KAAMP Fire Core ApplicationREAD THIS THOROUGHLY! Please fill out this application if you are interested in being a part of the Spring 2017 KAAMP Fire Core. Have this application turned into me by no later than 11:59 PM Thursday, January 5th, 2017 at kaamp@. Before you continue you must know the requirements and what it means to be on this KAAMP Fire Core (there will be 3 hidden question/requests in the requirements I want you to send me in your email. This is so I know you read through this and so I can get a better idea on who you are and your personality): Again, take this SERIOUSLY and more importantly, be HONEST. KAAMP means the world to me. Without it, I probably would not be the person I am today. The pairing of a potential ading could enhance their college experience immensely, and can honestly change the life for any one individual person. This may be extreme, but I do not take this process lightly.A KAAMP Coordinator is nothing without his or her Core. You are just as important as I am. I want you to be a part of this program more than previous KAAMP Cores before. (Hidden: Fave 90s-00s cartoon show and why?) With that said, being a part of Core means you are required the following: MUST BE ON CORE FOR THE DURATION OF THE WHOLE SEMESTER.The ability to interview adings at least 2/5 of the regular school days between the times of 9AM– 4PM. *It is favorable for you to have gaps in between classes. *Remember that interviews will be conducted within the first month and a half at the beginning of the spring semester.Must complete 5 study hours every 2 weeks through Academic Chair. MUST BE ABLE TO DEDICATE KAAMP DEAD WEEK TO PAIRING. THIS MEANS: You will be at a TBA location in the late hours of the night. You must attend AT LEAST 3/4 of the days and for AT LEAST 3 hours. The very last day of pairing, you are required to stay for the full duration for pairing, sending out e-mails, and etc. The night shift runs from 6 PM – 12 AM ~ sometimes later. BE PREPARED TO PUT IN WORK! MUST BE ABLE TO HELP DISTRIBUTE CLUES DURING KAAMP REVEALING WEEK. This means checking in clues, organizing clues, and distributing clues promptly and accurately. (Hidden: Email me a picture of you as a little kid and favorite memory that comes along with it).Must attend KAAMP RevealingEvery application turned in is important to me; however, I will only be accepting 2 individuals. Things I will consider:Other commitments (involvement in other things, i.e. Akbayan aspects, Student Government, Greek Life, etc.)What year you are – Ideally, I wish to select at least one individual of every grade level. Knowledge of the general membersHow this process works! I will receive applications, read them through carefully and among them select between 4-7 potential members. From then, I will conduct interviews through Skype (preferred) or through the phone. Again I am only taking 2 members this semester. Thank you for taking the time to read through this application and showing interest in being part of my KAAMP Fire Core. If you have any questions about this application or have any concerns at all, you can reach me through my cell phone at (707) 803-9316. (Hidden: WHY KAAMP? Answer to your own interpretation)Name: Year:Family: Why do you want to be a part of KAAMP Core? How has KAAMP changed your college experience? Give me your favorite experience you’ve had with your KuyAte.Based on what you have seen from KAAMP Core last semester, in what ways can we improve?This year I want to increase activity amongst the general members from every family. How can we do this, do you have any ideas?What do you hope to get out of KAAMP Core?What other commitments will you have in the upcoming semester other than Core?During an interview, an Ading says something along the lines of, "I'm only here for the parties and gifts, I don't want a family really". How do you handle this situation?Mock Pairing: I will now be giving you personalities of 3 adings and 3 KuyAtes. I will give you notes on their interviews and a general idea of what they are like. I want you to pair them as best as you can and explain thoroughly why you have decided on their pairs.AdingsBarry – 2nd year, Boy, Major: Forensic Science. Barry did not join Akbayan his first year because of some personal reason that prevented him from joining. He’s looking forward to making new friends on campus because he lives 20 minutes off campus with his Aunt. He is from Stockton, so he is still kinda new to the area and does not know very many people at school. Due to his involvement/leadership role in his Pilipino Club in high school, he is very knowledgeable about his Pilipino culture. In his spare time, he watches Game of Thrones and plays video games. He loves Childish Gambino & J. Cole and is getting into the rave scene as well. He has a very friendly personality and really wants to get involved in Akbayan. Something that would affect his pairing is that he has an ex-girlfriend in XY and his best friend is in Venture.Sarah – 1st year, Girl, Major: Child and Adolescent Development. Sarah is the youngest of three girls in her family. She is from Sacramento, CA. She likes photography and is a big foodie, at least that is what her IG feed shows. She’s always down to hangout especially if it means food adventures. She actually just got introduced to Boba and Pho this semester. She seems to be very open to us, but during the interview she expressed how closed off she can be. She plans on being part of Akbayan, but doesn’t really know how yet or what it has to offer. She also talked about her schooling and how it is her number one priority. Her music taste is very eclectic: One Republic, J. Cole, Kanye, The Script, Lupe Fiasco, and she just can’t stop listening to the Hamilton soundtrack. Something that can affect her pairing is someone who does not prioritize school and can’t handle that she can be very shy and closed off at times. Caitlynn – 1st year, Girl, Major: Business Marketing. Caitlynn has a very bubbly/loud personality. She is an only child, but has an overwhelming amount of cousins that are her age. From San Jose, CA. Her spirit animal is a small Corgi that is very active and energetic. She loves artists like Chance the Rapper, IamSu, Jeremih, and Taylor Swift. She loves food adventures and watching/talking about movies. She’s thinking of joining a sorority, but is very unsure about it still. She wants her KuyAte to be able to talk to her whenever she needs him or her. However, she does have a hard time opening up to people right off the bat. Something that could affect her pairing is that she has friends in Venture and XY and also wants someone who is very sociable. KuyAtesJenny – 2nd year. Major: Communications. XY. From San Francisco, CA. Jenny is in Syndicate and loves going on food adventures. She always has a smile and makes everyone around her feel welcomed. She loves movies and her favorite is Star Wars, and just recently watched the new one with her line. To her, being a good mentor means being someone that is there to hang out with you and talk to, basically someone easy going and accountable. Something that can affect her pairing is that she doesn’t really want a girl ading, because she just picked one up in the fall. Her ideal ading is someone that listens to good music and knows how to have fun. Phil – 4th year, Major: Psychology. Venture Fam. From Vallejo, CA. Phil loves basketball and playing League of Legends with his friends. He loves listening to Odesza, Kendrick Lamar, and loves his throwback 90s jams like Boyz II Men or 112. He wants to be there for his ading whenever he or she needs him. He believes that through all of his past school/life experiences, he has so much to offer his ading. He is very soft spoken, but is a great listener and also great at giving advice. He can be adventurous, loves to hike or get boba. He also has 2 adings already, both boys.Danny – 3rd year, Major: Economics. Smash Fam. From Daly City, CA. Danny puts his main focus on school and his internship at his dad’s business. He hasn’t been around Akbayan a lot, due to work, but he did do PCN and Friendship games his first year and loved it. However, he always favored PCN because he likes to Act and Dance. He wants to hopefully get back into Akbayan and hopes his ading will be active as well. Music taste includes Chainsmokers, Jeremih, and Fetty Wap. He wants an ading that he can talk to and guide through life. He wants an ading that he can take out and travel to SF or around SJ to get good food with. This would also be his first time picking up an ading. Lastly, you must write a letter to a KuyAte letting them know they did not get an Ading (be as brief but informative as possible. Write no more than a paragraph).**After filling out these questions I will send you a confirmation e-mail saying that your application has been received. Again, there will be a second round of the application process, where I will select only 4-7 people to interview via Skype or telephone. I thank you for your interest and look forward to your answers! ................
