coming to a close.

So grad project is coming to a close. We are at the end of the final touches for our projects and going to start practice presenting everyone's projects. I'm excited, anxious, and nervous for is what to come. This project is one thing that you have to complete in order to graduate. I feel that I couldn't have done any better on my grad project for breast cancer awareness. I chose a great topic, and I completed everything and put a lot of thought and effort into this project. I hope I met the expectations and created something meaningful that someone could look back on for an idea.

back to work.

So it's a new year. And my last year of high school.

Going back to this project is hard because you don't know where to begin. I still am working on the beginning, trying to pick up the pieces to put it together. I'm thinking about what my action plan is going to be. My questions are good and they seem finished. I need to work on my notes and come up with a great interview for this project also. I am hoping to have a lot of work done within the next couple weeks. I hope that I can accomplish my goal with this grad project once it's completed.

thinkingg?

I haven't written in a whilee. I wanted to say I have a good start on my project. I was struggling at first trying to figuring out my action plan and what I wanted to do with my project.

I was thinking about changing my project because I thought everything would be easier with my new topic but I wasn't allowed to change it.

Right now, I have an action plan thought of but I need to work on my interview and get my things together. So once I have everything in order hopefully things will start to come together for me.

2. Listening to music makes me more productive because if everyone listens to music then they can't get distracted easily by just talking to someone. So listening to music can help people actually focus on what they need to get done.

1. An independent learner possesses as being a better person, developing skills in multiple areas, who goes to their expectations and tries to succeed, you can make your own decisions even if you have to ask for help, and someone who finds what their suppose to do and their requirements to do it.

2. Being an independent person later in life helps you grow as a person and gives you the advantage of doing your own thing because you shouldn't live up to anyone elses' expectations, you should live up to your own.
