Day 2

Today feels like a good day. I woke up at 6am to do a basketball workout, just trying to get better everyday. Mel and I met at 8:15am for b block Athlete in Lit in the dining hall, we handed out the book of choice for each student for their last project. After finishing breakfast, we move over to our class room in FFH. In today's class we finished the rest of the presentation about the book Saltwater Buddha. Following b block was c block English 9, it was my first time in this class. It was interesting to see how different Mel interact with different grade.  After c block was a block Athlete in Lit, we did the same thing as b block. That was it for teaching for today. At 4:45pm, I headed to tennis practice and got to play with some of the girls on the team. At night, I came over to Cortland for Mel's extra help where English 9 and Athlete in lit student come for help. That wraps up the day for me. 
Hours: 7

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

Final Reflection

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

Day 1

Mel and I met during d block to start the day. We went over plans and expectation for the next 2 weeks. In addition, I helped Mel prepare for some class materials for her Athlete in Lit class (a and b block). After our meeting, I headed to my first class which is Athlete in Lit b block. In this class, students were having a presenting day. They had to read a book called Saltwater Buddha  and create a map on where the main character traveled. And my job is to grade them. Big responsibility! I thought grading isn't as easy as thought. After b block, Mel and I moved to Woodland center for a block, where I did the same thing as last class. As classes end, I went over to the field house to help getting water and ice for the GV Tennis team, preparing them for their match against Tilton @4:30pm. I was assigned to keep track of the score for each game and I had a fun time watching the girls compete. That wraps up the day for me.  Total Hours: 7 Coaching's Lyfe (taking a photo with my f
