Week 2 journal entry-11th grade

At the beginning of this project, I was very worried since I changed my idea 3 times already, which was very stressful to me because I thought every student in my class had it figured out, but in reality no one does, which made me feel a lot better about the position I was in. The past week has been filled with anxiety for me since it’s my first week of starting IB, but I have come to realize that every student my age is going through the same thing as I am, which really helps me to stay motivated. I’m using my time management and consistency within my work to keep my life balanced and not only about school. This is a great way for me to take a step back when I’m feeling a certain way and just take a breather. A SMART goal during IB is probably one of the most helpful things you can do during this time, it allows you to understand what you are trying to accomplish and not get distracted on your path to that accomplishment, my SMART goal is to develop an understanding of how to communicate with my teachers in times of struggles or confusion from my part, also to allow my knowledge to expand and express my creativity in ways that can be fundamental to my education. This is a SMART goal since it’s a long term accomplishment that I want to meet, this will allow me to push myself beyond my form of thinking and grow a sense of maturity during my IB process. My perception of the project at the moment is actually excitement, I love what I’m trying to do for the community, which is bringing the youth together and really enjoying a couple of hours together because in reality it could really change someone’s way of thinking since we have been trapped in our houses for so long. They’re are people that are willing to participate and help me with this process because I am new to this, so having someone to mentor me through this process is very helpful and is also a sense of security as well for me. The vision for my project is having a group of people, with a well managed staff that is having a good time and showing effort upon the event. This will benefit the community to see that my event is really trying. It’s absolutely best to make everyone happy and have a good time. It’s also good for me to understand everything that comes with running an event such as this one and is great practice for future projects that I will be running.
