Roller Coasters

Tech:

Goals:
1. Stay just as good at communicating with others after the Academy.

Self Assessment:
For this project I think that I had strong points, but a few weak ones.  My first strong point was communication. It took a lot of communicating to set up our trip to Six Flags and find a date that worked for everyone.  I think that my weak point was that we didn't stay up to date with our project foundry. Though overall I think that this was one of my best projects.

I'll Fly

Author's Note:
This is a poem I wrote about  not conforming to others around you and showing how you'll succeed just as much in the world.

I may dress the way I want
I may act the ways I like
I may get shot down by others
Though trust me I'll still fly

I may like to explore the yonder
I may count the hands of time
I may wonder what the answers are
Though trust me I'll still fly

I may try and cheat the hours
I may skip through grassy skies
I may dance with whales and dolphins
Though trust me I'll still fly

I may skim through boring books
I may make an off tune lullaby
I may write a story, pen and paper
Though trust me I'll still fly

I may try to make ends meet
I may ask you who what where and why
I may not drink the clearest waters
Though trust me I'll still fly

I may have many fears
I may not want to ride real high
I may put on a fake smile
Though trust me I'll still fly

I may not keep a promise
I may be like this 'til I die
I may not wear my shoes
Though trust me I'll still fly
