Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Plan Approval

Well I really want to get a class at Mt Baldy view ROP on Firefighter Technology, but I have to see if there is room and talk to a counselor about getting in.

The class goes well into May (5/22) and you go for 12 hours a week (Tue. and Wed. from 3pm - 6pm, and Sat. from 8:30am - 2:30) so I'd make the required time in 3 weeks.

 It relates to my EQ because it could help me find another answer for it.
