Blog #13- Endings always marks a New Beginning

                       
                       Summer's almost here and schools almost up. But should I really give this up? Before we decide, let's go through all the things we've done. We recycled a lot and made a profit on it. We also up-cycled a lot of rubbish and made lots of things.The presentation ,I felt, was the worst part. I was unable to convey the message I wanted the audience to know. I felt like I improvised too much and was too nervous to speak. But what I wanted to say was that I wanted to continue this project. Why stop here? My goal was to inspire others while making a change. Why stop inspiring others? That is it in itself why I am continuing. I want to show the seemingly impossible is possible. The previous projects I have done are somewhat great, but I didn't have enough time to get better ideas started. Now I have as much time without deadlines, and things can now go a bit more smoothly. Summer shall provide lots of time to start and finish even more amazing projects. I really can't wait! Now all that's left is a week and a half to summer filled with creativity and ambition.

Final Blog

I think that my entire project could have gone better because there were some things that i didn't do but i wanted to do. i wanted to make an impact on the school but i didn't follow through because i didn't have the money and i thought that it wouldn't work. Anyway it was decent because i still made an impact in my neighborhood and i made some of my own profit. When me and my partner started to work on the presentation we were hoping on an engaging talk but when we were up i didn't do as i planned because i was so nervous that my knees were shaking. But it was an alright presentation.

Blog #12- The End?

                       


                               So for a while now, I have been posting all about what happened. But my time on this blog might be cut short. Just maybe. So might as well tell y'all what might happen. So I have plans to continue this project of mine. It's interesting how people have reacted towards my projects. Some in awe, others just criticizing my work. But all of them had something against me in the beginning: doubt. Most people thought I would never make certain things, and the amount of time given to me wasn't enough. That's why I will continue on after school is over. What's the point of giving up a project that can inspire someone to ignore self doubt, to improve upon themselves, and learn off of other's teachings; building upon it. So this may not be the end after all, just more time to work on something I think is worth my time. A water balloon launcher, an iron man suit, and more. To create what was once trash, to build a better building on top of ruins.

                         

Blog#12 still working on it

my partner has been working on the presentation so that he can do it how he wants to do it. But i still get to put some of my own thoughts. yesterday it was like a practice round but it didn't go so well because my partner dd all the talking and all i did was to push the button to change the slide. anyway i knew i could have done better but i didn't prepare for it. Don't worry though i will practice up until Thursday because that is when i will present. i plan on doing  some background information and explain what would happen if the world didn't recycle. i will also say what i did in my perspective of the project which was to do the cleaning up part.

Blog#11 work on the presentation

I have been working on the presentation  for about a week already but i didn't like it because i am more like a talking person not a reader. When  i started to do my power point i didn't know what to do since i have no outline i am on my own. i plan to be a talker and to engage the audience instead of reading off the screen like the last presentation of"to kill a mocking". once me and my partner are done with the project we would practice so that we would talk about it not reading.

Blog #10 time to get some duct tape!

Yesterday my partner finally told me why i needed to buy duct tape. He said that he was making a sombrero out of duct tape. Hopefully during the rest of the week i can buy some and if not i will go this weekend. i think that i will get some money so that i can get a few roles of this tape. Now time for the colors he told me  i needed to get: the common colors like grey, black, blue, etc. During the two weeks i got about half a bag of aluminum and plastic i could get much because i had to pick up my brother from school so that took a ton of time from my schedule. But on the other hand i still managed to save up on a little money for my partner's duct tape. About two days ago he told me that he finished the car by him self witch made me feel bad because i only helped him once. And for that i give him all the credit because he did it not me, but he also told me that when his sister took it for a spin, it broke. hopefully this the type of duct tape i can get him so good luck to me.

Blog #10- Finished Cart

                   
                 Josue:
                             
                              So after months of looking for the right materials, building, planning, and injuring myself, I managed to build a cart. Using the base of a bed, wood planks, bike wheels, and lots of screws, the cart was alive since 5/4/14. But this poor cart met it's untimely end. While testing if it worked, my sister got onto the cart and started jumping on it. We heard a crack and the cart broke from the middle. I was devastated, but there was some success in its early demise. It proved that I can create something somewhat complicated and planning should be thought out more. But I'm not going to stop here. Using its parts, I stripped of its wood, nails, and anything else still intact and of use to prepare something that by comparison to the cart, it would be amazing. Completion would be somewhere in August, which would also mean months after the end of this project. Why stop making stuff? It would be like giving up inspiring, and to inspire is my goal.
