Thursday, March 3rd
Tomorrow is my meeting with Deirdre (the lady from crossroads). I'm pretty anxious/excited about this. Hopefully everything will go well and we can come up with a plan together to jumpstart my project. I need to think up some questions to ask her so I will be prepared and I will accomplish everything I want to accomplish in the meeting.

No Show
Wednesday, March 2nd
Well, today was supposed to be the NHS meeting, however, Mr. Newman was a "no show". He didn't come to school today because he was sick, so the meeting will be postponed until next week. Maybe this extra week will allow me to figure out what exactly I will be doing for the fundraiser so I can explain to all the members what my idea is.

Preparing
Tuesday, March 1st
Tomorrow is the NHS meeting so I need to prepare what I;m going to say to them. I figured I would start out with first explaining that I'm in WISE and my project is about homeless teens. Then i would go on to explain that part of what I want to do is to volunteer at a shelter and to do some sort of a fundraiser and that is what I would need their help with. Unfortunately, I haven't decided what exactly how i want to fundraise, but at least I will introduce my project to them and it will go over well.

Setting up a meeting with NHS
Monday, February 28th
Since I've found the organization that I am going to work with, I decided it would be best if I had a school organization help me out. I'm already apart of NHS so I decided to ask Newman today if he would let me talk to the other members and have them help me out with my project. He thought it would be a good idea that I do that so he told me I could speak at our next meeting on Wednesday.

Still Visiting
Sunday, February 27th
Yesterday, I had an amazing time at the party and visiting with people. It made me realize that I am extremely lucky that I have not had any life threatening illness and that life is extremely precious. Thankfully Ashleigh's fight with breast cancer is over and that others are as lucky as she is.
Tomorrow it is back to school and I need to do some more work on my WISE project.

Visiting Friends
Saturday, February 26th
Today, I woke up early so that my family and I could drive to Virginia to see my mom's best friend. It is her surprise party since she just finished her last chemo treatment for breast cancer. Because of my mom's friend and other relatives that have had breast cancer, my original thought for my project was to do something with breast cancer.

Making more progress!

Alright, so today i went home and started calling places on different websites that were for homeless teens. The first place I called was extremely disappointing because the lady was rude and it seemed like she was bothered by the fact that I called. This was discouraging, but i decided to try another place called crossroads. I called them and the lady who answered was so nice and helpful. She actually seemed pretty enthusiastic that I had called. I just explained to her that I wanted to help out and so she set up that we were to meet next friday at her office. I can't wait!
