Weekly Quote“What you do for yourself dies with you when you leave this world, what you do for others lives on forever.” — Ken Robinson So...what have I done?Hello, Goodbye If you were wondering "that sounds familiar", it is inspired by The Beatles who I am listening to as I type this. It is the final week of Genius Hour! We made it you guys, I am so proud of us! Thank you to everyone who chose to comment on my blogs, it is greatly appreciated. Another great big thanks to my family for helping me with this project and to those who came along with me. Time truly did fly during these 12 weeks. This week will consist of a summary of everything I managed to get done over the course of 12 weeks. Week 1-3 As we know the first week consisted of the creation of the websites and after that I spent two weeks planning which ended up not being nearly enough. I underestimated how hard it would be to reach out to organizations and get something organized. I was also unaware of the schedules most of these places have. Overall it was difficult and a little stressful but in the end all worth it. Week 4 This week I did a community clean it with Kaylee Lewis. This activity was ideal for my first one because it didn't involve me reaching out to any to get it done. All I had to do was look for a area that had a lot of trash and go there with my supplies. Week 5 By this week I had fallen behind in my blogs. I needed to narrow down my focus so I could accomplish my goals. It was hard planning something that worked with my schedule, Thursday being the only day I didn't have anything to do. I realized that they weekend might be my best bet. Another thing that was a struggle was finding places that are open after school or on the weekends. Week 6 This is the week I donated clothes. It wasn't a hard task because I had already sorted through my clothes months prior. All I had do was get them out the building and organize them. They only hard thing about this week was finding someone who could drop the clothes off for me which ended up being my Aunt. Week 7 Maya and I went to Samaritan Ministries this week. This activity was enjoyable for the most part. Nothing was really tedious about it and everything we had to do was planned out for us so that was good. Week 8 Toy Donation!!!! I loved shopping for little kids. This was another one that wasn't demanding at all. I went to 5 and below and picked up things I thought the kids would enjoy. After that I wrapped them up. Week 9 This week I drove 40 minutes to a town I had never been to before so that was nerve racking. The people I ended up being with were nice and appreciative. Week 10-12 These last two weeks of Genius Hour are just me wrapping up everything. Upcoming Goals...1) Present
