In Class Project Share

 Today in class we had a very fun yet very informative day of class. Many of my classmates shared the progress that they had made on their projects. To my surprise, everyone had made immense strides toward their goals. This was both exhilarating and somewhat depressing because although I was excited to see how much my classmates had accomplished, it made me think about how I could be putting in more effort and time into my WISE project.
Here is how class went:
Natanya shared first and gave everyone a chocolate chip cookie which were pretty darn good. So tasty that I may have taken more than one, but if you told anyone I would deny it. She also had a bunch of stories of her baking woes and successes. Great Job!
Jimmy followed and talked about his training in mixed martial arts. He put me in some weird chokehold to show his progress which i guess was cool at first but then just turned painful. I will no longer be volunteering to be his practice dummy
Carrie shocked me in a good way with her presentation of her slam poetry progress. This girl had some soul! She read one of her slam poems but she didn't just read it, she READ it. She put so much emotion and I can see that she has made great strides.
Then Mary came up and talked about her progression as a clown and the carnival and how that had been a huge success. It was awesome to watch as she juggled AND talked to us at the same time, now that is some talent! What made it most memorable was that she gave me the orange giraffe that she made from balloon animals.
Jordan came afterwards and talked about how he had finally found a producer from his history of the galaxy book. Me being a star wars fan, I cant wait to see how his book turns out and I hope he continues to progress through his project.
Dylan's project? Well Dylan made something that had to do with physics and although during his explanation my mind may have wandered just a wee bit, it was awesome to see how he had already finished his project. I wonder what will come next for him.
Finally Tara brought in her sketch book and talked about her project and working with sew green, which i would assume is a sewing company. Although her project sounded kind of expensive it was awesome seeing all the types of clothes she was going to try to make.
This whole day was awesome and really got me thinking about ways i could present my project and improve my work ethic and scheduling
