On June 14, 2011, Tyler and I start making posters. We finish three posters, and we hang them in the hallways. I know that the posters won't help that much since it is the end of the year; however, I just want to at least get the words out there. Next year I want to make this project more well known and my goal is to make a brochures and put it in the office.
-Next milestone: Pack the cartridges that the office and some teachers collected.

BLOG #3: Cartridges for Kids!---Milestone
On June 13, I asked people who are interested in helping me with this project. Tyler and Dustin were the two people who wanted to help. Dustin is not in Leadership, but he still wants to help anyway. Even though there are not a lot of people interested in helping, I'm fine with that because I think that I don't need that many helpers since this is an ongoing project. My hope to continue this project until I graduate from AHS.
-Next goal is to start making poster (June 15)

BLOG #2: Cartridges for Kids!--Milestone
So on June 8, I talked to Ms. Pappas, and she gave me the binder that has all the materials that I need for this project. After the meeting, I read all of those papers just to know more about this project. After reading all those papers, I printed a new copy of the price list of the ink cartridges (June 10). I printed a new copy because the one in the binder was two years ago. My next goal is to ask people to help (June 13).
BLOG #1: Cartridges for Kids!--Milestone
On June 8, 2011, I talked to Ms. Pappas about this project. I have to ask her about what this project is really about. My goal is to be able to start planning this project after I talk to her. I talk to her before and she said that she'll give me some paper works to see before I actually start planning. So hopefully, I'll get those paper works during the meeting.
HELP#2: Road Clean-Up
I helped Tyler with his Road Clean-Up project. We went to Alpaca This Ranch! and then we were divided into two groups. In my group, there were three people: Lea, Lina, and I. We cleaned up the end of the road, while Tyler's group cleaned the beginning of the road. While I was cleaning, I noticed that there were a lot of cigarette buds and beer cans. I was happy that I could help the community and the environment. I'm glad that I decided to help Tyler because I was able to meet new people and also CLEAN UP THE ROAD!!!! Cleaning up the road might sounds uninteresting, but I have to admit that it was the best experience ever! After doing that project, I tell myself that I must do that again or even once a month. I realized that there are not a lot of people who help the environment; therefore, as a leader, I must step up and be different. I told myself that I cannot be one of the millions that throw soda can or candy wrapper on the street. IT'S BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNITY! Clean-up road is now on my "favorite things to do" list :)

Lead Project #2 Team Member Outline: Cartridges for Kids!!!
The primary purpose of this project to make the environment green-er and also makes profit for Interact Club. It is very important to recycle the used ink cartridges because can negatively affect the environment. Despite the fact that I'm in Interact Club, I decided to take on this project so that I could help make some moneys so that we could use it later on. This project align with our mission and goals as a class because the main goal of this class is to help providing greener environment while helping a club at the same time. As a the one who leads this project, I am suppose to be the one who plan everything and making sure that my plans are taking into actions. My job is to also keep my helpers on top of things....that also include myself. As the leader, I believe that in order my group and I get the work done, we must contact each other frequently. We must have a couple meetings before we start doing the project. In addition, I want to make sure that each one of us has each contact so that it would make thing much easier. I know that even though my helper and I stay on top of things and plan everything out thoroughly, we will face some obstacles. One of the obstacles that I think I will most likely have to deal with is, people not donating their empty ink cartridges. If people don't donate their empty ink cartridges, this project will be an epic fail. My plan for overcoming this obstacle, I must do a really good job with getting the words out. I need to make this project more well known in AHS. Since I'll continue this project until next year, I will come up with new ideas and how I should advertise this particular project.
Lead Project #2 Outline: Cartridges for Kids!!!
Project Title: Cartridge drive for "Cartridges for Kids"
Project Time Table:
Finish by: Ongoing project
Mentor or advisor for project:
Hey, everyone...so I'm currently planning another project. The next project that I'll lead this time is a cartridge drive. I think this drive will be pretty successful because it is an ongoing thing. I know that a couple years ago, someone led this project, and it was really successful because parents donate hundreds of empty laser and inkjet cartridges. In addition, I think it will be pretty successful if I do a really good job with advertising. Hopefully, people will donate all their ink cartridges, well the ones that were already used. All the cartridges that people donate will be put into boxes and mail to CFK (Cartridges for Kids). CFK is a recycling program that pays schools and non-profit organization cash for empty laser and inkjet cartridges. The profits that CFK gives will be given to Aviation High School's Interact Club.This project aligns with our mission and goals as a class because it helps raise money for a club and also helps the environment.
The obstacles and or challenges that I will anticipate when working on this project is getting people to donate their empty laser and inkjet cartridges. In addition, I know that some people refill their ink cartridges; therefore, it will be pretty hard to get a lots of empty cartridges. Moreover, another obstacle that I will most likely have to deal with is getting the words out. I have to do really with advertising. I have to get people interested in doing this. I need to show people that they should donate their empty ink cartridges. Since the profits go to Interact Club, I think a lot of people with be a little hesitated.
My primary goal for this project is to meet all the milestones. In order for me to finish this project successfully, I must follow my plan and also have a back up plan. I must follow all my milestones. Since this is an ongoing project (until next year) I don't know when this project will be finish. Hopefully, I will be able to do this project every year until I graduate from AHS. My goal is to get this project started this month. I want to get the words out in the next couple weeks. I also want to make brochure; however, I think that won't happen until the beginning of next year. My hope is to start making posters this upcoming week (the third week of June). For instance, I want to start putting boxes in the office, in the hallways and maybe the cafeteria on the same week as the above.
I have all these milestones listed out, but I know that I'll not meet all of these milestones if I don't get help from other people. To ensure that I'll reach my project milestones, I must get help from my peers and teachers. I believe that with their help, I'll not forget about it, and I'll always be on top of things. In order for me to overcome foreseen obstacles I must be really organize, responsible and also getting things done on time.
I think some of the materials that I'll need to successfully carry out for my project include boxes and pre-paid DedEx labels. I talked to Bonnie two weeks ago, and she said that the office have all of that or I could just printed it off the website.
Beside materials, I also need people to help. As far as I'm concerned, I have at least five helpers. Hopefully, as the year progresses, I will get more helpers. Since it is only the beginning of this project, I don't expect a lot of people to help; however, in the future having 10-15 helpers would be great. My goal is to try to get a lot of people to be involve with this because this project does not only help Interact Club, but it also help the environment. It will make our school greener. I think I could also get help from the people in Ecology Club because it deals with the three R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
This is such a big project andmy goal to hold myself and my group accountable for the success of the project is to hold a lot of meeting. I will also contact each other via emails or phone. But my hope is to hold a lot of meetings because meetings seem to be one of the most effective ways.
