Final Reflection

Image
All good things come to an end and my thrill ride as a Proctor’s educator/coach is coming to a stop. Building up to the Senior Project, I always questioned myself if shadowing Mel would be the most fun and meaningful experience because I would see that many of my peers were planning to do many cool off campus activities, for example: going fishing in Florida or selling clothes at a store in downtown Boston or getting a pilot license. Then there’s me just staying on campus, the place I’ve been calling home for the past 4 years. I wondered “Am I choosing the right decision?”. However, one thing that life has taught me is that don’t ever try so hard to be like someone else. I feel like I am living in a generation where everybody focuses on other people too much, caring about other people's judgment way too much and Senior Project has proven to me that if I focus and cherish the thing that I do, I will always make the best out of it. And I did make the best out of following Mel around

Week 2 Reflection

Image
  They are special What's the point of writing the same thing this much? It's not like I have that much to say for 12 days in 15 writings.  Yeh I had fun, I learned a lot, I met many people, what's else you want me to say.  Why can't I put it all in my final reflection?

Day 11

Image
 It's crazy to think but it really is my last week of high school. I've been calling this place home for the last 4 years and all the goodbyes are coming closer. I started off the day having my last lesson with my a block athlete class, we were able to print out off the infographic today. I think all of them did a really good job. After a block, I have b block athlete class, this class is still working on their infographic today in oder to print tomorrow. In the afternoon, Mel was little busy so I was reading Shoe Dog: Young Reader Edition by Phil Knight, the founding father of Nike. I really enjoy reading this book, I will try to read as much as possible and recommend for Mel if she should teach it next year. After reading for more than an hour, I went to the field and play some soccer with future SLU star, Eric Edmonds.  Hours: 3 Total hours: 73

Day 10

Today marks the end of another week, and I only have 2 more days. Which means I have 2 more days to be around Mel. What a bummer! I feel like I'm becoming a better person each day just by being around one of the best mentors/coaches/educators/the list goes on ... I have 2 classes today, a and c block. I'm very happy that I was able to help some students creating their infographic. After classes, Mel and I went over to Cortland for some gradings until lunch. After lunch, Mel was busy so I spent some time with Heidi in the library, going over some class materials for next week. In the afternoon, I joined the GV Tennis's ice cream trip. And that wraps up the day for me.  Hours: 7 Total hours: 70

Blog 9

Honestly, I feel like my daily blog should be more creative. So imma tryna do that today and I will only talk about the highlight of my day: going on a walk to Chaffee Park Beach. I think the biggest difference of this project is that I get to meet new people. I'm usually shy at school. But for some reasons I have been able to bond so well with people I meet on Senior Project. So going on the walk was the best thing because I get to push Thea into Highland Lake. Pause. I didn't actually push her, I just scared her. Mel had a pretty good laugh at it so I thought it must have been pretty funny. All jokes aside, me and Thea, we are cool. But the walk today marks the end of the season for the tennis team. I'm so thankful that the GV Tennis welcomed me even though I'm only there for 2 weeks. They make my Senior Project memorable! Hours: 7  Total hours: 63 I'm sorry

Day 8

Image
It's halfway through my Senior Project and it has been nothing but joy. Today Mel and I only have one class, we went to a book store in New London for Athlete in Lit students to explore a local business. After getting back from NL, we prepared for the tennis team for their match against Exeter. At 12:15, the team departs for their last battle. Mel was very satisfied with the team performance even though we didn't come out on top. We got back to campus at 5 and that wraps up the day for me.  Hours: 7 Total hours: 56
