicle. I was a shadow assistant for my mentor for pretty much the whole time, but it was a chill experience too see how a car salesman works. They can do a lot of persuading and hybrid cars seem to be more easier to compliment about.
3/31/13
Sunday at 2pm I completed 3 hours. For an hour and a half I greeted customers, asked if they have interest in hybrids cars, etc. then for the rest of the time I window shined the cars and then I learned some tips on the maintenance of hybrid cars.
4/11/13
After school on a Thursday, I logged in 2 more hours. This time I was given more videos on hybrid cars to watch. I also did so more cleaning on cars. From the video I learned that there are thrre types of "green cars" hybrid, hybrid plug-in, and electric.
4/15/13
Today I logged in 2 hours at the start of 4pm. I cleaned the cars and my mentor showed me some facts on hybrids. I learned that hybrids produce 90% less pollutants than comparable non-hybrid cars. My mentor showed me that there is slight steady increase in the purchasing of hybids meaning they are starting to expand more.
