Internship 13

My mentor Cory Tatz is a very hard worker. He came in once at 7:30 am and did not leave till 5:30 pm. He works all day everyday as hard as he can. He schedules every sport for every season. He also is the head varsity baseball coach.

This is me. I worked on 2 website and a pro mo video during internship. I worked on the computer almost the whole time I was there. Countless hours working to make everything perfect.

Cory Tatz

Athletic Director for HTHV

Q: Do you enjoy what you do for HIgh Tech High? Why?

A: Yes, I do very much. This is what I always wanted to do all my life. And im doing exactly what I really enjoy doing, theres noting to me more gratifying then doing exactly the sports and the athletics and getting it started and making it work and seeing all the success the students are seeing in sports.

Q: Why did you become the athletic director?

A: Ive always loved athletics since I was young. I think it means a lot to both the students and i also think its healthy for the students to be involved in athletics. In some situations that i have been in I didn't feel like athletics were done properly. and I wanted to develop a program that i thought was not only a program in playing sports but also teaching proper edique and being a good citizen in a good way of a good sport in a way that they went about things and I think we are achieving that here at High Tech High

Q: What makes you so passionate about being a baseball coach?

A: I love baseball more then anything else. its my passion in life. Theres noting id rather do than be on a baseball field. and i felt that way for many many years and ive coached for a lot of years as a result of that. Theres nothing better than being out on a field on a nice sunny day and doing something like this and seeing the success of the boys that play every year and watching them go on possibly to play else where or to remember their baseball or something in high school that they really enjoyed.

The, post the highlights of your mentor interview. This should be three to five questions and their answers.

These questions and answers that i choose because i though that these were important questions when it come to my mentors job. And I also thought that they were good responces to the questions that I asked

Internship 11

This week during internship it was a working week. On tuesday i got an assignment from my backup mentor. Because my mentor was out for the week. The assignment that I got was to put together a 0:30 to 0:45 second pro mo video for the HTM nerf tag tournament. It was a job in its self. I got the tape with all of the video, a camera and I had to do the rest. I had to go around looking for a 4 to 6 pin firewire cable for the camera to upload the footage. I had 40 min of video and 4 pictures that had to b condensed into 0:30 to 0:45 seconds. This task took me around 3 days to complete. I watched all the video to get the best audio and video from the 40 minutes. It takes a lot of patients to be a video editor. For me I like wen every single second of what you see, and hear is as good as I can get it. I put different effects video to make it more interesting and also adding some slow motion and fast motion effects. On friday is wen my mentor Rodney Garica looked over it to see what he wanted to change and wanted to keep. It was not very much to change but made it just a little better. I think that everyone liked the final video that got to see it. I also got the watch and co-host the 1 on 1 tournament for the HTM neft tag.

Internship 8

Choice B: What new appreciations (for who? of what?) have you gained through internship that you did not have before? How did you develop these appreciations?

For me just recently I was involved in help form 12-3 with the after school program at HTM. When I used to look at the after school program i though it was just easy and just babysitting the kids. But it takes more then that. Most of the time the kids done listen and do the opposite of what they are told. I appreciate the adults who run it because it take a lot of time and is frustrating to be with them for 3+ hours for 5 days a week.
