I have not made much progress since my last post. It is very difficult to look up different activities to do for our project. When I like one thing, it seems like it would be hard to accurately do it with a group of people. Hopefully my partner had better progress than I had this whole week. When I get the time to look up some ideas, I like to look at every aspect of things. Because of that, I am very picky. Then, after me and my partner do decide on some things, we need to make sure that our mentor likes the idea. This long process takes time and I intend to make the best out of it.
I have not really done anything other than search for activities to do as a survey. I hope that I can make a final decision by next Friday. For now, I am trying to consider my potions thoroughly.
So far I have not been able to make it out at lunch to help pass out stickers for not bullying, but hopefully tomorrow will e different. Right now I am activities to do here at El Capitan High School to help everyone understand the effects of bullying. I hope to have a list of things that I want to do by tomorrow.
Yesterday I had my first meeting with my mentor. She was very helpful and now me and my partner have a better idea on what to do with our project. We realized and accepted that this project has to be more than just a project. We have to actually try and help people who are being bullied. Here is a picture of all of us:
My school is having a no bully week next week and me and my partner are helping out with that. We are going to set up in the quad and have people sign and pledge that they would not bully and to stand up against it. That should be fun! Finally, we fixed the appointment problem and we will be meeting our mentor Dr. Kelly Bentz on Tuesday. So far everything is going pretty smoothly.
This week me and my partner set up an appointment with our mentor for next week on Monday. The only problem is we don't have any school on Monday because of Martin Luther King Jr. day. Our appointment was scheduled for lunchtime and now we have to change the appointment date. For today, we both hope to get this problem situated as soon as possible.
I have five more months with this project, and this is what I plan to do with it:
January: Me and my partner Kyra hope to have couple meetings with our mentor Dr. Bentz. February: We want to make our websites the best that they can be with the help of our mentor. March: We would like to participate in Bully Awareness clubs. April: We would like to review all that we had done and prepare to present our project. May: Present our project. Hopefully all of our goals will be met. |
