The first thing that the administrators told us was that there was an online portion that would last through February and would add upwards of 5 or so hours a week to our course load from school, as well as that we would design a mission to Mars. So me being involved in 3 AP classes, 2 Pre-AP classes, and 2 different clubs one of which I was president, I was nervous as to how I would handle that load. So that first week in November I started my online portion of my NASA internship, I learned so much that week through reading articles about new science technologies and watching videos. The program followed the outline of four modules;

Experience: The first day is bound to be nerve wrecking, but I dealt with my nerves effortlessly and quickly. Even though the tasks I did were simple, I had fun filling out the papers and doing my job. Every now and then, one needs to step out of their comfort zone and do things other than routine tasks (work and homework), it is imperative to get fresh air.

Today was an early release day which meant that the day would end early so the kids at both schools were filled with joy and euphoria making the day move faster than normal. The Sherwood

Today was particularly fun for me because I learned how to paint on a canvas. The painting was one for Florida pride. It was the shape of Florida which incorporated all the elements that are associated with a tropical scenery. I loved it! Everyone was very helpful, and welcoming. I felt a bit more comfortable today because many classmates came to the event. So, I had people that I could physically speak with. Although, we were supposed to sign…it’s still a working progress. Sandra helped me with my painting and it was neat. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the painting instructors name, but I know her face. She made her rounds looking at our paintings

This was the fourth activity plan I implemented at the Child Development Lab. I implemented the group time activity where I read a book to the preschoolers. Knowing that I was going to be exposed to reading to the preschoolers for the first time, I was preparing for the past two weeks. The reason I was preparing myself was because I did not want to do a mistake during group time. As I was about to begin the activity, I felt nervous and afraid because I was not sure if they children would like me conducting the group time. To get the children interested in the group time, I started to sing their favorite songs. This was another reason why I was nervous because I did not know the songs that well. Thankful the children were so excited that they

West Pender after-school has been through over countless activities over the past month. Throughout February we were able to get know Mr. Tyler more through his impressive PowerPoint presentation. We learned all about the diverse places Mr. Tyler has been to. All throughout this month we have also heavily encouraged physical activities. Everyone was engaged in various sports such as soccer and kickball. We have also introduced everyone to new games such as Dynamite and Jailbreak. In addition, we have also started new program called Acres of Adventures. This program has allowed everyone to do agricultural related activities. We have made homemade play dough and did a smelling activity through Acres of Adventures. West Pender after-school has

So, on my first day there I imagined that I was going to read to kids, do fun crafts, and have a grand ole time. But, what really happened was that I got stuck in the back organizing books, and doing all of the boring stuff that no one wanted to do. It was, kinda fun at first but then it just became

My first day was full of hugs and questions, I worked with the Pridelanders, which is the youngest group at the club. The most positive experience I had with this group was when this little boy named Kerrion was doing his homework and a girl came by and took his pape and ran around the room with it. Ashley one of the helpers managed to get the paper from girl and placed it on the table, kerrion on the other hand was beyond frustrated and it was evident that he had anger problems. He ran towards the girl with his fist clenched tight , I instantly ran over and folded his arms and crossed my legs over his, as we sat on the floor i asked him a series of questions to ease his mind off of the situation. I asked questions like what was his favorite

I went to the preschool on Thursday to spent time observing and talking with the children.. (3 hours)

It was my second week as a certified volunteer counselor at the Children's Association for Maximum Potential, fittingly named Camp CAMP—a

The youth and adults in my youth group have busy schedules apart from the many activities the church provides, but since my youth leader plans stuff everyone enjoys, we all share some of the same likes and hobbies. We all strive to strengthen our relationship with God and each other in various ways. Coming to regular youth meetings benefits us individually and as a group. We learn more about how we should act as Christians and how we should treat everyone we meet. Stephen, our youth minister, teaches us different lessons every Sunday and Wednesday nights with sometimes games to illustrate. One time in particular he made us use cut up pvc pipe to carry a marble from one end of the room to another inside of the pieces of the pipes and rolling it into a basket on the ground to win. The two hardest things about the game were that the pvs pieces only covered half the distance we had to go and if we dropped it we had to start all over. After we dropped it half a dozen times, we made it into the basket. He taught us a lesson about how we needed each other in life, but without good communication and respect we wouldn’t

The library is a great place filled with so many opportunities to learn as an individual, family unit, and community. Throughout my research I learned. During this event, I learned that a parent’s role in a child’s play time can very beneficial. Placing this in the community greater builds the trust the family and community have in one another. As stated earlier, I was disappointed in the small amount of those who participated in this event. To improve this event, I would hold it once a month instead of every Sunday to make it seem like a special occasion. Lack of advertising could have also been a contributing factor. Instead of just putting this on the library website, the Library could distribute kids’ activity and event calendars flyers to recreation centers, churches, synagogues, and work places to stimulate interest. This could encourage those from other backgrounds or foundations to attend this community event. Since this event was held during a non-mealtime, they could entice others to attend by offering light refreshments and snacks. I would also improve this event by involving the community more in it. By holding it in a secluded room (which also had its benefits), they could hold it in a more open part of the children’s section to encourage others to join them, especially the staff of the library. Because no one working at the library was actively supervising the event, the other parents could have not known it was being

I started my orientation in late September and started getting prepped for work inside the prison. The orientation is basically a lot of instructional videos,

Everyday this week I signed in, got changed, and did the QOD. On Monday We talked about Head Injuries for the Toolbox talk. Head injuries can change your life forever and you might not even know about it. Later I did the NOCTI test, but i didn't finish it. On Tuesday I didn't come to LCTI because we had a early dismissal. On Wednesday I finished my NOCTI test. After that I review the problems I messes up on. On Thursday I did the Helped the level ones and did my NOCTI
