Reflection

After finishing this Genius Project, I think my favorite part was getting to work with Marisa and Celeste to try to change the mentality of people in order to have a cleaner environment. I think the most difficult thing was making time for this project aside from all of the other project that we had pending. Once again what I learned from this project is that I have to make more efforts and learn to manage my time to meet my goals because out of 3 days we had planned for clean ups, only 1 of them happened. I think that at the point I am right now with the self-direct, I need a lot to practice and learn in order to effectively work completely by my self.

Presentations

We are so close to ending the year and now we have to do our final presentations in front of so many people!!! I am feeling really nervous for this because its going to be a really big crowd of people. I think that we are pretty prepared for the presentation and have everything we are going to say ready. I think doing this project outside of school was a very new and exciting experience. Unfortunately we didn't do as many clean up days as we wanted to because we were overwhelmed with all the other projects that we had pending. Throughout this whole project, I learned that I really need to learn how to manage my time more effectively so that I am able to meet all my goals on time.

 


                                                 

Update

\\ Things so far are going as planned. We had our first successful clean up day on the 21st of March, unfortunately not alot of people attended. Besides Marisa, Celeste, and I, only 9 other people took the time to help us with this project but thankfully, we achieved our goal. We met at Adelante Dual Language Academy and split up into groups to pick up trash around the school for about 3 hours. With the help of the people who attended, we picked up about 5 huge bags of trash. I think since school work is a priority and we have so many other projects besides this one, we are having a hard time finding a time to hold another clean up day.
