My favorite part about the Genius project was that we were

able to make a change that involves the thing that we are passionate about, in my case making other happy and bringing a smile to their faces. The most difficult part of the project was that we did not have time to work on it during class because we would easily forget that we had another project that was also important. This made me learn about myself about doing a self-direct project is that I constantly need to keep reminding myself that I have a project that is not going to have time to work in class. One of the major things was keeping up with the blog post because I would constantly forget about doing them. I would keep repeating to my self that I would do them later and I would be focusing on other things. Due to the fact that this project is self-learning I feel like I could do better in the way that I need to be organized and need to keep reminders, so that when I enter collage I will be able to be on track and not be panicking before its due. In these 2 years I could improve my self-direct skills before entering the collage environment by being organized, is a major kill.This project made me have a deeper understanding about the hunger situation happening in the USA. Most people think because we have the food available very easily everyone is eating, but in reality they are not eating because they have low incomes, which makes it hard for them to buy the necessary food a person needs to be healthy. If anybody is interested on volunteering at a food pantry, but does not know where to find one you could go to the Santa Maria Urban Ministry, there you could volunteer or donate food for the ones in need, if you do not have time to volunteer. This will benefit many people. Just think the fact that you are helping others and bringing them a simile is the greatest accomplishment person can have.

30 days left!

I am feeling pretty confident about presenting in front of 50 students. I feel this way because I feel conformable to talk in front of my classmates because I have known them all for a long time. Additionally, my group and I are prepared to take on this presentation. This project doing out of school was pretty difficult because we were a group of 4 and for us it was hard communicating out of school. We had different schedules and we were not able to reach one another because someone was always busy doing something. Due to this we were not able to keep up with our due dates, so we had to constantly change them. This made it difficult on us because we had to change our schedules. From this project the biggest take away I took was that I am a pretty good leader. This project has helped me step out of my comfort zone, which is usually staying quiet and not speaking my mind. With the project I was able to give my opinions on what we should and should not be doing. Which things we should make our priorities first than others.

Update Time!

So far in our Genius Project is going well just like we planned it. The only struggle we have at the moment, is that we need to set up a time we need to volunteer at the food pantry because everyone had a lot on their plates. One of the biggest success in our Genius Project, personally I think it would be bringing a smile to a person in need. That is a major success for me because I love making people smile or laugh. One of the biggest struggle we have is getting organized on our presentation and getting volunteering hours in. I am feeling pretty confident about the amount of work I have left because we are on track to finish our presentation and that is the final step to finish our project. This is just the right amount of work because I find it easy because its something I am passionate about it. When I am passionate about something I find things easy because I love doing it.
