(1 hour)

Activity:

I went to Wal-Mart to purchase yarn,

which I needed to make the hats.

Commentary:

I bought several different colors and a

couple of different textures. I am not

sure which yarn will yield the best

results. The yarn was a little more

expensive than I expected, but I needed

it to be high quality.

Activity:

I started knitting hats for the premature

babies. I made 12 hats.

Commentary:

I learned that it takes me about one

hour to knit a hat. I really need to sit

get my work done.

Activity:

I kept knitting hats for the premature

babies.

Commentary:

I learned that the type of yarn I use

greatly affects the appearance of the

finished hats. Hats made with thick

yarn are much better looking than hats

made with thin yarn.

(45 minutes)

Activity:

I met with Mrs. Meisner, my facilitator,

to talk with her about my project and

her career, get her resume, and take a

picture with her.

Commentary:

I found that it was difficult to find a

time that both Mrs. Meisner and I were

not busy. We both have very busy

schedules, so meeting was not as easy

as I expected.

I continued working on hats. Today, I

Commentary:

I worked during October, and I found it

difficult to find time for work, school,

and making hats. Last month, I focused

primarily on school, but now I will try

to dedicate more time to making hats.

Activity:

I continued to knit hats. I made about

Commentary:

I thought it would be more difficult to

work on my hats while I was in New

York for Christmas, but it was actually

easy. I did not encounter the same

distractions that I run into at home.

(5 hours )

Activity:

I collected money for the March of

Dimes.

Commentary:

Collecting money was very difficult. I

asked several stores if I could ask for

donations near their doors, but I was

continuously turned down. Instead, I

collected money by going door to door

in my neighborhood.

I filmed and created the video for my

presentation.

Commentary:

I found it difficult to work in the newer

video would have been easier to

complete if I was more familiar with the

program.
