Photoshop...

I finished my articles now its time for photo shop. I found some very good pictures that i could u for my collage. The pictures are based on my essential question.

Finished...

I'm finally finished with my Work Cited. I very proud of my self. Im'a keep on pushing my self to get things done. Now i just gotta upload my Work Cited and move on to the next task...

Finishing Up...

Today im finally finished with my terms. Their was a few words i had to correct so i handled that. I also finished reasearching my ten articles. Only thing i have to do now is do three MLA and im done with that. Im getting my work done and their isnt nothing to slow me down from completing my task.

What Going On In Class...

Today in class im finishing up on my key terms. Everything been going successfully so far. I'm still waiting to meet with Ms. Fossum. I'm so interested in my topic and i keep learning new things about it everyday. I also found another article to add to the work cited and it's a very imformational piece that explains the benefits of youth sports.

" Going Hard... "

Im susposed to be meeting up with Fossum sometime this week to discuss my graduation project. I can't wait. Until then im researching for more articles based on my top. Im also trying to start finding my 10-15 terms.

Researching...

I got and e-mail back from fossum and she going to try to meet up with me when she has a chance. I'm happy cause i got some experienced help and i'm ready for what very she has to tell me. Right now i'm still researching my top and hopefully ima try to get my work cited done.

A Little Help is all i Need...

I had e-mailed a teacher at my school Michelle Fossum. She has helped a student on their graudtion projct who had the same idea as me. His project was baised on the benefits of playing basketball as a positve influence in urban communities. I find that a great idea. With that little bit of help i finally got a clue on what i might do. Their is some prevention to such as midnight basketball • sports • crime prevention • urban crime rates • publicity effects.

A Talk About my Topic...

I steal trying to find resonable information to figure out what i want to do. My thoughts is still on basketball but the big question is what about it. Yesterday i talked to Dr. Wertheimer about what i wanted to do he said one of the students last year did their project on basketball. I was suprised. Im'a try to find out what teacher helped that student and try to hopefully get hold of that student. Some reason another topic came to mind. If people could go back what school years would most people perfer like elementry school, middle school, or high school and why.

I Need Info...

I need help with how to get started i got information on how, but I'm talking about how am i going to find a way to involve basketball with my graduation project. If i was thinking about coaching kids or something theirs a Boys & Girls club close to my house that I used to attend when i was younger. I made Youth of the Year down there and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't mind helping me. I could get someone to video camera me while im coaching. What i need is other agendas though.

I'm sticking with the Hoops...

Today I still got thoughts on doing something with basketball. I feel that since its something I'm talented at why not give it a shot on my graduation project. I talked to a friend of mine who just recently graduated high school. He did his graduation project on something dealing with basketball. I wonder if he can help. Maybe i should ask him for more advice.

coming up with ideas...

I was thinking about doing my project something dealing with sports. Im not really understanding this yet but hopefully i get it. I was thinking about maybe how a coach, coaches his team or maybe how it fells for a player to be on the team. I also had ideas on studio involvement like making musc or something.
