My project definitely took a different term as the semester slowly started slipping away. I had originally planned to get involved with an organization that promoted giving people an animal and teaching them how to care for it as a way to learn to feed themselves. Unfortunately no local events are set up currently in [...]

It has been a trying time. It seems like every time I try to do something different, I hit a road block. Let us just say that changing the world is hard. My website fell through. Dr. Homan did not think that people would [...]

My project is going better than I expected.  I am almost done editing my video and I hope to post it on YouTube very soon.  It is very unfortunate that I was only able to make the video and not the other stuff.  I must admit I got caught up with all my other classes, [...]

My project is going fairly well. I decided to change it up a bit yet again. I decided to focus on young teenagers who are already around me. I took a look around my community and family and said to myself, “You know Yaesha these young children really look up to you, and they could [...]

My project’s goal is to help eliminate Poverty in New Orleans and on a bigger spectrum in the United States. Even though we were to focus on local problems I realized that by helping our city I will also be helping the poverty levels in the nation. My project is a spin off from an [...]

On April 9, 2009, Katey, Jennifer, and I volunteered at Second Harvesters Food Bank. It was a great experience. The project we helped with was called Backpacks.

The problem that I have chosen for my project was to help educate people about underage drinking and reduce underage drinking. Honestly, I will not lie about the implementation of my project. So far, all I have done was pass out information to the families in my subdivision and to some people that are in [...]
