Today is my project proposal and I have done some stuff but I need to talk to my mentor, Marta Taylor. I vision my project with big banners above the muffin table saying "rescue marine animals" I plan on making small boxes for donations and maybe sell some bracelets.

I met up with Martha Taylor today to discuss about my senior project and she gave me excellent ideas and a website to sell stuff. We talked about how I should make a brochure with a dolphin key chain attached to it and give it to people who donated. She told me I have to get Mr. Wilson's permission. She also wanted me to talk to Ms. Noyce, my college adviser, Mr. Bigelow, the head of the sports club, and Ms. Freestone, she is in charge of the AMES Newsletter.

I am working on my brochure and it is difficult what to put in it.

Martha and I had a meeting today and we basically checked off what I needed to do and what I already did. I still need to buy the key chains and talk to Mr. Bigelow and Ms. Freestone. Mr. Wilson wants me to present my project in an assembly and I refused the offer.

I just got back from Florida and I did not work on my project at all because I am so stressed out about the U.S. Government final project. I told Martha that I did not work on it and she said that it was fine.

Martha is happy that I wanted her to be my mentor because I actually do my work. I still have to do some finishing touches with the brochure but I should be done in about a week or two.

I finished my brochure and I think it took a long time because I don't have Microsoft Publisher. So I would have to work on it during school. I left the brochure in her desk because she was not there.

Martha called me over and told me that she really liked my brochure. She told me that it would be a great idea to present to Ms. Banks wildlife class and I thought that was a great idea too. Ms. Banks was there with us in the conversation and she asked me to email her whenever I wanted to.

Today I presented my "How to Rescue Marine Animal" presentation today and I believe it went very well. Ms. Banks liked my presentation and asked if she can give extra credit to me for my zoology class but sadly I was not taking that class anymore because of third semester. The students seemed interested in the video.

I told Martha about how well I did in the presentation and we talked about the project and so far I just need to buy the key chains and do the research. I actually already did a research but to me it does not tie into my senior project so I am going to do another one. Martha told me that I should not spend money on my senior project and instead of buying key chains, I should make buttons. I really liked that idea so I told her that I use to know how to make buttons but I forgot how to. She told me not to worry. She was going to talk to Ms. Nelson, a graphics teacher at cottonwood that works for AMES also.

So far I have not talked to Ms. Nelson I tried last week during lunch but she was not there. I know that I don't have that much time to procrastinate on it.
March 9, 2016
I've talked to Ms. Nelson about it and she told me that we would talk about it later. I asked when she is not busy and it was during lunch. Today I'm going to talk to her about it. I need to get this done ASAP.

Today I talked to Ms. Nelson and we just talked about the prices. It was $1 each button. I wanted 50 buttons. It was too much money. I later consulted with my mentor, Martha and she agreed with me too. We both decided to do stickers because she had some materials for it and because it cost less. I'll talk to Ms.Nelson about that.
March 14, 2016
I talked to Ms. Nelson today and it was the same price $1 each sticker and that was too much money. I talked to Martha and she and I did not like that offer. She said that she would ask Mr. Ramsey to help with the stickers. I thought that was a good idea. I decided to make my own sticker so that I don't risk getting copyrighted.
April 12, 2016
I finally finished my sticker! I sent it to Martha and hopefully she gets my email.
