Library Volunteer (2nd Help Project)
The second project I'm going to help on is volunteering at a library. Tyler Christopher was the leader of this project. The people who helped were Anthea, Lea, Lina, Yasi, and I. We decided to go volunteer at a library to help and teach people about the new check in/out systems. Also, we sorted and labeled books. We did this on a Saturday at the Renton Library. We achieved a lot!
Road-Clean-Up Reflection
Me and 5 other people helped pick up trash off a road. This helped the environment very much. This was Tyler Christopher's lead project and we helped very much! His mom was even nice enough to buy us snacks. Something I would change (if I could) would be the weather. It was very rainy and wet and we all got worn out very quickly. I would also change how we got very lazy after a while. This clean up project made me realize that no matter where you are, there is always trash and that people should stop littering. It helped me learn about ho great it is the help the environment and how to be a leader and start helping the community yourself.
The pros were that we helped the environment very much and we got community service hours.
The cons were that we all got very wet and tired.

Road-Clean-Up Volunteer (First Help Project)
This project was lead by Tyler Christopher. We picked up trash on a long road. Tyler, Anthea, Lina, Nina, Ariel, and we splt up into two groups of three and started on two ends of this road. The weather wasn't very great and was very wet and rainy, but we all tried our best to pick up as much trash as we can. Doing this helps our environment very much. This also, was 2 hours of community service! We went on a saturday and our mentor was Tyler's mom.
Very much trash was picked up!
Here are some pictures!

Lead Project #2 (Holiday Decorations) Proposal!
(This proposal is a late proposal. I have already finished this project)
Why am I planning this project? Well, because I wanted to spread the holiday joy around neighborhoods! This will be good for everyone!
What will I be doing? I will be decorating close family friend's house with Christmas decorations before Christmas!
How will I be doing it? I will have my mom as a mentor and she will guide me on what to do and how to do things. The neighbors already have all the equiptment and I'm just putting them up.
Who will be involved? My mom, since she's my mentor, my cousin, and a friend from my old school. ot anyone from leadership because our house is really far from where anyone lives.
Where will it take place? At my neighbors house, of course!
How long will it take? This will take 3 days. I will go to the neighbors house for a couple of hours on a friday, saturday, and sunday. (Consecutive days)
How much will it cost? It will not cost any money! I'm doing this just to help.
Now to be more specific, I am doing this project in order to make my neighborhood look livelier (not that it isn't already)! I will be putting up my neighbors decorations for them and decorating their whole house! They have all the materials so all I need it hard work and labor. I will also have different people helping me with this. My mentor is my mom since she's been putting up our own house's decorations every year so far. Also, she is a good friend of my neighbor. I will decide where to put everything and how to put it. The only thing I will be instructed to do is how to put those decorations up. Another thing I will need is time. I will use up 3 days to put up all those decorations, of course with the help of my cousin and a friend! We will all work together to put up very nice decorations and lights! Each of us will have a job. For example, one person would put up the lights, one would put up the sculptures, ect. We will all help each other, of course. Before we put up the decorations, we'll plan out what we want and where we want it. We'll only be working for about 3-5 hours a day with breaks, s we don't get too tired or lazy.
The expected outcomes for this project is a GREAT looking house. PERFECT for a Christmas party. There will be lots of spirit and the whole neighborhood will light up! Also, the house owner will love the decorations.
A problem with this project is time. We might have planned out too much time or too little time. We are very well prepared besides that. We have the warm clothes and all the decorations! The decorations are already provided by the house owner. All we need is the willpower and hard work! (We might also need some snacks and refreshments, but my mom will prepare that for us). I do not need anything else; from the school, or from anyone else. This project is very important because our neighbor has not put up decorations for two yars because they are too lazy to! So this year we decided to do it for them for the holiday spirit! This will spread more spirit thrughout the neighborhood. As for the time situation, we will try our best to have enough time to finish. We will work our hardest and we won't slack off.
After this project, we will ask the house owner how they like the decorations. Also, we'll lookwith our own eyes to evaluate how we did based on how the decorations looked and how hard we worked. I know this project WILL be effective andWILL be successful because I chose hardowrking people to help me with this. Also, I promse to work hard too. I'm sure we can spread the Holiday joy!
All the equiptment, once again, is provided from the house owner; the tools, the decoration, the lights, everything. We just need to bring our hard work and our warm clothes to this project. Some people who are helping me with this is my cousin and a friend from my old school. I chose them because both of them lie closer to me and my neighbor so this will be easier for them. Also, because they have always been the hardworking people in my life and always helped me when I needed it. My mentor will be my mom. I chose her to be my mentor because she has a great ey for decorations and always makes decorations look good. She will be with us when we are decorating to guide us and what's better to do and such. Also, she would tell us how to put up the actual decorations. I chose to do this project because I like decorating things and being creative. Also, I think I'm a decent worker! (:
There was no money costs for this project I selected. Just hard work and sweat!
We decorate on Friday, Dec. 10, Saturday, Dec. 11, and Sunday, Dec. 12. From 12 - 4 p.m. each day. We will do what we can each day in that period of time.
This project is worthwhile because it doesn't take up THAT much time, but it helped people get in the holiday spirit and helps neighbors have nicer looking houses. We WILL work hard and we WILL make their hoses look nice.

Dates Changed
The first planned date for my freshmen/sophomore get-together was Dec. 16th, but it turns out that Mrs. Fitz could not hold this on that thursday. So now, instead of using that date, we have changed it to Dec. 13. A thursday coming up. All the plans are the same; watching a movie, eating snacks, and just chillen'.
Hope most of 9th and 10th graders go!

First project
So far, for my first project of the freshmen/sophomore get-together, I have came up with the date of December 16th. It is on a thursday and it will be held in Ms. Fittz's room and maybe the room next door too. Ms. Fittz is still deciding if she could do that on this date. I need to wait on Ms. Fittz response to start making posters to put up. I also need to start spreading the word. This will be from after school until 6 or 6:30.
We will watch a movie and have many snacks and it will just be a time for 9th and 10th graders to hang out. We're still debating on what movie to watch and how we'll get our snacks and treats. The people who I know are helping me with this project is Tyler Christopher, Anthea Phuong, and Francis Britschgi.

Update!
So Francis decided to change is leadership projects so I ended up not helping him with the field day thing. I finished helping Tyler's road clean up project and will post up pictures later on. I also helped with Anthea's sophomore get-together. I could not attend the actual get-together because I was busy on that day, but I did help her spread the word and hand out/put up/make posters. I also helped come up with ideas and such.
One more thing I'm planning on helping with is Tyler's next leadership project which was volunteering at the library. Helping out with sorting books and answering library members questions and things the staff asks us to do. If I'm not doing that project, I might help with Francis's other project which was taking the old tape off the walls of the school and basically cleaning up the walls.
I might actually help with both projects.
