We haven’t accomplished anything this week. We are still trying to get a response from Ms. Elizabeth about the situation in Tinian. Lack of communication about the project is our biggest problem. Throughout this week I wasn’t active in making more ideas because I was on strong medications that made me drowsy all the time. I face full responsibility on not making this week work because of my personal reasons and hopefully in the future we will make more progress. After all the exams and project, I will make this my top priority because I want to succeed in making an actual difference in these animals’ home and future. Me and my partner actually plan to make our organization last a bit longer than “just” a project for Geometry. My next action is to find out a response from Ms. Elizabeth about the situation in Tinian and make more fundraisers to meet our goal.

                                                      

We haven’t accomplished anything for this week. This week was prom week which has been a really busy week and our mentor went to Tinian to see the situation there so we weren’t able to collaborate with her with future fundraisers. Same as always, time will always be my biggest challenger because I can’t fit everything in a day. I have no idea how some people can manage their time so well. I wish to obtain that type of skill and responsibility after this Make a Difference Project. My skills haven’t improved at all over the past week. I believe in my other blogs I mentioned that I want to have great time management skill and I am currently pushing myself to overcome my poor skills and laziness. Looking at our proposal for this project, we aren’t on track for on-time delivery. There has been many delays in our schedule but we wish to continue this project till the end of the school year or more. My next action is to find out about the situation on Tinian so we can set our own goal.

My partner and I fund raised during our Cultural Day event for Saipan Cares for animals. It was stressful putting everything together because we only had three days to prepare our things that we will need. Planning on what we would sell was the biggest challenge for me because there are other booths that had the money and ideas that were all put together to make their own booth successful. We  had to focus on our budget for this event due to no funding at all. We both agreed on selling corn dogs because it was affordable and easier to cook, however we weren't aware that NHS  would be selling  corn dogs too! It was too late to change so we just went with it. Surprisingly, our  booth was sold out and we made a total of $158.00. My next action is to continue to send out solicitation letters and make more plans for future fundraisers to  increase our funding.

Ms. Elizabeth, the president of Saipan Cares for Animals, approved our solicitation letters! Mr. Aguon and Stuco approved me and my partner’s idea of selling in Cultural day as a fundraiser. This week has been going as planned for us despite our busy schedules. Although the sending out solicitation letters has been held back this couple of weeks due to the delay of approving the solicitation letters. Planning and listing the ideas of what to sell for Cultural Day is stressful because we don’t know what the people want to buy.  My skill in particular of being able to handle time wisely has improved, I was able to turn in all my work but also focus on this project.  My next action is to look for a tent, table, and to make a poster for our booth in Cultural Day and also send out the solicitation letters. Hopefully everything will turn out to be successful.
