First Quarter Summary |
21st Century Skills |
This quarter has been rough for me. While I thought taking classes away from school would be easy, it has proved to be difficult not going on campus. I am trying my best to get things on time and catch myself when I see my grades dwindle down. This is something I plan to perfect by the time I graduate.
My senior project has a lot to handle, and I am really feeling the stress of recruiting volunteers for my project. I have been in good contact with my mentor, Mrs. Federoff, and my next step is putting up the promotional posters and getting the volunteers updated on what set up and work is going to be like during the event. |
