Planning

Where am I today and what do I need to do for the next 3 weeks?

Right now I need to find someone who would be interested in either coming to the school or doing their motivational speak online through Zoom or any other communication platform. I’m looking specifically for people who have overcame a drug addiction that tore their life during a certain moment of their life, but if I can’t find one, then anyone who’s story is compelling and can have an impact on La Paz’s students.

I’m going to want to speak to Ms. Martha as she had someone in mind that could possibly show up to one of these motivational speakers.

How do I feel about the planning process?  What are the specific tactics that I have so that the project/meeting/experience will go well?

I currently feel motivated and exited to find someone that would be willing to come to the school as it provides the students with great life lessons they can take with them their whole life. Some tactics that I use to make this experience go smoothly is staying in touch with teachers and the schools operations leader, Allan, which tells me everything I need to know about Covid and the way to go about bringing a motivational speaker. Researching tactics are also important as it’s a way to find people who might be interested in sharing their stories.

If I am in the planning stages right now, what are my perceptions of the way my activity will go?

Considering I was able to have a successful morning meeting last year where I had Jonatan, a motivational speaker who lost his leg in a motorcycle accident gives me a perception that it would flow smoothly like that for my next activity, of course depending if I have to do it online or not. If i’m actually able to bring the speaker to the school then my perception on my activity is being a little anxious of course at the start, but once you get the activity going and the speaker is doing his thing, it starts flowing smoothly from there.

What is the purpose of my activity?  Why did I choose this activity, this location, the date and time?

The purpose of my activity is to bring motivation to the high school of La Paz, where time starts to become more stressful and feels like you can be stuck in a hole at times. I want students to learn important life lessons that they’ll be able to use whenever they need to and of course spread the amazing stories that these people have.

Who have I had to work with while planning the activity?  How will they impact the activity?

I’ve worked a bit with my mom on this activity, she’s helped me research for motivational speakers. I worked with the school too last year, figuring out everything that needed to be done to have this work which included talking to the high schools advisors and seeing if I was able to steal a block from their advisory class, in which I was indeed able to get this to work. Of course if my next activity will be online, then talking to the teachers/advisors will be necessary and dictate if I can even do my activity at all, meaning they have a large impact on it.
