Week 13

I only worked Wednesday of this week because of a trip to Florida.  However, I accomplished a great deal.  I met with Tim this morning to go over the last Follow-up that I missed.  The mentors were paired with mentees.  They interviewed each other in sets of twos and threes.  Some groups got along better than others.  The entire group came together for an activity I proposed that we call the "balloon activity."  This was mostly a relay race.  Participants had to run and pop a series of balloons using body parts other than their arms and feet.  Wish I could have seen it.  

I did some planning for the next time the mentors and mentees see one another.  I will be leading the group through an activity from a book called Learning Leadership by Michael Brandwein.  The activity is called Popcorn and the Infernal Kernel.  I also got a better idea about what the next follow-up will look like by talking with Tim.  

I'm still waiting to finalize the schedule for the toy drive.  We still don't know when Jameson Camp will be able to pick up the toys from downtown Indy.  But the bulk of the work for the toy drive will be copying all the data from toy drive applications onto an excel sheet to submit to a higher power.

I accomplished a great deal of work for the learning plan today.  There are only a few more products to produce before the semester is completely finalized.  I'm excited to be coming up on another 2-night follow-up in December.  Tim even offered me the opportunity to continue attending follow-ups as a paid employee.  Exciting times!
