So last Friday we finally presented. I think I did pretty well. I kind of upset that its taking all day to know my score. And just to let everyone know if I failed witch I shouldn’t have I leaving. But to move from the negative they as in the panelist seem like they liked it so I hope they just gave me the 140. So then I can say scholarship here I come lol. Write back when I get my score!!!!

So today I edit my outline to be able to turn it in correctly. Also I finished my rewrite of the oral and written rubric in my own words. I had a nice long discussion with Ms. Savido to make sure I was going in the right direction for my paper to be the best paper ever. So tomrrow I going to focus on my portfolio portion again and hopefully it goes better then it did yesterday and I can get atlease one page done.

Today I got ALOT DONE. Over the past weekend I worked very hard on ways I can do my topic and they differnt actions I can go upon my topic. So out of those I think I found my choice of what im going to do. So today I did alot of research on it and found some intrestiing things and found some one who did something like this before that im going to referce in my papers. And us that to compare to what I find in my studies. I also found some good websites on it and tomorrow im going to look through them for some intresting facts that I can use.

Oliver Laniear

I only know alittle about our graduation project here at city high. Recently I have heard some things from people that did there projects before. Like on there topics they used, and how it can get very difficault if you fall behind, there is alot of research you have to do and cite each source. Some of my intrests for my project is the incarceration rate for males in jail around the country. With the effects it has on themselves and there families. Some concerns for me is how I am going to get started on this and how will I get access to them.
