IM BAAAACCCKKK!!
goodness!...
its been quite some time since ive been on here. I found a walk to participate in...but i dont know a way to come up with a donation for it. I think i should just volunteer somewhere....but i cant find anywhere. Sometime in the near future im gonna take a week or weekend out to figure out what im going to do. I dont want to wait until the last minute to do my action. I would love to get my action done before i start 12th grade. I need to get on my grind and get some work done ASAP!!

foundraiser idea
Today Ms. Savido game me a handout about foundraisers. I had been thinking about what type of foundraiser i want to do. I didnt know if i wanted to do a bake sale or a donation type thing, But then i was on the internet and i found a great idea. The idea that i found was to have a dress down day but in order for the students/teachers to dress down they have to buy a ticket(price undecided) and pin it or desplay in somewhere visable. I thought it would be a good idea because the students are always complaining about how they wish they had a day when they could just dress down. There would be some sort of rules about what is acceptable and what is not if they dress down. If i really want to go through with this idea i would probrably have to go to Dr. Wartheimer or Mr. Zinga and tell them my idea. I think that they would possibly O.K it because all the proceeds are going to go to a good cause. I guess we shall see....

emails
I sent emails to to a few places about volunteering for my senior project. I didnt really expect to get anything back, but yesterday i checked my email and i noticed two emails from names i didnt recognize. I almost deleted them without reading them but i thought i should look at them just in case i needed those emails. When i read them they were from people that i had sent emails to about any volunteering opportunites that were available. The emails said that they would we more than happy to place me with their organization but that i would have to fill out an application and that i would have to get my clearances(but i already have them). Im trying to figure out what i want the outcome of my project to be and if i want to either volunteer, participate in a walk, conduct some type of fundraiser, or if i want to combine all of those into one.

proposal
Right now im in the process of trying answer the question on the proposal. Its tough to answer the questions because im not completely sure of what action i am going to do with my topic. Im looking at trying to get involved with Easter Seals in Pittsburgh somehow by volunteering, donating money, or somehow getting involved. I am also looking at trying to find someone at Easter Seals or a special education teacher to interview for my project. Im going to keep looking, getting my work done and more importantly staying on track and focused!
