Planning and Initiating

What are the goals of your project?

Our most recent goals are to buy fidget toys and give them to the BEST team to distribute when needed. We also have to ask for a letter from the school to hopefully not have to be stopped and pay extra fees while my dad brings it on the plane back from his trip to the U.S. We also are going to be working with two younger students with ADHD and dyslexia, we will work with them and a BEST teacher to try to give them some support and aid in working around their struggles. This is a little bit of a challenge for me because I don’t know that I really have beneficial methods to get around my ADHD, a lot of it involves negative habits like procrastination and avoidance. But I am hoping that by working with another student with it, it will be a learning experience for us both.

What are the milestones that you will need to meet to obtain those goals?

Making the purchase, one struggle of mine oftentimes starting is my biggest obstacle, so once I made the first step, the rest should go along smoothly. Another milestone will be the meeting on Friday, I am nervous about it, but also I think it is a really good opportunity both for us and the students.

How will you know that you have succeeded?

I will know I have succeeded once we are able to deliver the fidget toys to the BEST team. I hope to see them be helpful to students also. I worked with my mom who is also on the BEST team to make sure not to buy the ones that serve more as distractions rather than 

What is needed this week to get you started? (marketing, meetings, emails, other communication, etc.)

I really just need to order the fidgeting tools online and prepare for the meeting we will have with the two students. Once we have the fidget toys we can give them to the BEST team and focus more on working with the students.
