What's in store

My presentation date is rapidly making its way towards now. I’ve noticed that the older you get, the faster things come at you. This is because the older you get, presumably, the more responsibilities you’ll have, which will take more time from what you have. That is exactly what’s happening with me, now that I’m coming closer and closer to my graduation date. As I sit here and think, I realize that my presentation date is only 15 days away. I understand that those 15 days will come a lot sooner than I expect. If you really think about it, 15 days isn’t a lot of time, especially when I have to prepare for the presentation, make sure everyone knows when to be there and at what time, start thinking about what I will need for everyone and send invitations to those who will attend. I am really nervous about the days to come because everything I do will affect the outcome of my presentation. Other than this, I just need to relax a little. I just hope that my presentation will turn out to be as expected.


Something that I haven’t mentioned was a few Wednesdays ago, Cesar and I went to an Alumni Association meeting, where we introduced our project to them. We started off talking about the assignments seniors were expected to carry out for the entire school year. Then, we talked about what we originally had in mind and what we plan to do now. We asked them to contribute to our project, since they are the ones we expect to tutor the students here at Chinquapin. We asked them to email us times in which they will be free and also to pass the word along to the other Alumni Association members. The meeting turned out to be a great success in my opinion. We got great feedback that helped us think about the schedule of this online tutoring program.

Presentation Day

On this day, we spent most of the time preparing and finalizing our presentation. Things didn't go according to plan, but the presentation went well. I believe the 7 or less people who watched our presentation liked our idea of creating an online tutoring course where the alumni are the tutors. Something that didn't go according to plan was that we were unable to fully present our program. In other words, we didn't get two people to use wiziq during our presentation, even though we had pictures of people using it the previous day. We accomplished a great deal during Creativity Week. We are many steps closer to finishing our project.
